Such were the cries fron behind me in the Brexit Party Rally today at the Devon County Show Show ground. It was said so often, with such passion by same person had to look round eventually to see if it really was an elderly woman..very strident if so. Eventually saw it was a man.
Up and got ready for sailing Bbq fin se saison thing on River Dart A lot of shouting (by me) over breakfast on my part in getting the young up for which I had to apologise in car.
Bring on the Fishwife. God ….my (all) children are so SLOW and forgetful. Ask them to do things calmly and absolutely nothing happens. They slide out of the room and are discovered 10 mins later on their phones! I am driven into a foaming rage by them at drop of a hat these days.
Arrived at sailing club to find a rather muted affair. Dog did a poo in the Boat Park in front of people just as we arrived and I gad my best face on. Makes me SICK. Had to send River Sprite back to car (as she was leading the culprit) for poo bags – forgotten in hurried exit . Surprised to find party within, upstairs in Clubhouse. Sotto voce. Not quite the jolly, outdoors bash and burger-flipping fest of last year. Got the feeling there might have been an altercation about who…..er… won in the sailing? There was a word muttered under breath as we walked in about a finishing line issue.
The Commodore looked rather muted, vaguely shrunken in some sense and faintly . ..er well yellow in hue? Not quite normal, buoyant self . He was doing the washing up. Virtue signalling I had the feeling. Parchment skin. Perhaps his diet to lose weight and stave off hip replacement surgery too strict?
Then to Exeter to see, “Quite right Nigel”
Very gratified on return trip down A38 too see Motorway sign saying , “New freight tariffs will apply as of Nov 1st” Hooray .
It is happening people. Is it?
After drove, pony for last time ever with River Sprite and my chum O as escort. He wore his feather plume. (Pony, not O) for the occasion. It was incredibly emotional. How many times must have harnessed him up and driven him out in last 9 years.? All family members all friends been in my carriage. How marvellous it has been. River Sprite and B D were our escorts, clattering on ahead. After we shampooed pony and cleaned his little harness for last time put away in clear, plastic wrapper.
