The forecast lied !!! it's not monsoons ... it's pleasantly sunny and warm ..... we have a man who "does" come every so often to prune the Virginia,t creeper on the house hedges etc ... and he's due today, so glad he won't get wet .... I might have to sit and advise
Obviously we don't have November 5th .... well not the fireworks bit
.... but Scotty doesn't like loud noises ...thunder
even the vacuum cleaner, so I bought one with the lowest decibels
well it is better for him .... Any firework celebrations here i.e.., 14th July are organised, but there is the odd one that goes off at midnight NY Eve, ut that consists of one single bang and that's it !
I have watched some of the US election ...we don't have as much coverage here as you do ... unless we choose to watch it on UK TV ...but I was intent on watching last night, to see history in the making, (one of those "where were you when Obama" moments). Although the polls were predicting his success, in view of the last couple of Bush triumphs
, nothing was certain. I think it's a relief not only for America but for the rest of us that the Republicans are out. One of the most moving moments for me was watching Jessie Jackson standing in the crowd in Chicago with tears streaming down his face..and I wondered what Martin Luther King would have said. I'm not naive enough to think it will all be roses now, but it will have a profound effect on the USA, and if that's for the better, it can only be a good thing.. I feel quite melancholy now ... and tired
Enjoy your day !
