Oh Dear

Is this a form of nepotism or just plain corruption? I have no say in American politics but I fear the way their country makes its choices of who leads them when this sort of thing goes on.

In other news, why does Alan Green have to commentate on England games? He never enjoys them and moans the whole time he is on. It's as bad as sitting next to one of those people at the match who berates the manager, the players and the tactics even when the team wins. OK, 5 - 1 was a flattering scoreline but at the end of the qualifying who cares if England were poor in October. The Kazakhstan team played gamely until about 75 minutes and then ran out of steam. England are top of the group and have to toddle off to Belarus for Wednesday. See how they do there.

Meanwhile to the shops today via a furniture store to look at a new sofa and chair for the parents. Didn't see anything we liked so Dalton Park beckoned. Mam got new shoes and a electric whizzy thing to froth hot milk for cappuccino style drinks. I got a new casserole and some rosemary. We had very nice pork sandwiches for lunch which have disagreed with me ever since. Home in time for football. As usual watched a bit of the racing and picked out the winner of the first race at 15/2 for a change. My other system was responsible instead of my usual 8/1 shot tactics. My other secret is horses with Red in their name. This time it was Red Admiral. This trick goes back to the 70s when Red Alligator won the Grand National. If I put actual money on them I might come out ahead.

Columbus Day tomorrow I see and in honour of that the boring old term of the weekend is family boat. This was a boat used in pioneer times by a family emigrating down rivers like the Ohio and Mississippi. Just like in How the West Was Won then with James Stewart and Carole Baker. I saw that at the pictures years ago.
