I'm the only one still wearing shorts on the school pick-up though. The ladies and gents of Molesey regard me with curious eyes as I march up to get X at home time.. the cold is a state of mind I guess!
Most of my activities have been indoors of late. Our visit to the local fireworks display was a great success though. I dreaded little D freaking out at the bangs and the whistles like all the toddlers around us, but she did me proud. Whilst X oohed and aahed in all the right places, she just looked a bit bored!
Did you catch any of the US Elections at all? I followed them with some interest (the lesser of two evils won in my mind, thankfully). It made me wonder - how could anyone really vote for Romney, a man who looks like he lights his cigars with one hundred dollar bills? The only non-white people he meets are probably the ones who clean his pool! He just reminded me of a younger, more photogenic version of these two:
Obama is marginally better in my mind. At least he doesn't (blatantly) send US troops abroad to protect the financial needs of his backers. You'd imagine that Romney would have a long list of 'well wishers' demanding some action to make them a few bucks if he got the job.. like invading Iran perhaps? Instead we have Mr O for another term, caning the credit card to pay the bills for a little longer until he has no other choice. I watched his acceptance speech with a sort of flat bemusement. He trotted out all the patriotic platitudes you would expect and the crowd whooped and hollered their joy (or was it relief?). I reckon the people from Schmoyoho said it best.
