Yep: you’re right …
I’m really wanting to go back to bed.
Frankly? I’m looking forward to Sunday: that’s my next day off!

Just as a point … ?
The Today programme tells me that the government’s considering sending more troops to Afghanistan — at the request of NATO and the US government — in order to help train Afghan troops.
Personally … ?
OK, it’s a bit early in the morning to get heavily political.
But I don’t like it.
Partly because the request’s come from the US government. We’re leaving the EU, and someone’s STILL happy about outside interference in UK decisions?
But also … ?
Because of cost.
I know we’re making cuts in military spending at a time of theoretical austerity: spending money on assigning troops somewhere≤ seems daft …
