I can not work out why there are some days when I can’t get the blog up and running...it seems quirky rather than anything else..but in this weird period that is just normal. We are fast changing our minds what normal means.. ...normal seems something we will not get again because apart from everything else we are reminded this morning that at the end of the year we are going to leave the EU. Help! Too many changes are not good for us old people. Or anyone else come to that. I had forgotten I admit that Brexit is going to happen in the middle of a pandemic. We are still trying to get a deal with the EU. Why? Why on earth have we not got this sorted out? We have known about it for months...and our local fishermen are relying on the huge ships from Europe disappearing from our seas. Us old people are just watching it all happen , wearing masks or not seems trivial in the face of all the change edging ever closer. Help! I am now used to being on my own most of the time...I will not be travelling anywhere outside Cornwall. I already shop on line rather than go out...but I am not ready for another round of changes...I just want everything to stay "normal" What ever that turns out to be. If I live that long!
And I hate to say this but I do wish anyone else was running this country in these troubled times but our present Prime Minister. This situation is not his fault...but he just wanted the job...and never dreamed about these circumstances. I’m not sure he has the mental capacity to deal with it all. But then who has? These Brexiteers who wanted us out of Europe could not have foreseen the daily dilemmas this would pose. Is it too late to change our minds?

Earnie I hit the wrong button and your post got deleted. So I’m putting it in here with apologies. Sorry!
Change has been part of my life throughout my life. I joined an Army in 1967 which has not changed much since the war. But a long came Northern Ireland and our lives were never the same again. , tactics, technology, ways of working , the. Computer age , the digital age and wars innumerable. The army I joined in 67 was infinitely bigger than the tiny size it is now. We can do more with one battalion now than we could with a Bbrigade in 1967.
I was in the Army before Europe and lived in Europe while we were in Europe and they were great times . Now we have withdrawn from Europe but not NATO. All of our forces with a few exceptions are home based but with the nature of an Expeditionary Force to deploy quickly when needed, supported by thousand of reservists many who will have experienced call outs more than once in their career. Reservists are deployed not to support the current pandemic, who’d have thought that years ago.
So where I sit, I just see change as normal, a challenge to face and to overcome or go along with.
