I dragged out DH for a walk and a pint, got a bit too chilly in the beer garden at the end.

The pub doesn't to decaf tea to the dismay of another customer.

Sunny here in north Wales but I'm sure it won't last. It is a Bank Holiday after all.

Probably the last public holiday under a Labour Welsh government. The man from Ynys Mon may well be First Minister within a week or so.

As long as it is not the one who lives in Bath, that is fine by me!

It had to happpen one day. A single party can't be in power for ever.

Up late because tomorrow we fly to Rome. A nervous traveller.

I'm going to bed now.

Enjoy Rome @placemats. I’m very envious. It’s one of those places I’ve wanted to go to but never made it.

TemperanceWest · 05/05/2026 08:16

Have a lovely time @placemats !

Watch out for smart talkers and pick pockets and don't let anyone put anything on your wrist.

Have a wonderful time.

FT exclusive:

US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent had a fierce row with UK chancellor Rachel Reeves in Washington last month over her outspoken criticism of the Iran war, according to people familiar with the matter

https://archive.ph/oaTCE

For once a positive story about Reeves

OP posts:
PickAChew · 05/05/2026 09:09

Reeves responded angrily by telling Bessent she did not work for him and disliked how he had spoken to her.

Go Rachel!

I need this too lol - I noticed I’m starting/including many of my posts on another thread to say ‘I have no words’ - I should probably stick to that tbh instead of actively adding some in there!

Ooh - enjoy - I’ve heard nothing but good things about Rome, though not been myself.

Hope the flight is good and the break amazing x

Enjoy Rome @placemats . Gelato is compulsory.

BIossomtoes · 05/05/2026 09:57

Bon voyage @placemats. Yes, gelato is absolutely compulsory, tiramisu is advisable too.

For everyone in Wales: it is so tight! The fifth and sixth seats will be a knife edge.
