Darkness visible
Sep. 27th, 2005 07:06 amDark this morning when the train pulled into Charing Cross. Raining. Front page of FT has headline "Fears of power cuts in cold winter". Ah yes, all those things that make you glad to be alive.
While it appeared to me yesterday morning that Gordon Brown had become prime minister without me knowing about it, today it is clearly more a case of Tony Blair not knowing about it either. The questions is: how long can this go on before the relationship between the two breaks down completely? When one remembers the sudden disintegration within the Thatcher cabinet in 1990, when various previous stalwarts such as Geoffrey Howe decided that enough was enough, the potential for a government faling apart at the seams should not be underestimated.
Still slowly working off bonuses at $3-$6. Applying principles of Zen, which might sound like airy-fairy nonsense, but is having a remarkably positive impact. One reason that I am playing $3-$6 rather than $5-$10 is that many of the principles are very difficult for me to apply at that higher level.
