Did you eat pancakes and more importantly, did you make pancakes? I did neither and I do love a good homemade pancake, maybe I’ll treat myself at the weekend. My daughter Elena invited me over for pancake elevenses, lovely Alice was planning on making a healthy version of the Shrove Tuesday treat. Sod’s law said that I already had an invite this morning and I had a great couple of hours out shopping with daughter Sam. We went to have a look around The Range at Turbary Retail Park. Hadn’t been there for a long, long time and it seemed much better organised than previously. You wouldn’t have known we were in lockdown and we couldn’t work out why they were open and selling everything and anything when other retailers can’t. Life in lockdown is a complete mystery to yours truly.
A wealthy North Carolina Financier and Trump supporter donated $2 million to a small Texas organisation called ‘True the Vote’ who said they could prove there had been voter fraud during the US elections. Two weeks later the financier demanded his money back saying their claims were nothing more than baloney. He has now filed a lawsuit against True the Vote. The 2020 election saga looks like rumbling on for a long time yet.
The Megxit saga is another one that is rumbling on. They won their case against the Daily Mail, that’s ok I really didn’t care one way or another. They announced that they are expecting a second child and released a corny photo of the two lying under a tree with Harry’s bare feet the main feature and Miss Meghan holding her bump in a typical Hollywood pose. As they are against media harassment and just want to live a private life they have agreed to do an Oprah interview. That’s definitely private. It’s only 90 minutes though. I think I would begin to lose the will to live after the first fifteen. They are sooooo boring.
In Hungary, just outside of Budapest, there is a supermarket that seems to be run by a romantic. In the run up to Valentine’s Day they decided to encourage single shoppers to find a partner in their store. They had two piles of baskets, one pink and one blue. The idea was that if singles were looking for a female partner they carried a pink basket, if their choice was a male partner they went for the blue one. Customers could eye up the ‘stock’ as they shopped. They didn’t let on as to how many people were successful.
Have you been feeling the cold, don’t worry, there’s a heatwave just around the corner. By the weekend the temperature is expected to rise, the sun will put its hat on and shine and we will all forget that we’ve just had some of the coldest weather in a long time. I can’t wait to get out and take a leisurely stroll to the beach. Let’s not forget that we’re still in lockdown though. And people, let’s be careful out there.💤😴💤
