A blog mostly about my family. Though I also rant about other things, work, music, films etc.

We survived another day
My son and I are still getting on. Cooking today was different as he did not want what I was cooking so made himself some food, my food though was quite nice.
In the morning I went for a walk with Leia which she loved and it appeared to make her tired. I rested afterwards to charge my batteries and finished watching Wednesday with my son. He had fun dressing Leia in a Christmas jumper, I do not think she liked it though!
As for Wednesday, I prefer the Wednesday Addams from the films, but I did grow to like this one as well. Just not as much.

Cooking with my son
Today was another day cooking with my son. My wife and daughter have travelled to Northern Ireland to watch The Cure in concert leaving the two of us together. I know my wife is nervous about leaving the two of us together and I am hoping that her worries amount to nothing. Sadly my cooking was not up to scratch as I put too much salt in it. Oh well, here is hoping that things are better next time.

Unions (again)
The Conservatives do not like unions. Unions are about ensuring members get to work, they are not in favour of bankruptcies of employers. They are interested in a fair deal for workers and thanks to the laws imposed by the Conservatives, strike action for many industries has more of a mandate than Liz Truss did when she was elected by a few Conservative members!
A huge example of why unions are important is seen with Elon Musk. His actions to employees are disgusting and should not be allowed. I accept that he can get away with this abroad, but thanks to unions, other employers cannot act like this here. Unless they own a ferry company.

Cooking and private education
Have been cooking with my son. I order food from Gousto and on most Wednesday’s cook a meal. The rest of the family will cook a second meal most weeks, but it is getting me cooking, and I think, is improving my confidence. Having my son join me was great. It meant
that the food was prepared on time and I hope we continue to do this going forwards.
PMQs was not a major victory for either side this week. Private schools were discussed, specifically the tax breaks that they claim for being charities. They are not, they are businesses and while they may do some charitable work, they should only be able to claim back the money for any bursaries they offer. I disagree with the idea of getting rid of them, but I fail to understand why they get tax breaks which state schools do not.

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…

Matt Hancock and COVID
First of all, despite the name of the post, my son is back from Switzerland and appeared to have enjoyed himself there visiting The Hadron Collider.
Second, Matt Hancock did not win I’m A Celebrity. There has been renewed controversy over contracts given out for PPE during the COVID pandemic, but I think we should focus on how producers in the UK were ignored an how PPE was exported when we had a shortage in the UK. Jess Phillips took Matt Hancock to task on this in an interview that I should have been shared every day he was in the jungle.
