Morning Scummers
Didn't have to turn on the stair light today as morning sunshine did the job for the first time in weeks.
God, I hate football. Three games in and Fulham and West Brom are already in Departures clutching their VIP Boarding Passes whilst my Blades cling to the relegation trapdoor by their fingernails. Covid did for them I'm afraid as they really missed their fans and seem to have forgotten all the things that made them competitive before. Bloody pandemic - and Tories of course!
To the farm with FLFs today. I must get out and do some gardening while the weather holds. I was happy to let my "lawns" re-wild but the window cleaner can no longer get near the windows so I'll need to cut back the roses at the front and buddleia at the back and cut back all the beds which are encroaching onto the drive and patio. First job is to trim the box hedge that is stopping the front gates from fully opening. Walking frame and power tools - what could possibly go wrong?
I watched that Fiona Bruce twice yesterday. Found the Question Time "Afghan Special" compelling and, after The Repair Shop, there she was again with Fake or Fortune? I'd never heard of Benjamin West but seems he was a top painter in the reign of George III and, as he was born in America, plenty of his work has ended up there. Nice to see a Welsh sheep farmer buy painting for £15 on eBay and find it worth £50K!!

So the club has told AVFC that they can have JWP for £50m. Not exactly the unequivocal 'no sale' given by Semmens last week. I wonder how JWP feels about that....
Odd thing to do when we know Villa have £50m burning a hole in their pocket.
If we end up selling our best CB, best MF plyer and best striker in a single window I'm not sure how we can stay up.

I’m in London, there are a lot of people. I’m not sure this was a good idea.

After yesterday's health scare, I am taking it very quietly today. I spent the morning sleeping and have just spent the last couple of hours doing crosswords and having lunch. I STILL haven't decided whether to go to the match on Sunday, but bearing in mind what happened yesterday, if I do go then it probably would be best not to drive.
The Afghanistan débâcle rumbles on. Why are our leaders such incompetent buffoons? That is a rhetorical question. It doesn't need answering, it's more a statement of fact. Chancers, the lot of them.

The sun didn't hang around beyond mid-morning FFS!
