that may be the case in England (and in Scotland for all I know) but Mark Drakeford (our First Minister) is not privileged, or elitist in any way. He's a really genuine, humble man. I've met him. And you only need to watch him being interviewed (any interview) to see that.

Yup, I've seen him and from what I've seen he seems like a good man.
Scotland is hoping for Independence in the not too distant future and much of stuff touted by Boris and his public school cronies will just get ignored.

Good evening Cafe.
The rain didn't get here and the afternoon would have been pleasant if it hadn't been for the getting close to the final episode of the war that's been rumbling on with the human families here for some time now.
The people who own the main house have mental health problems. Part of the reason the rest of the family encouraged the arrangement we have here was so that I could not just try to keep the land in order and the animals healthy but discourage the worst of the behaviour that became evident almost ten years ago. The war was started over the usual and that was and is money, a bit over a million pounds I beleive now.
I'm not really interested in money but the same can't be said of most of the rest of my family.
I am, and have been for some time now the only person in the family who will and does communicate with all. The rest are split into various factions, who go for each other at any and every opportunity. It's very tiresome and I hear all sides and am expected to relay the important information from faction to faction.
Until fairly recently my income has been dependent on the two here with the mental health problems. You can imagine; if you don't tow the line we wont pay you any more. It's been stressful to say the least. All I really want to do is hang out with the animals here, excluding one species. It is coming to an end now and today was the day I pointed out the reality of this to the occupants in the main house.
There will be no doubt a brief spite spat which I will deal with quickly and the next few months will see a few changes here.
It's been a hard day.

sounds horrendous. On a more positive note, so are you a man of independent means now? So you can tell them to take a hike?

Erm, not really Perris. It's family. What I don't have to worry about is feeding myself which is cool. I can also carry out a few much needed maintenance projects on my house.

I didn't know they were your family....that makes things far more difficult.

 

[Perris]

sorry, I must have misunderstood your penultimate para
So what is coming to an end now?

@Shadrach life is always tough/impossible for the man in the middle. I held that position for years until my mother freed me by her death. Then it became screw those who deserve it. I hope that things resolve for you.

they will fog if your mask is not set right but has a metal nose piece ..

Both of my masks have a metal nose piece, just not possible to get things tight enough to not lose a wee bit of air out the top. I even fogged the optometrist's testing equipment. She broke out the masking tape.

Erm, not really Perris. It's family. What I don't have to worry about is feeding myself which is cool. I can also carry out a few much needed maintenance projects on my house.

Do you own the property that you house sits on? I would hate to think that your housing is at the mercy of the mentally ill relatives.
