Week-end round up .

Anyone who has followed the saga ( epic ? ) of the barbecue can now be informed that it has made it's way ,fully erected , into the living room near the balcony , where it will have to stay until Spring or until he ( my son ) gets a cover for it . The grill can then replace the old one on the balcony .

Serbia and Russia are rightly upset over the illegal declaration of independence by Kosovo , this is a clear breech of international law , it is also a breech of international law to recognise an illegal State but it has not stopped the US , EU ( most of it ) , shockingly Australia , and a shed full of others from "recognising" it . It came as a thunderbolt , then , to hear that Israel was contemplating recognition , this really is beyond belief .
In the U.S. the race for the Democratic nomination is getting lively , Obama seems to be edging out Clinton , although she will probably succeed in Texas and the Southwest . Come on Hillary , get the lead out of your drawers and make a fight of it . I believe that America is ready for it's first female President .

In the U.K. it has been revealed that the TRUE level of inflation is near to 7 % , with food prices rising at 11% , with the elderly here dying from the cold , there will be deaths from hunger and malnutrition . Hell no one cares , so long as new arrivals to this country are kept warm and well fed , a few British pensioners dying will hardly be noticed . God but I am getting to hate my country and it's leaders .
