When a Debate is Not a Debate. Day 185.

Two fisherman had a very harrowing experience off the coast of Colombia when they saw a woman floating in the water. She was face up and some reports say wearing a life jacket and other reports saying she had some sort of rubber ring. The story is very confusing as some say she was in the water for eight hours and others say she was trying to kill herself so why would she have on a rubber ring. She had been missing from home for two years (not in the water all that time, of course) and told rescuers that she had escaped from domestic abuse. What a sad story, I hope she manages to find some happiness when she recovers.

The big story yesterday was the big debate – Trump v Biden. Mostly described as chaotic with the two presidential candidates acting not very presidentially and interrupting each other constantly. The moderator tried to restore some order but eventually had to shout ‘stop’ and then said ‘I hate to shout but why should I be any different from you two.’ He reminded them that they could each speak for two minutes and the other one should not interrupt when it wasn’t their turn. Biden wanted a bathroom break every thirty minutes and was mocked by the POTUS and asked what he would do if there was a crisis that needed his attention for longer. At the end of the so called debate  Google later informed the world that queries such as ‘move to Canada’ and ‘how to move to Canada’ soared in popularity following the showdown. Other searches were ‘how to apply for Canadian citizenship’, ‘relocation’ and ‘how to obtain a Canadian passport’. Yhey could of course just put both candidates on a slow boat to China and start anew.

BoJo’s dad Stanly was spotted in a newsagent’s without a mask. Someone of course took a photo and posted it for the world to see – isn’t that against the data protection act? Stanley said he had just arrived back from abroad and hadn’t yet managed to catch up on the rules. That’s ok dad, neither has your son who made them. And, by the way I think the one about wearing a mask in a shop has been in place for quite a long time. I have to admit that I’ve forgotten to don my mask a couple of times but I do know how to admit ‘oops, sorry I forgot’. Or just put one on when I’ve seen others wearing one. Nothing worse than a stupid excuse.

A London Art School took delivery of 29 tonnes of carrots today which were dumped on a forecourt and students hanging around wondered why. One suggestion was it was to help with student’s night vision. It seems though that it’s part of a fine arts exhibition to highlight the divide between town and country. Better than a few tonnes of manure I suppose. The carrots will be fed to animals when the exhibition finishes.Good night bunnies everywhere. 😴💤😴
