How not to think about the referendum.

Woke feeling shaky and shocked all over again. Went for a lovely morning walk which settled my physiology down. But then there's the news about Labour discord. The last thing we need right now.
But for the next 10 working days I'm in Welsh school 9-3 every day so that should help. Though by the end of it my ability to discuss politics in Welsh may be improved.

Disappointed in the result but what worries me as well, is the amount of bigotry being promoted among younger children. According to TV clips and FB posts, younger children are already blaming the homogenous group of 60+ for anything that goes wrong as a result, regardless of the fact that many over 60s voted remain and many younger people didn't vote. I sat in the hairdressers last week listening to a discussion between 2 staff both under 30 and one with a degree and NEITHER of them had even registered to vote. NB with one exception, I am really gutted for the friends and others whose jobs were part of the huge Brussels machine.

I love that Pooh and Piglet cartoon - will definitely be passing it on!

Just what I'm doing Shortlegs! Almost anything to blot out all the furore.
To be followed by a good blast of housecleaning I think!

I was planning our next holiday but will have to put it on hold until the pound will be worth anywhere near where it was -and that wont be soon. This disasterendum impinges no matter what I want to do.

Went for a lovely long walk this morning, splashing through all the puddles left by ysterday's rain. I noted how high the brook was and, with more rain forecast for this afternoon, I am confidently awaiting the automatic flood warning from the Environment Agency.

Meanwhile I will continue to keep nipping out to inspect the grass to see if there is any chance of cutting it before the rain returns

Rearranging my sock drawer always does it for me.

Planted up my garden pots and containers
Saw the DGD

I bought some chorizo and was thinking of making Spanish chicken tomorrow for dinner

Thinks - 'Must take the chicken out of the freezer'

I worried about blankets but only Teetime replied. Some people are worried about what Marine le Pen says. I've never given a toss for any of her speeches. I am drinking a good French wine . Had chorizo in my chicken meal. Wrote to a friend in Australia on my Apple ipad about a holiday in the Mekong and discussed applying for Chinese visas. Our friends were planning their visit to India and my daughter has just sent a text from China. The world is a much bigger place than Europe .

After my morning walk, I stopped to discuss how how high the grass round the fields is growing with a passing dog walker. The rest of the day has been spent dashing out

I cropped all my broad beans yesterday but I have discovered a broad bean that can be planted now and cropped Sep/Oct so today was spent clearing out the bed, manuring it again and planting for, hopefully, the second crops of broad beans I should get in the Autumn.

I meant to make some curtains but they are losing out to episodic gardening.

We have been out all morning serving coffee in the local Church centre, and the weather was humid but fine, great. Come the time for home, and the sky went dark, thunder rumbling in the distance, and now it's raining, so I shall be putting up my swollen feet and reading snoozing away the afternoon, and not thinking about yesterday.

I am heartily sick of it already and it has hardly begun. I will be watching the football, Wimbledon and then Rio- the world will pass me by without me noticing.

Can always count on Poo n Piglet to raise a

I've been out to buy new loo seat as the bathroom one is cracked. Oh the excitement !Later I will be doing some jigsaw puzzle.

There was no other news in Times !!

Distracting myself by listening to the England/Australia rugby test. Shame it's not on TV. Takes me back to the time before we had TV in Scotland and my dad always listened to rugby on the radio.Dark ages indeed!

Wine and Magnums sounds good to me, and I could join Pooh and Piglet. Thanks

DT today the first 23 pages had to be skipped.

Life will go on. I am going to be trying to work out how to stay dry at GS's school summer fair this afternoon. He is in the mini Euro football tournament playing for Wales! DH bought a paper this morning (he usually gets his news online). I shall not be reading it.

Love that NandG!

This is how I will be moving forward !!

Riverwalk why not? The refugees are still fleeing Syria and Africa for Europe, there is still a presidential campaign in the USA, Wimbledon is about to start and Taylor Swift is going out with Tom Hidleston (whoever they may be)

They will all be going up

I turned over the first 20 pages or so to get to the real news.

That made me as there can be no other news!

A Channel 4 reporter yesterday said something like, you know it's a big day when the second item of news is the Prime Minister has resigned!

I'm going to do a bit of housework as distraction therapy.

I hit the(French) white wine yesterday evening, and will probably have some more later. Will do dome sewing on my (Swiss) sewing machine and use my (German) vacuum cleaner to clean round. I may pop out in my (Italian) car down to the (German) supermarket, before turning only (French) electricity. May have some (Italian) pasta and cheese later.

I have found Magnums quite therapeutic.
And Wimbledon starts next week, so we can worry about Andy/the rain.
