May Fish Slapping, Emperor Macron and the Putin-Trump Wrestling Match on Friday?

Window Midge (about 10mm long
Finally gave up on the company insurance proposal form which had all sorts of irrelevant fields. Spent morning providing description and passed onto to broker to sort out. In the afternoon, took notes from draft manuscript that I'm rewriting/ghostwriting. Harvested one of the weekly fruit fly traps, did a population count and found a nice specimen of a window midge as bycatch to photograph. In the evening, Core CETC committee meeting reviewing past meetings and looking ahead.

I didn't notice much Brexit news today. The news rages on about the pressure on the government to lift the cap on public sector pay rises. The fallout from Grenfell tower fire still features, as does an explosive findings on child abuse by the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry.

An idle mind leads to speculation on new betting odds on more interesting futures. The world is looking towards the G20 meeting on Friday, where Theresa May meets EU leaders again after the masterstroke of withdrawing from an old fishing agreement. I think she should go armed with a fish and emulate the Monty Python Fish Slapping Dance (https://youtu.be/i9SSOWORzw4) or see below:



Will Emmanuel Macron be Emperor of France by Friday after his Versailles speech today? Have President Trump and President Putin plans for a public wrestling match?

For young people - see music video https://youtu.be/K2QAMqTgPKI from way back in the last century or watch below - skipping the first one and a half minutes:
