Retired early to live in Ireland šŸ‡®šŸ‡Ŗand remain in the EU. Hate the Tories. I knit, crochet, sew and grow my own veg. Love šŸ‰ and Iā€™m learning about GAA

Simon Harris canā€™t speak on behalf of NI but in general Ireland here is a coalition of mainly centre right/left, with turn taking over leadership. They work together for the best for the country rather than score points against each other.

Ireland seems very happy that KS is PM. Simon Harris is flying over for talks today. Meanwhile the important issue of who will be in the Irish team for Rubikā€™s Cube Championships in Spain gets underway.

Probably easier to dig and not damage roots when itā€™s wet, so thereā€™s a plus side. Iā€™ll investigate the kale and leeks Ella planted for me and see if the cutworm, slugs,snails have feasted.

He needs to get a few big quick wins in. Then be clear on the plan going forward and the pain the country can expect. Ireland are very happy KS is in Lammy as FS will not be sucking up to US any time soon. Thatā€™s good if Trump gets in again.

Sounds good to me. 1982 and 1976 though so not expecting too much.

Spreads easier, not as sticky, need less, and has a slightly different taste, less salty and more veggie. I got hooked on it when my daughter moved to Australia. Not eaten Marmite since. Trouble is getting hold of it here in rural Ireland. I have to stock up when I go to the city.

Everyone who sees or hears the media, especially the ā€œbalancedā€ BBC, doing this needs to complain directly to them. Already BBC news talking about farage and 4 seats in the hourly headlines, and ignoring the Greensā€™ 4 seats

Ella is our neighboursā€™ youngest daughter. Sheā€™s a 2nd year philosophy student. Her summer job is 4 days a week so she offered to help me today on her day off. Sheā€™d never planted anything before so all very new to her.

I didnā€™t use to until this happened. I can only sleep 1-2 hours at a time at night so need a nap. Ella came round and planted up some leeks and kale for me so we filled 2/6 veg beds. Iā€™m much the same, no change.

The night out is a shame but it will be rescheduled. Afternoon nap? Iā€™m just off for one and didnā€™t stay up all night.

The British electorate only ever seems to let Labour win once the Tories have wrecked the country. Will they learn this time?

I could hop on the train and go up to London easily when I lived in Kent. Plus my son lived in London, so would combine visits and stay over.

Friends in France are saying their RW party isnā€™t anywhere near as bad as Reform. Not sure about it as I donā€™t know enough but UK does look bad with its RW lean. C*ntservatives will elect a really strong RW leader now- Braverman?

Thank you. She will need supervision as she admits sheā€™s never planted veg before but is willing to give it a go. Beds are ready as I weeded, mulched and covered before we set off in May.

Well itā€™s sunny here and Ella is coming round to plant up some kale and leeks later. All of that makes me happy. Body- letā€™s not think about the aches and pains. Brain fog- Wordle in 3/6. On balance Iā€™m ok.
