18th May, 2026: International Museum Day.
Right, then: it’s Monday, again.
You knew that: you can see the date as easily as I can.
And, as it’s Monday?
That means I’m off to my weight management meeting, again.
I’m looking forward to that: hoping, I’ll’ve lost weight.
Which, as I was up, last week, would be nice.
The only worrying thing … ?
Is simply this: the weather looks nice, right now.
But it looks a bit changeable, later.

Given the possible leadership election the Labour government’s facing?
I know contender, Wes Streeting, has been criticised for his statements: supporting re-joining the European Union.
I voted Remain in the 2016 referendum: so you know.
But?
I don’t know that I could support rejoining, right now.
Before we left, we’d negotiated things in a way that meant we kept the Pound as our currency.
Granted, we had to co-ordinate monetary policy with the EU and the European Central Bank, but we had a measure of control over what is an internationally recognised reserve currency.
If I’ve understood things correctly, though?
Current EU membership rules mean we’d have to adopt the Euro, should we want to rejoin.
And, presumably, lose a lot more control in the process.
I’ll be honest, if Britain were to reapply to rejoin the EU?
I’d be comfier with a cast iron guarantee that we’d keep the pound.
That’s a guarantee I can’t see a politician — any politician — giving me.
