Hang on to your hopes and dreams!

Minor chatter today: POTUS is quibling with the Washington Post over a D in a quote. 'He did, he didn't' debate re 'stinkholes' quote. Hammond apparently tells EU to show more 'enthusiasm' for Brexit and now thinks Brexit is the only way, whilst Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage fear Brexit may be reversed.

More important was the false missile alarm in Hawaii yesterday, apparently started by accident when someone pressed the wrong button during a shift change. Fortunately this was not the button for a missile launch but a button to send out a state wide alert of an impending missile. Apparently there were no safeguards to prevent false alerts

On a quiet day at home, I'd like to leave you with the positive sort of message we need right now, seen on a toilet door in Alconbury Weald:

"Please don't flush any sanitary products, hopes or dreams down this toilet. Hang onto your hopes and dreams and use the bin for the other stuff."
