I have been listening to the News Agents and some of what President Pee Pee (not that this matters anymore) has been saying, along with how many lies have been taken up by so many.
I know that in the build up to today, many people have tried to work out what Donald Trump is going to do, but one journalist summed it up best. The bottom line is that Trump will do what he thinks is best for him, and that will also depend on who spoke to him last about an issue, so long as he likes them.
Anyway, there is a lot of left wing anger about him including with this video...
I forgot to post about seeing my mother yesterday. My wife had a school reunion to attend in London, and also had to meet friends back in Colchester later in the day.
As we were to travel to London, we took the children with us. Sadly, due to roadworks, we were not able to spend as much time with her as I would have wanted and we were late to meet up for the reunion. It was good to meet the friends of my wife. I get on with the other husbands, and her friends as well.
Afterwards, we froze a bit on the way up. I did not get a chance to charge my car and we had to wait while the car charged. My son wanted to leave before it had a decent amount of charge, which meant that I could not use the heater, which meant we were very cold on the way up.
But it was good to see my Mum, and one of my cousins who was looking after her. It has been too long since I saw my cousin. It was interesting seeing my mother trying to rest by watching Trump on the TV, but her anger must have got her blood pressure into the normal range!
On getting back, I did get to watch the Arsenal match. But while I thought we were going to lose before the match, I was annoyed that we gave away a two goal lead.
When it comes to watching this, I have not watched the original, so cannot compare this film to it. Overall, I liked the film, but it had some glaring errors. One was the age of the character of the main character, Heather Miller who should have been close to 40 in age, but appeared to be in her 20's instead. There are some other issues, but I cannot really discuss them without giving away a lot of the plot. But despite these huge errors, I liked the film. However, I doubt that I will watch it again.
It was a disgrace. Arsenal drew this weekend and we should have won. While we lost a goal thanks to a penalty which should not have been given. To be fair, when I saw it in real time, I though that the decision was a penalty, but we have VAR for a reason and the decision should have gone our way.
I have given up on the idea of Arsenal winning the title, but I would like Arsenal to finish in second place if we do not win a trophy.
When it comes to the family, we took our Christmas decorations down today. My daughter and I also went for a dog walk today. She does not do this that often and considering that she will be leaving next month, I should treasure walks like this more.
I think that Jess Phillips is amazing. I love the way she communicates, I love her honesty and I love the way that she stands up against intimidation and injustice.
Musk has been honest in what he wants. He wants Starmer to be out of office. He has managed to weaponise Twitter (sorry, X) and a lot of people now hate Starmer and probably will not vote Labour again in the next election, unless Labour can make the change they have promised, and more importantly, show the benefits of the changes.
Yesterday was a busy day. We went down to see my mother for her birthday l which meant we also got to see my youngest brother and his partner as well. The older of my two brothers has communicated with me on WhatsApp but has not spoken to me in a while, which is better that what has happened with my Mum as he has not spoken to her in ages.
My Mother did ask me to get my brother to speak to her, but gave up when I told her not to keep annoying him. She then asked my wife to get him to speak to her, but my wife explained why she could not do so. But is was a nice get together.
Later, when back at home I went out to watch Nosferatu. I only knew it was a film about a vampire. I do like watching films knowing little about them, but I should have learned before that this was a remake of a film based on the book Dracula, which explained the many similarities to the film (I have read the book decades ago and cannot remember all its details to compare).
It was shot very well, the plot essentially is the same as Dracula, but there are some differences. When comparing this to the film from 1992, there are some bits which are better, and some which are not. In fact, I would find it hard to pick which film I would rather see.
It was interesting that many of the people who went to watch it met a stereotype, which I do not meet, well, to look at anyway. I had asked the rest of my family if they wanted to watch it and they declined. That was just as well as when I booked my seat, there were just a few left and if they came, we would have been sitting in different parts of the screen, or would have been right at the front. And not meeting the stereotype, we would have stuck out like sore thumbs! I know my wife would not have liked it as much as I did. My kids may like it in years to come, but again, I doubt that this is a film for them.
