Feeling rather more like my normal self this morning, I decided to go walkabout, walking my usual running route, hoping to wake my body up to its normal self. My original plan was to go out before breakfast which is what I usually do when I run. By the time I had got myself out of bed and organised, I decided to waIt until after breakfast.
The second plan was to take some frosty morning photos. It was only when I stopped to take the first one that I realised that my phone was still sitting on the desk in study. I had been so concerned with making sure that my iPad was actually charging - it was doing that annoying thing of telling you it needed charging and then flashing up the message ‘not charging’ when connected to lightning cable! Grrr! - that I had forgotten to pick up my phone.
So much for plans! Clearly my head is not back to its normal state yet.
It was a lovely day to be out and about, bright and crisp but cold. There would have been photos but …. Less cold than it has been, however. The weather app on my phone tells me we’ve reached a high of 0° but it’s predicted to plummet again shortly and snow is forecast for this evening. We shall see!
Out in the wider world, Nicolás Maduro has been jailed in the USA but nobody seems to know what to expect to,happen next. Greenland is expressing concern that maybe this latest action will reawaken ambitions to take over their country. The United States of the World! ?
In the strange world of social media, one of the latest stars is the cat who lives in the Belgian Prime Minister’s office in Brussels.
“Maximus Textoris Pulcher was announced in August as an official resident at the Belgian prime minister’s office, Rue de la Loi 16 in central Brussels.
The grey rescue cat is now thought to have the second most popular political account on Belgian social media, with more than 142,000 followers on Instagram – second only to his master, Bart De Wever, who became Belgium’s Prime Minister in February.
The cat’s full name is a mock-grandiose title rooted in the prime minister’s love of Latin and Roman history, conveying the meaning “De Wever’s beautiful Maximus” (textoris being “of the weaver”, or De Wever).
De Wever adopted the cat, an abandoned Scottish fold, from a refuge. “I have a cat in my office, it is grey and it does not catch … mice, but I love it anyway,” he told journalists during a recent press conference.”
Okay, some politicians still feel the need to prove they are properly human. It used to be a matter of being photographed with a spouse, but nowadays, love of animals is also required.
Life goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
