You’ll know about the situation in the Ukraine: the country’s been invaded by Russia.
I’ve got the Today programme on in the background: and, as you possibly could guess?
It’s non-stop Ukraine coverage.
They’ve even had a former Duma member called Sergei Markov: whose been asked directly about Mr Putin’s claims he’s invading to get rid of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, and reminded President Zelenskyy’s Jewish.
According to Dr Markov? Zelenskyy’s a Neo Nazi Puppet.
To paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies? He would say that …
At any rate?
A couple of pieces of news caught my attention, yesterday.
First?
Britain’s Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, has said she would support British nationals volunteering to fight in Ukraine. Apparently, Ukraine’s setting up an International Legion if foreign volunteers wish to join.
Personally? I hope that, if people from the UK do so? I hope that no-one from the British Armed forces does.
My very limited understanding of these things tells me that could cause problems.
Regular, official, British Army troops in the Ukraine? However unofficially?
Well …
That could give Russia’s leadership an excuse for all sorts of things.

Which brings me to the next bit of news I noticed.
The worrying bit.
Yesterday saw Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, put their nuclear deterrence forces on alert.
Because of aggressive statements from the West.
Nuclear weapons.
I think we can start to worry … if Mr Putin’s happy to drop nuclear weapons into the conversation.
Let’s hope he doesn’t drop nuclear weapons onto a city …
Right … it’s a Saturday morning: one I’m going to go shopping in … or on … In or On?
At any rate, I’m going to go shopping!
Buying the monthly stash of toilet roll, as well as a few other bits.
Food will possibly be handy.
At any rate … ?
I went into Chelmsford, yesterday.
I’m jobhunting, at the moment: and am on a mandatory scheme, designed to help me find work.
A scheme I’m admittedly sceptical about: the last such scheme I was on, wasn’t especially helpful.
At any rate … ?
I had an appointment with my case worker from the scheme, yesterday: in Chelmsford. You might have seen the photos I posted on Instagram: on my way, and on the way back.
