MPs and aliens

I emailed our MP recently asking him to confirm his position regarding Keir Starmer's leadership. (I want him to stay.) His answer gave absolutely nothing away. He would not commit. All the standard blurb about what's best for the party and the country, blah blah, blah. Pah!

Remember the woman in church who gave us a 'word' to look out for news of aliens this week? This was posted by the White House yesterday.

Obviously they're talking about immigrants. Maybe that's what she was getting at.

I've just sent my monthly article to the editor. I'm early because I'm getting political and I want his approval, in case I need to moderate it or write a different one. I'm only pointing out that the party that bangs on about Christian values chooses to ignore those values when it comes to how we treat aliens/ immigrants. He can decide if I'm over-stepping my place as the writer of living life as a Christian.

Off to the library now. Running out of books to read. Of course I have a huge TBR pile but, well, you know.

I forgot to take a bag so told myself I would take out three books maximum. I brought home four, large, hardbacks, that I had to carry back to the car via the garden shop to get pet-friendly slug protection for plants.

Then before coming home I popped into Saint Hugo Bakery to buy a cake recommended by Elder Son as the best pastry he'd ever had. It has a strange name I can't pronounce.

From a website:

The kouign-amann is pronounced “queen a-mahn” and is from Brittany, France. The name comes from the Breton language words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann).

I was disappointed. It wasn't as I anticipated: layers of sweet, caramelised pastry, but rather a doughy centre with a sweet topping.

Have now discussed this with Elder Son and you would think we were talking about different pastries. Maybe the baker had an off day.

The editor is very happy to publish my 'excellent' article. I'm glad.
