Theme Park

Another wet old day. Briefly out earlier then out again later to get that lock fitted up at the daughter’s. Good job! What else is a going on? Charles Manson’s deid - who knew he was still with us? And Rodney Bewes too. And Mugabe has eventually been forced to throw the towel in. His successor, Mnangagwa, sounds like a nice guy. Elsewhere Angela Merkel is struggling to put a government together and the Brexit Bill is now reckoned to be £40bn. And a fabulous "long read" by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad about the battle for Mosul. I don’t know what the top award for journalism is, but whatever it is, this guy should get it.
