Gwyn, it looks as though he is throwing his dummy out of the pram. :-0

Perhaps he’s worried about the apparent friendliness between Russia and China and the possibility of attacks (or more spying ventures) on the NE corner of the USA but I hope he hasn’t forgotten about entry via the Pacific via Alaska (a short hop for the Russians) and the whole of the California coast, not forgetting Hawaii.

Also, I wonder whether he needs Greenland’s minerals or he wants to ensure they don’t fall into ‘the other side’s’ hands.

Perhaps things aren’t going well on the US domestic front - it has happened before a lot of conflicts. I can imagine the workings, ‘What can I do to take the nation’s eye off the economy?’

I wonder whether he has a child brave enough to say, ‘Come off it Dad. Let NATO do its job.’ Mine would probably ask if I was going gaga! :-S

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

It is good that it is staying lighter and there is more of a visible sunset.

At the moment, I can hear the little birds in the nests outside cheeping
as they settle down for the evening. :-D <3

A couple of the young ones come and sit on the window ledge and look in.

Hope your evening is peaceful and have a restful night of sleep.

Take gentle care
Love EOS
xx

Joy
You only need to know one answer that the others don't know and you've earned your place in the team ;-)
It's all good fun.

I'm not long back from delivering a card through someone's door.
It was light enough to see where I was going, even though it was nearly 5 o'clock.
The days are getting longer :-D

Afternoon all. :-D <3

Barb, someone must have locked the door. ;-)

I did a quick whirl in the shower after dancing then went to a quiz - bleddy hell, I was worse than useless but I will be there next time as I promised the two women who kindly put up with me. :-D

It was not very light but it was very misty when I came back a short while ago and I took the wrong turning so put the satnav on to get home. Although it’s not far from me, it is a place I have only visited twice in my life.

I hope you have all had a great day. :-D <3

A nap is always good, Barb ;-)

Even Joy might need one after all that dancing!


Someone didn't get what they wanted, now look :-0 :-|

Morning all :-) <3

It's brighter than yesterday here but still damp :-(

Is the dentist visit for your broken tooth Belle?

Enjoy the dancing Joy.

I can't believe that one man can disrupt the world in only one year. What will he do in the next three years? :-S :-0 :-(

Morning Gwyn :-D <3

Belle, I hope it’s only for a check-up but it’s worth looking after the gnashers :-D :-D

Gwyn, I think blondie may be trying to focus people’s minds on issues other than China? :-(

Morning Joy, Belle and everyone :-) <3

Hoping the gloomy day will brighten here.
No rain though, so that's something.

A this and that day doing lots of little jobs that keep getting put off.

Hope your dentist visit is not too painful, Belle <3

Tomorrow is Trump's anniversary of being inaugerated.
I wonder what gems he will come up with to celebrate? :-0 :-0 :-|
