Here’s a first world problem: my flight home has been delayed. My BA app has told me that, so far, we’re over an hour later than schedule. But that’s increasing every time I look. I’m rather proud of that app, and in fact all my apps because I’m not naturally an ‘appy’ person. Safe to say I’m fairly scared of them. Scared of anything that will ask me for a password I set up more than a week ago and haven’t used since. But that’s me. So the daughter got the BA app for me (and for Mel) so we can become those really annoying people at the departure gate trying to locate our boarding passes that don’t cover a sheet of A4.

Israel (and Jordan in fact) are experiencing a heat-wave. Yesterday in Eilat it was 36 degrees of niceness. Last night back ‘up north’ (think Manchester; then bring up the most opposite place you could ever imagine), it was 28 degrees all night long. This morning it looks like that pic and feels much hotter. Probably 32 or 33. It’s fucking November, up here in the Med, northern hemisphere and we were swimming in the sea this morning. Ok, it wasn’t easy getting in (15 minutes for me… conservative estimate) but that’s because I have testicles. My fellow travellers don’t and therefore entered the water much more easily. Choosing to mock, taunt and gloat. Very nice!!!

We booked to come to a wedding. Booked it back in April. Thought if we were lucky it wouldn’t rain too much. But instead it has been totally cloudless for 6 days. If we’d have known we’d have stayed longer. But we can’t. Lila needs us. Joey needs us. Work might appreciate us. And the election needs us. Needs all the help it can get.

Jeremy Corbyn is unlikely to visit Israel. But they all know him. Mainly as the only man in the world who doesn’t realise that Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-Semite. Funny that. He attends a commemorative ceremony in Tunis to celebrate the killers of the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, but fortunately doesn’t remember it.

And Farage has unilaterally decided to save a few bob for the Brexit party and withdraw its candidates from safe Tory seats. He still remains an absolute tosser, from which there is no redemption, but maybe such actions will see him eventually sent straight to Hell rather than enduring purgatory first.

Happy Tuesday
