 The good news is that drinking water and not drinking alcohol has lost me the six anna half (not ten) pounds/ 3 kilos I put on in January. My response to 47's threats to my country were to buy Canadian as much as possible (may have to find a new source of soy milk, or stop drinking it altogether: its estrogen properties don't seem to work anymore) and get back to my pre-op low. So: 6.5 down, 22 to go.

The bad news of course is everything else, that makes me not want to read news pages anymore. Þæs ofēreode, þisses swā mæg.

I open up the Google news app (why), see three headlines on my phone screen, scream, and close it again. Any details at all sink me into a bad depression.

Pretty much this.

Good for you losing those kilos, and good for you buying Canadian.
As to the news, here's hoping Deor's right on this one.

Well, in the long run, Deor is always right, but we're here in the short run.

The Don doesn't read literature. Or much at all, I fancy.

No, Fox news is all he can manage.

Half-listening for the sound of his name.
