Petunia

Not as nice a day today as forecast as the sun was very hazy and it was quite windy, but still nice to sit out reading the paper and getting the washing dried. I walked into town once the washing was on the line, it was quite quiet. I had to take back a couple of long sleeved t-shirts I'd bought as they had sleeves half way down my hands (and I'm tall). 

I'm a bit uncomfortable with what appears to be quite severe sentences given to recent rioters (whilst still completely condemning their actions). I'm also surprised the Press haven't mentioned that the riots happened just over 3 weeks after the Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood (recklessly in my opinion) said that 'our prisons are on the point of collapse' and that 'with officers unable to act, criminals could do whatever they want, without consequences. We could see looters running amok, smashing in windows, robbing shops and setting neighbourhoods alight.'
