29th August, 2026.
It’s officially Saturday: and a day I’m expecting peace and quiet.
And hoping — as yesterday — for rain.
Rain … !
After this year’s heatwaves, we need it.
Although … I can remember Bob Geldof talking about the famines in Ethiopia … and saying that part of the country’s issues were simple.
When it did rain after the area’s many droughts, the rain washed away the dried-out top soil, and caused more problems for farmers.
You can’t grow food if there’s no seeds … and no soil to plant them in.
I can only hope that doesn’t happen in the UK!

Oh, JUST in case you’re interested … ?
I’ve seen episode eight of For All Mankind: and thought you’d be interested in my review.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the Assisted Dying Bill, is due before the House of Commons in roughly a fortnight.
For a second time.
It’s something I support: and can only hope Brentwood’s MP votes for it in the House.
Although he hasn’t, thus far: and I’d expect him.
I mention this because Prime Minister Andy Burnham has recently announced he plans to abstain on the vote: as he doesn’t want to influence his party’s vote.
I’ve mixed feelings.
On the one hand?
I can applaud him for taking a principled stance.
On the other hand … ?
I’d rather he publicly supported the bill and voted for it: in order to rally support for it.
I guess we’ll have to see what happens.
