Christmas book number #2

Another book read.

Not bad. A lot of possibly necessary or usual detail about elections and internal party politics. But interesting about him personally and his interactions with other leaders such as Johnson during the Brexit negotiations and dealing with political crises .

Worth the read.

The removal beast

In the queue to leave Caen

We are in London in a new flat.

The journey in a high sided van was a little uncomfortable through northern France as the remnants of the storm included strong winds and lots of rain.

🥶 Well Cold

So yesterday’s snow remains and it was cold overnight- I think minus 4 Celsius. So shutter motor was frozen and water pipes too.

Fire on in the salon.

A proper winter land

Warming up now late morning so hopefully everything will be working normally soon.

First Christmas book read

An interesting book about football and its politics and finances. The involvement of states in the ownership of clubs and the dodgy sources of money and club owners.

A few more to go.
