I'm delighted to hear that BP doubled their profits, making £4.2bn in just 3 months. Not that I have any vested interest in it, other than the £50,000 given to us by the wife of former senior BP executive James Hay.

Visited my niece in CH Perigueux this arvo, she's in remarkably good spirits. The physio was with her when we arrived & spoke perfect English. The nurse explained they just need an email address & a dossier number from their travel insurance & they will organise everything for her repatriation. WOW.

I see the 4 big UK banks made a profit in 6 months of almost £30bn. 8 oil companies almost £70bn in just 3 months. It’s not a simple extrapolation but that’s about £320 billion a year for 12 companies. Profit. “Unfunded” VAT cut on electricity £850m. Or 0.25% of those profits. A quarter of 1%

Mother of all storms last night as the family were driving back from CH Perigueux, trees falling around them. One of our dogs ran off & we shouted frantically till he returned. Max came in drowned but promptly managed to escape again. He's very fluffy this morning. The pool doesn't need a top up!

Course you would, “love”… And Brexit will suddenly be amazing. And climate change will go away. And Trump will give us the bestest trade deal ever. And voters will love you for scrapping their rights, to please your moneyed mates… Now, pipe down and focus on your upcoming fight with a bin.

Well they screwed my niece'sleg back on! No hip replacement, as the hip was good. She'snot allowed any weight on it for 6 weeks. Goodness only knows how we'll get her back to the UK, or how long they'll keep her in. Her OH & 2 sisters currently visiting, so more news later. I'm getting dinner!
