A Quiet sad corner

[smashedinductionhob]

That's all. Pop over and sit down quietly if you like.

Hope you don't mind me stealing your point to start a thread round here?
I need to spend some time doing things that make me feel better tonight

Idea coined by Bread. I have started the thread. Let's laugh together on it all too.

I felt desperately said and continued to do so until the other day. Then I began to pretend that I was a historian looking back and trying to piece together events, which helped. Then, it's schadenfreude, I know, but I began to note all the things going wrong for May and her three stooges.

I'm glad to find a space where I can simply be sad in good company. Talking about it IRL seems to serve only to make me furious all over again. Going to find a quiet corner and have a little cry

and
I felt that my post looked like a stealth boast in a way and it was also a bit insensitive in the sense that i was complaining about loss of a previliedge that millions here don't have time to think about. Thankfully we have enough to eat and clothe our children. Some don't even have that.

I think this thread is about looking the loss in the face.

And also on lifting the head to look forward

Valentine I think we all sympathised about the frustrations you are experiencing.

We need more good people making money and please feel you can ask for support

Radio 4 just now.

"A moment of bereavement".

I've been trying to do that too peregrina

Valentine I thought your post was fine. The harsh reality is that this will affect us all in many ways. Those losses of opportunity are all valid.

No wrong with your post valentine

nothing wrong

Thanks for the kind words.

even though DH says there's no point
Think a lot of them say that. I remember DH who is in my kitchen right now saying that 35 years ago about an anti apartheid march I went on.

I like that smashed

I really hope the march is bloody huge. I'll be there - hopefully so will DD2. Most of the people in my office are coming. It's a nonsense to suggest it won't achieve anything. If nothing else, it will remind May and co how many people they do not - and will never - speak for. They will never admit it, but if, say, 50,000 to a 100,000 people make the effort to come out, it will send an important and very public well timed message.

it will send an important and very public well timed message sure it will Figment.

Marches are political and spiritual nutrition for the marchers. It also helps us to know that so many of us are dong this globally. US resistance to Trump were really helped by seeing the Women's marches. I hope that BME and 3million British, felt the solidarity today, with the Stand up to racism march. Nice music anyway.

I think it's just nice to get fresh air, a walk, and be with some nice people, even if or if not they get publicity. But with t'internet, they do anyway.

Weather forecast for next weekend looks good

Yes-nutrition.

Can take many forms, marching is a good one

I remember DH who is in my kitchen right now saying that 35 years ago about an anti apartheid march I went on.

Indeed. My first demo was against apartheid. Who thought we would see that go, even though South Africa is a long way from perfect still? Especially to see it go without the predicted blood bath.

My next major cause was against Cruise missiles - with visits to Greenham Common. Cruise missiles are gone and the Greenham airbase is now a business park with a Peace garden where the Woman's camp was.

Other causes I have been less successful with. I didn't go on the anti-Iraq war demo - I don't think I was able to for some reason, but was there in spirit. The results of the War so that people were right to protest. No plan for post war reconstruction.

Hmm, no plan for Brexit, but this will go well, because Theresa May says it will.

Good morning,

Woman, your posts link us to a line of predecessors. They make me feel stronger.

Coffee and the papers?

Coffee and the papers sounds good!

Eva Wiseman has a truly original writing style.

We are very different.

I like looking inside such a different head.

I'm going to read some p g Wodehouse or georgette heyer

Saw an old episode of the thick of it yesterday...such an simpler time!

Heyer is the best comfort read.

I have spent today immersed in some YA books of my youth. Alanna, the woman who rides like a man, is a kickass heroine.
