Just waiting.

Talks between Frost and Barnier still unresolved issues. There are rumours but 'all without evidence' (the new in phrase on BBC news tonight) that the UK is waivering.

Less that two months to go.

And there is the small matter of what happens in the US than might influence events.

Local Government bodies are currently setting budgets to cover them until March 2022
wish them luck

Only heat in the house at the time - so guess where the cats had placed themselves?! Grin

Those heaters won't need to be used again Wink

Thanks for the new thread.

Pennsylvania possibly declaring today (well Friday morning UK time).

I'm so tired it isn't even funny.

Half my late husband's family are rabid Trump supporters.

FatCatThinCat · 05/11/2020 19:44

Pmk to follow the madness.

Meuniere · 05/11/2020 19:46

PMK.

I’m afraid I’m refusing to follow the US elections. Too stressful.

Plonking with a placemark here.
Then off to do some planking with yoga.

You'd think that Brexit, Johnson and the Conservative shenanigans of the past year would have left me permanently cynical.

Yet, here I am, hoping for a Biden win.

borntobequiet · 05/11/2020 19:49

PMK once again. Managed to distract myself today with a moderately arduous walk that involved inconvenient waterfalls over the path. Worked a treat. Thanks Red & all.

Zixxy · 05/11/2020 19:52

Wiould a Biden win change the Brexit No Deal strategy I wonder?

GeistohneGrenzen · 05/11/2020 19:53

PMK
RTB, you are mega-busy on our behalf today, thank you for all your efforts on 2 fronts.
(RTB is keeping us right on the Trump threads too, if you're wondering).

Jason118 · 05/11/2020 20:17

Sterling effort!

Whenwillow · 05/11/2020 20:24

Thank you so much

Shrillharridan · 05/11/2020 20:25

Weary pmk

AuldAlliance · 05/11/2020 20:33

Weary and jaded PMK, with a cat trying to look as thought she has nothing at all to with a (hideous) soft toy belonging to the neighbours' kids.

Thanks to all who have enough stamina to keep the threads going.

Thank you Red.

CNN reporting the Pennsylvanian Secretary of State has a press conference scheduled for the next hour (does that mean in an hour’s time or some time in the next hour?)

HoldMyLobster · 05/11/2020 21:09

Here to add cat photos if needed.

0.2% between Trump and Biden in Georgia with 99% of the vote counted.

I’m really intrigued by the ‘Toilet Frogs’ article in that copy of Fortean Times. My friend once inexplicably had a frog in an upstairs toilet.

colouringindoors · 05/11/2020 21:25

hello!

Peregrina · 05/11/2020 21:35

I missed Johnson's press conference. Did he say anything of note?

Evenstar · 05/11/2020 21:45

@FlouncingBabooshka bizarrely my father who lived in rural Lincolnshire once had a bright yellow frog 🐸 in his toilet, maybe it’s more common than we think!

FlouncingBabooshka · 05/11/2020 21:52

@Evenstar, my friend is in Leicestershire. Maybe it’s a midlands phenomenon?

Sadly, she did not initially recognise it as a frog and just assumed something less unexpected was stubbornly refusing to flush. As did her entire family. They continued to use the toilet for a whole day before realising and mounting a rescue operation.

Poor frog...
