Oh COVID what a wonderful virus. I can say this because on Friday I had my COVID vaciantion, yes I’m that old – well almost but have contributing conditions that put me over the edge. Temporally not quite an old fart – shame no one told my body! For my sins I’ve felt a bit shit over the weekend. Not really ill but enough to mope around the house – my wife has not been impressed! Today, finally, the sudo COVID has disappeared – horrah.

To celebrate I went out and took some photographs of an enterprising spider who had spun a web across a window at the front of the house. I have no idea how spiders even conceive such a thing as they only have the smallest amount neurons to help plan such an undertaking. But they do and it is a small marvel which I think should be recognized.

In other news I see that the Tory party are starting to eat their own babies. ( I see Nigel Farage turned up – big Rishi fan I believe) Perhaps there is a grand plan, a cunning plan, perhaps it will work but at the moment it does have more of Baldrick about this than anything else. I’m tempted to cheer them on to their own destruction but of course they are the nominal governing party and could be still in power this time next year. So the more they screw things up we all suffer. The old adage that shit only flows in one direction still applies. Would Labour be any better? Don’t know but at this point they couldn’t be any worse so not that much to loose were they to win* the next election.

*What exactly win will mean at the next election is a multi headed beast which I know doubt will discuss on this blog in the coming months – you have been warned.
