Post Community Cafe Speed Warning as Ivanka Trump left unruffled

Sending repeated emails to answer questions by printer to confirm what I actually want done. Is this bad? Actually no! The conversation ensures that we do things right. Also had a chance to do some more picture editing for the Norris. The Corel Photopaint update is great, with the ability to address rotation and keystoning effects, speeding up my editing.

Jane, Sue and I ran the Community Cafe again this afternoon with great help by volunteers Elaine and Natalie. It was lovely to pick up my two lifts, Hilda and Rene, and catch up on our incidental news on the journey to and from the Community Cafe. I'm reminded every month that this is a vital day in the calendar for our regulars, providing a place to socialise as an alternative to the housebound routine. It can even lessen pain for a couple of hours, with Janet, our craft table leader who suffers terribly from back pain, coming alive and relishing the participation.

Coming back home, still amused by the speed warning in our street, which appears to warn our neighbours not to exceed the speed limit when parking on their drive!

There is a lot of Labour bashing in the media again today, but I, for once, quite like the fact that they have made it a promise to give existing EU residents in the UK security with respect to their future in the UK after Brexit. Getting really irritated with Prime Minister May telling us all what she wants from us, though she did make a great slip in wanting to lead the world in "preventing tourism"!

Reports are also abounding of the soundbite of an audience booing Ivanka Trump when she talked about her father and his respect for women at the Women20 Summit (women in business) in Germany. A rather exaggerated description of a muted audience dissatifaction.  She was also quickly typecast as German Chancellor Angela Merkel's route to President Trump's ear. Whilst the accusations of Trumps nepotism and lack of clarity in Ms Trumps role are fully justified, she did have a right to be there as a business leader in her own right, even if she was the junior member of the panel in terms of seniority and experience. Der Spiegel made the point that Ivanka displayed an unruffled composure, politeness and a willingness to learn from her attendance as the Women20 Summit, in marked contrast to her father's more brusque style.

Still feeling apprehensive about the French presidential elections. Marie Le Pen is targeting exactly the type of audience that helped Trump to power and the UK to Brexit.
