Right … I can safely say I’ve survived Storm Eunice.
Granted? I spent most of the day, indoors, with my nephew, Jude.
And yes: he’s now posted another video.

At any rate … ?
We’ve survived Eunice. We have power.
I’m thankful I’m alive and breathing: and thankful the few trees near me are upright.
The strangest part?
You’ll possibly realise I live near a train line: one going from Shenfield to Liverpool Street.
Trains were cancelled: still are, as I write.
The strangest thing?
Was the fact Jude and I didn’t notice the silence of the trains … because of the howling of the wind …

Over the past few days?
There’s been concern about the situation in Eastern Europe.
We’re told that Russia is going to invade Ukraine.
Indeed, no less a person than President Biden has said so.
Personally?
I’m sceptical.
Partly because it’s politicians talking the situation up.
But mostly?
Because I remember Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair — Tony Blair to you and me — saying Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
That turned out to be … I’m tempted to say ‘lies,’ ‘misleading’ or ‘unreliable information.’
Let’s just I put the idea Russian’s going to invade the Ukraine on a par with Hussein’s ownership of WMD.
Being blunt?
It’s utter bollocks.
