I’ve been offline for a few days after picking up a bug when
looking online for cotton sheets to buy.
It covered my screen with constantly-moving flashing advertisements and froze
everything else.
It took So&So two hours of concentrated searching but he
finally found the bug buried deep within my Google Chrome browser (so deep even
the virus detectors weren’t locating it).
A little bit of magic (or a large dose of it!) and I was
given my computer back, but the experience has left me very wary of going online
again although I know I must. Silly of
me really, to feel like this, but there it is.

Our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, made a shock
announcement this afternoon by saying she was going to step down from
office. There is almost equal amounts of
jubilation and consternation in the streets, as people react with either joy or
dismay.
Personally, I feel she has done as much as any reasonable
leader could be expected to do over the last few years. But our country is facing dire economic times
and a lot of Labour Party policies have been deeply divisive, so the time is
probably politically correct for a change in leadership before the General
Election at the end of the year.

Once again, I am glad I don’t have any political
affiliations (to me, they all seem as bad as each other!), so I can watch proceedings with a neutral eye and wait to see who our new PM will be.
Keep smiling and carry on 😊
Margaret.
