I suppose I'm woke. 🏳️‍🌈
Totally disillusioned by modern politics from all ends of the spectrum
Just seen a video on Instagram by the Staffordshire Patriots on their first patrol
At the end they say a prayer asking God to look after their leaders and they all finish with Amen
By the looks of them all the only time they would go to church is if it closes and becomes a 'spoons

Yesterday, in Newcastle under Lyme they had a flag raising ceremony outside the council offices
Reform had said this was needed to show our pride and identity even though there was a union flag already there
There was a huge turnout

In Newcastle under Lyme, Reform were elected on a promise to cut waste and reduce spending so it's nice to see Johnathan Gullis thinks this is a good way to spend money

This sums up my mood today,
Let's hope I can make it to the end

My sister in law has shared a post on Facebook
It's extremely racist
The person who did the original post has also posted lots of homophobic comments
My husband is really struggling with it
Is it time to cut her out of our lives?

Well it's the hottest day of the year so far and my neighbours have just lit a firepit
Smoke now blowing in my house
Bastard's

In the town close to where I live a huge fire destroyed an empty grade 2 listed building, it had been a landmark in the town and had stood for 170 years but been derelict for as long as I can remember
Comments on socials last night " more flats for boat people"

Sunset over Puerto Del Carmen in Lanzarote

Standing in a queue to get into Lanzarote as they have started to use the new EU entry-exit system and we chatted to a lovely couple She was talking about what they were going to do on holiday and he just moaned about the queue
"Well you voted for it" she said
He went quite then blamed Starmer

If anyone of those Brexit fuckwits who thought that our future outside of the EU was going to be golden as we would shackle ourselves to the arse-end of the US could they please look at what's going on with Trump and try to convince everyone that it's still a good plan

Today I turned 57, I've now reached the age my dad was when he died of a heart attack
If I make it to new year's eve I'll have matched him exactly in years and days
If I wake up on new year's day I'll have beaten him
It's such a strange feeling of a need to beat him

Trip out to Playa Blanca in Lanzarote today.
Stumbled across this abandoned hotel out in the middle of nowhere overlooking the sea
The homeless have taken over some of the rooms of this vast building

So during the local elections, Reform said they would fight to keep the Staffordshire Moorlands part of Staffordshire County council and not merge with Stoke on Trent.
What a surprise, they have said they aren't against it now
That's two promises broken already

I'm currently on holiday and I have been phoning my mum's care to check on her
Today they asked if I would like to speak to her
Me "Hi mum I hope everything is ok I'm on holiday so I'll see you soon"
Mum "You bastard when I get my hands on you I'll rip out your eyes & shove them up your shitty arse"

Today I had my blood pressure review
It's crept up to 131/87
I need to make lifestyle changes apparently
So I walk 3 miles every lunchtime, I run 3 miles at the gym 4 times a week, eat loads of fruit and veg and I have 2 glasses of wine twice a week
I need to cut out the binge drinking apparently

Found this photo of my mum and my late father when they were courting
It upset me a bit as it was two people with their whole life's ahead of them but 27 years later my dad was dead and my mum no longer knows who anyone is because of Alzheimer's
Such a cruel disease robbed her of these memories

I had a letter today from Reform asking for my vote on 1st May.
Firstly my name was spelt wrong and secondly it's arrived a day late.
Oh well I suppose it's the thought that counts

Today I had 2 packs of incontinence pants delivered for my 81 year old mum.
They were left behind the bins by the side of my house.
They were delivered at 16:00 and I get home at 17:00 to find the bins moved and pants gone.
I hope whoever stole them gets some use from them

Yesterday my 81 year old mum received a tax bill for £1538.
Due, apparently, to the freezing of the personal allowance under the conservatives.

Well last week I had to make the decision to put my mum into a care home
A UTI over Christmas accelerated her dementia and left her unable to walk
One day we were shopping and walking around a park feeding ducks, 2 days later she was in hospital and been there ever since
How quickly life can change

Went to visit my mum in hospital today, she's 81.
A lovely lady in the bed opposite started to chat with me and then said it was nice I have come to visit my sister.
"Do I look that old?" I asked .
She didn't respond.
Don't you just love them
