It’s such horrible weather here today! Haven’t voted yet but I’ll go when DH gets home from work. I’ll be yellow. Closest to my personal views atm, although I have voted labour in the past and might again, I won’t for this present set up. I’m in a safe labour seat so I can vote to make my feelings known and without worrying about the tories. Honestly, with so many senior Tory grandees advising people not to vote for Johnson it’s a fairly depressing situation. I am also depressed by how dirty and untruthful politics is nowadays. It’s always had an element of that but with social media there’s a race to the bottom these days, morally! My Facebook feed is a depressing picture of people reposting whatever memes suit their views. Lots of cheap shots which hardly enhance the quality of debate or scrutiny on any party
. If people can’t be critical of their information sources and less divisive and reactive about others’ views, I worry that we’ll never get (or deserve) good government again.
We’re going on a Bear Hunt was excellent - a puppet show, which I wasn’t expecting, but completely brilliant! Kids were transfixed... all was going very well till the puppeteers ran through the audience with the bear puppet and went right up to DS and terrified him (we were on an aisle row). I really think they should warn people if that might happen, we wouldn’t have sat there. He was in bits and had a bit of a meltdown afterwards in the bustle of everyone leaving the auditorium. (And DD cries, so I did indeed have two upset children - but at least the performance had finished!). He peeked up a bit with pizza afterwards but was (and still is) very on edge. I am knackered.
