Sunday notes

Yet another windy, grey and overcast day in Stornoway.

In J-land, Lahoma is home and back at computer. She's still weak and the hospice have sent a hospital bed. But at least she's in good spirits.

Thanks very much for the appreciative comments on my Guest Editor's Picks. I hope it will go from strength to strength from here on.

Over in Belgium, 18,000 people have marched through Brussels to protest against rising food and fuel prices, and against the paralysis in politics. Since elections in June, no government has been formed and the situation is impacting the economy adversely. Belgium is split along linguistical lines. Let's hope the people will give the politicians that much-needed kick up the backside, it's getting stupid.

  1. Here!  Here! On the Belgium march against food and fuel prices.  These commodities are being hiked higher and higher as we speak.  Even in our country!!!

    I left a wee note over at Lahoma's for her coming home.  I'm glad she is in good spirits too.

    Your welcome re; comments as guest editor. Guido.
    I hope you  are not having it too cold up there?
    I'm only going out to feed the birds every now and then.  Its bitterly cold here in the Lakes.

  2. Thank you again for the note on Lahoma.  She is at peace with what is happening to her and is planning for cremation and even spoke about it.  She is dealing the best she can.  Thank you for being such a sweet friend.

  3. 18,000 people would be hard to ignore ~ let's hope the government (or lack of) get the point.
