Very bad news - and some good in blackpropaganda

As I write news has broken that there have been two explosions at Brussels Airport, and one on the metro in the city. No doubt some kind of action was expected, but it shows how difficult it is to predict where and when.
The airport is a hub for European flights so the knock-on effect will be enormous affecting many more people than those there - and you think of those dead and injured. A depressing time.

Of course, such breaking news is just what a breakfast programme can respond to (sorry if I sound cynical) - and this push to be first with information - however inaccurate - makes me turn off and go to another station - so classical music is playing in the background.

On the brighter front, yesterday SW.. decided to help me put together the electroic lawn mower I bought in December - I could not work out how the diagrams corresponded with the bits - but we did it is twenty minutes - and it worked. There was some urgency since after a week of dry weather it will rain in the next couple of days. So - the front lawn is done - and since there is more moss and clover than grass it has the look of a close cropped meadow than Wimbledon grass!!. Still to do the back garden - but want to give the mower a rest - I miss my petrol mower which rusted away - but this should do the job.

Now waiting for the delivery men to bring a new sofa - more space for SW.. to fall asleep while watching tv!!!

And let’s have some kind of smile
