Separation of church and state highly desirable

Waking up to what looks like excellent news from Hungary particularly good if there’s a peaceful handover of power and no claims of fraud.

Impatiently waiting for results from Hungary. Hoping for decisive non- Orban result

Not prepared to go out for coffee in this weather so have been drinking cold brew but forgot today

Wondering if my headache is because of inadequate coffee intake.

I find their captioning really erratic which is really annnoying if I’m trying to watch a series - partially if they lag on loading captions for the denouement episode. I’ve tried emailing them but they usually don’t reply.

Im sure im not supposed to wash my medication down with wine but it really is that kind of a day!

Another reason not to shop there

Nurse at my medical practice tells me the vaccine I got at 65 loses effectiveness and by now , nearly 10 years later I have no or very little protection. Would have to pay heaps to get the 2 doses of the current better vaccine.
