Bugger. The little box which feeds the modem (no idea what it's called) has fallen off the wall and broken the very thin fibre cable. No internet as a result (apart from 4G+).
After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision.
A happy Schuman Day indeed.

I love cool mornings like this, when I can enjoy my tea and granola on the terrace.
3/3 voting for Reform or the Tories. Blair's betrayal of the thirst for real change led me to leave Labour and nothing has improved since. I also think the sense of being let down, and voting changing nothing, had a big impact on Brexit.
2/3 Nothing changed and that led to disillusionment with politics in general, and the Labour Party in particular. Which brings us to the current state of the UK, where a party even more scary and removed from ordinary voters might actually take control. I can't, for the life of me, understand people
How many of us feel in a cold rage today? Mine is directed at Farage & this comment on yesterday's Guardian piece by John Crace is spot on. The writer uses a pseudonym or I would credit them but, to whomever he or she is, I say bravo.
1/3 I think this is the first time I have read in print what I have believed for decades. I remember feeling hugely let down following Labour's landslide victory in 1997. Things could have been so different if Blair hadn't been a Thatcherite at heart. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Clouds over the mountains above Grotti just now.
We all knew that Blair was a Thatcherite. That he stuck to her philosophy after his huge '97 win is the main reason people are disillusioned with politics (and helped lead to Brexit). Aditya is correct that Labour is still stuck in the same, misguided, mindset.

Once again Starmer's ridiculous red lines rear their head. Like so many things, he just doesn't get it. Why should the EU make a special case of the UK; especially after we behaved so badly?
