Elon Musk and free speech


Elon Musk has accused Apple of being against free speech. Elon Musk, the man who has banned people from Twitter due to them expressing their rights to free speech, is saying that others are against free speech.  Hmm…

The Large Hadron Collider


My son has travelled to Switzerland to see this. Sadly he has decided to engage in radio silence and is not communicating with us about how he is. Oh well…

CPR


Yesterday was eventful at work. I saved a life. I know I have done so in my job before but to do so with CPR is different. It was the first time that I have done CPR in over 20 years, but it worked! 

When I did it in the past, despite doing it countless times, only one person made it, and they died soon after. I am hoping, for the persons sake that they do better.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

 


We watched this last night. My wife originally planned to join us but did not feel up to it. A good film, but I am not sure that it is the best plot wise as there were a few minor issues.  However it is a film I am looking forwards to watching again when my wife feels up to it.

My daughter was not happy that I had walked past a lady who collapsed on the way to the film, but they had family with them and she was breathing. I did check that an ambulance had been called, it had not and they called after I asked, but she was breathing when we left.

PMQs during Anti-Bullying Week


Normally when Angela Rayner is asking questions on behalf of the opposition she is devastating. In fact, I was looking forwards to today and when Dominic Raab referred himself to be investigated for bullying I thought that she had an open goal. But faced with it, she did not make the easy kill and Dominic Raab managed to hold her off

The SNP fared better, but I did not get to listen to the rest of PMQs today as my daughter had friends round. I may get time to listen to the rest of it tomorrow.

Both my mother and mother-in-law rang me to get the children to talk to them, both on my way back to the house. I cannot force the children to talk to them and I can only imagine how painful it is for them. We did have a bit of an idea when last week, one gave us the silent treatment, my wife for most of it and me for a bit. We did try to talk about it today, but other than being told that we were over half the reason for the stress that child faced, we were not told how. We both hope to find out later this week.

Holidate

The family splits appear to be healing. It is too early to say this for certain, but things appear to be improving. We are not where we want to be, but we are in a better place than this time last week when the silence was upon us.


In fact, we watched Holidate as a family. My wife and I had forgotten that we watched this last year but quickly realised that we had. And we still enjoyed it. Both children watched most of it this time. I guess, when it comes to a RomCom, the plot, most of the time is similar, and here, the core of the plot was. But while the destination was predictable, the journey there was fun to watch. Not sure that I would go out of my way to watch it for a third time, but I would be happy to watch it again if it was on TV.
