I spoke too soon about Swine Flu. Just to prove me wrong, not only has it reached York and Humber but it has reached the district that we live in. My Mistress is suggesting that she is staying in the house and not letting anyone else in, even if they think they live here. Somehow I don\u2019t think the plan will work. She would at the very least need the Tesco\u2019s delivery people to bring her food.<\/p>\n
Shadow is having a limitless bouncing day. She discovered the wonders of chasing her own tail earlier this week and her enthusiasm knows no bounds. What is great is the times she chases it too quickly and then falls over in the process. I can sit and watch her for hours. I save tail chasing for those very special occasions when I can muster enough energy to make it worth while. When you get to my age, it\u2019s enough just to know you can do it, without having to prove it all the time.<\/p>\n
From the people I spoke to about the European elections this week, I found it depressing how few people really had any idea what it was all about and how it might affect them. There is a general misconception that we run ourselves and it doesn\u2019t really matter. Do people really not care about the shape of margarine containers and whether we can call a cheese made in England \u2018brie\u2019? It\u2019s one of these things that people don\u2019t bother and then discover too late that the official language has been changed to Portugese and we can\u2019t even communicate in our own country. You mock, but it could happen. I realise French or German would be more likely but it wouldn\u2019t be so much fun.<\/p>\n
