The weather is turning sour which also reflects the opinions of Trump

It would appear that the Portuguese and Spanish authorities have issued weather warnings not only for the Canary Islands but also Portugal and Southern Spain yet again. This is particularly frustrating when the weather back in good old blighty seems to be very warm and quite a bit nicer than here in supposed to be the sunny Algarve where don't golf missing the puddles.

So we spent the morning watching some of the rain and eventually it stopped but is due to start again later but we need to do some food shopping and so of to the local mall and unfortunately the Irish Bar got in the way and we were forced in to having lunch there and before doing our shopping. We still have 8 days to go before we leave here and so need to juggle our food supplies rather than leave some here.

we had a good lunch and therefore in the evening did not need anything to eat but watched the Chelsea vs Spurs game which we won after a few scares, the guys still need to improve a lot with passing accuracy and not enough running at the defence in the middle of the goal area as we keep on using both sides. Still that puts back at number 4 in the Premier league with the chance of Champions League football next year. On a private note my sister and brother in law are being moved to new premises as the current care in Oxford has not been as good as expected which is a shame.

Well the world seems to be pissed off with Trump and his new tariffs, all the global famous politicians are suffering  because they don't understand the mind of a business man doing negotiations. Its not a bad strategy really and lets see how it works out but some countries will slowly change their minds and make tariff deals which enable the USA to be able to compete more in the global market. GB News last night was supportive of the fact that Trump is looking after the USA which is his job as president and wouldn't  it be great if the UK Politicians would do the same. No one is prepared to tackle the serious immigration and rampant crime issues an when you have the London Mayor (?) reducing the police force even though having a lot of money in reserve is atrocious, he should be removed as soon as possible, our only hope is Nigel…..
