30th September, 2019.
Yep: I’m officially back to work, tonight.
Granted: it’s only four hours,
But I’m OK with that.
It means I’m standing around for less time …
It also means that — should certain items turn up from Amazon and Ebay — I’m more likely to be in.

What with one thing and another?
I noticed this piece on the BBC’s news site: where Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia — the country’s effective leader — denies ordering the death of journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.
Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?
But ALSO that Iran — in its support of Houthi rebels in Iran — will have a huge effect on the global oil prices.
He’d say that, too: JUST to get support.
My own personal thinking … ?
Well, I’m no policy wonk, no economics expert …
But can’t help but think that having vehicles that aren’t reliant on petrol, a lot earlier than have been introduced?
Would have made that less of an issue …

Just as a final thought … ?
The Today programme’s covering a story: that the UK’s current Health Secretary — Matt Hancock — is considering making vaccinations compulsory.
Which is all to the good, I think.
Granted, many devout Muslims, Jews and Christian will have issues.
But it would be a helpful way of challenging vaccines deniers.
What caught me? Was that someone on the Today programme said it would ‘provoke a democratic crisis.’
My cynical side … ?
Tells me no-one would notice …
