I am enjoying a relaxed weekend with the kids. It's nice when the most demanding calls of the day are "tea or coffee?" and "shall we go out for dinner?"*.
Other than that, I am persevering with Flemish politico-crime drama "Salamander", trying hard to work on music for the forthcoming Voxcetera concert, and trying but failing not to care about the Six Nations.
More of the same this afternoon I think. With a little ironing, perhaps a visit to the gym and doing my accounts for the end of January (whoops). Actually, there is no way the last of those is going to happen.
I'm also watching the situation in Ukraine with a mixture of disappointment and worry. We seem to be at a point where the EU and Russia's influences are in the balance and I do not see it ending well. Ukraine is one of those places about which I am really ignorant. At school it wasn't a country so its distinct issues were not covered, and since then whilst I am aware of the Orange revolution, alleged Presidential poisoning etc, I don't know why the issues are the issues. And today's BBC News just doesn't give that sort of detail.
It also brings how how for all our apparent security in Europe, global stability is at best short-term if not completely illusory. Couple this with the economic situation and I do feel sorry for anyone growing up today.
* Coffee, and let's see what that new ribs place is like , if you were interested.
