No wonder I`m exhausted !   Yesterday was one of those days when things seemed to get worse as the day went by.   And what momentous events they were.   I know we live in unusual, not to say unprecedented, times but really some of the things that came to pass yesterday made me wonder whether I had been transported to the set of a Disney fantasy epic.   But the reality, of course, was that I was simply continuing to live in yet another example of the fact that we are living proof of existing in God`s blueprint, the prototype, the draft edition so that all the bugs can be ironed out before He (or more likely She) produces the proper job.

The big issues of the day included, of course, the anointing of Big Boris as our new Prime Minister following yet another thoroughly undemocratic process which foisted him on the country thanks to the votes of about 92,000 card carrying conservatives.   He`ll have his rant to Parliament today whereupon Parliament will shut down until  a brief reappearance in September.   There was a time when railroads were run properly - this ain`t no way to run a railroad.

Then another hot steamy day of weather - temperatures soaring, humidity rising and us elderly burdens confined to barracks as we comply with Government `advice.`   It`s all down to climate change, of course, although it might still be another design fault that God has to iron out before getting it right.   At least it keeps the climate change protesters, the plastic protesters and the mental health campaigners busy.

But surely the most momentous event in all of yesterday`s priorities was the capitulation of the England cricket team who were dismissed for a mere 85 before lunch in the Lord`s Test against Ireland.   This may have been an allegory of the Irish Government`s  determination to keep the backstop for the border with Northern Ireland - yet another uncanny event with hidden meaning, dire consequences and an unknown outcome.

And finally, in the late evening Hampshire went down to a resounding defeat against Sussex in the T20 competition at Hove, actually.   Just seemed to bring the day to an appropriate finale.   Nurse !!!!!
