R's rue

Boris was blunt and to the point I'm glad The lowest denominator factored in I felt quite alone earlier,  after he had spoken. No husband to bounce off No warm body to hug I sat feeling sad and turned to the sofa were three pairs of eyes looked at me very carefully in the dark The dogs sensed something was afoot, they have for days They were on edge and watchful And they watched me carefully Mary jumped silently by my side and leaned in like Welsh terriers do I'm not alone

I've never really like Robert Kirkman's larger than life characters from The Walking Dead comic books. They are florid, and unsympathetic and often too large to be believed. But under the thoughtful, measured and intelligent control of actress Danai Gurira, the tv Michonne  became a pivotal leading character in a series that initially was less than sympathetic to the African American characters In tonight's episode we saw Michonne walk away from her Alexandrian family and friends for the last time and her inspired, Japanese sword wheeling heroine  will be sorely missed  by anyone who has loved the show over the past decade Pity she didn't go out with a bang

Piss Boring Blog today. I've started my holiday time by hand cleaning the living room Gaudy Welsh Jugs which are dusty and soot covered after months facing the log burner fire.  The living room paintings have been cleaned too, then carefully placed on the bed in the west wing In order for me to sugar soap the living room  walls in preparation for painting. The photographs of nearby Llandudno yesterday Were sobering . Please let us all not get angry, or judgemental But let us all take a little time to reinforce just what social distancing means in real life Let's teach each other with patience
