Struggling to be upbeat after yesterday’s Brexit / Article 50 triggering / information onslaught on high of normal horrible information / every little thing from America / every little thing on the whole / it’s an excessive amount of / make it cease / somebody, please?
It’s not simply you.

- Head within the sand, there can be no triggering. As a substitute, the entire problem can be Britishly swept below the carpet and forgotten about. Which is completely what I might have accomplished, utilizing toddler-distraction ways of ‘OH LOOK! THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE DISTANCE. ANYTHING!’. After which by no means referred to once more other than utilizing hushed tones and lowered eyes
- Somebody, anybody would come to their senses and it wouldn’t occur
- As I mentioned over on Instagram, I’d vaguely thought in opposition to hope {that a} time traveller from the long run would have arrived and run in on the final minute shouting ‘Cease the madness!’ Whereas every little thing went into sluggish movement.
However that clearly didn’t occur and above every little thing else I’m simply attempting not to consider it because it’s making me feeling actually, actually unhappy. Actually unhappy.
If the present state of politics and international occasions is what you needed, nice. If it’s not, right here’s a few mildly cheerful random issues that – may – assist to lighten the temper:

- In welcome information for some dad and mom, there’s a new collection of THIS
- We’re watching Designated Survivor and it’s good! Have you ever seen it? I neeeeed to debate it
