Friday 5th July 2024

 


Well she's back. Treacle, nemesis of Gingernut had been missing for about three weeks. Not properly missing, I think her family had been away, presumably then she was in a cattery or somewhere. Anyway suddenly she reappeared on Wednesday but not her usual routine, she was more distant and didn't stay in our garden long. We didn't see her yesterday but today she's back on her perch on our windowsill. Even though she can be a pest when trying to get outside (she runs in), we missed her a lot. I think she's put weight on and seems calmer. Gingernut hasn't noticed her yet.

I suppose I'd better mention the election result. The exit poll shown last night was quite accurate. As I write there's one seat left to declare, Scotland's Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire, which usually is SNP, but looks like it might be Liberal Democrat,  but Labour have won a landslide win overall. Though oddly only because Reform combatted with Conservative and split the centre right vote. Labours actual voting percentage is only 33.7%, only up a couple of points from the last election in 2019, but enough to gain them 211 seats. A very interesting time.
