Post 503. MEANDERING ON.

WHILE IT ALL HAPPENS

AROUND US.
The Middle East is in chaos. Religious zealots are now openly warring with each other. The Americans whose meddling - slavishly supported by our lapdog lot - is largely responsible for it all, is finally making futile noises. Meanwhile, that puerile prick Putin still attacks formerly neutral neighbour Ukraine, that duplicitous dickhead Trump is quite likely to become the US President again, and we have an unelected Foreign Secretary who disappears at the drop of a bollock..
It beggars belief. 
Mo and I meander on. Mo is spending more walking time with a three wheeled frame (her right knee gives her hell) and I am constantly dealing with excreta leakage: not a nice subject, the latter, but colon cancer is not a nice topic. Yesterday, for the first time since I was told I had it, I looked on line for information about the cancer. Seems that, statistically, I may have a year or so left. I have a MRI scan next Thursday to which I am not looking forward. And that's that..
Most of the time I count myself lucky. I have a loving wife and family, a few good friends, some happy and some sad memories, and the firm belief that I  have seen the best of this country.
If I'm still here I'll not vote at another election, and I fear for our descendants, stuck with the rubbish currently on display. But I guess they'll manage even if, sadly, Powell was right.
Regret the downbeat tone of this post, my dears.

Put it down to my condition.
Be back in more cheerful mode next time..
