A cheery aftermath

A quiet day in the Kenny household after staying up late last night.  Spent much of it absorbing all the details of what is a historic event.  

Mum had voted for the winning candidate, and the constituency was won by Labour in the tightest race in the UK -- a margin of a mere 15 votes. Mum had voted for the winning candidate. Spent much of the day absorbing the politics. Keir Starmer gave an excellent servant leadership type speech before entering No.10. An immediate change of tone.  I particularly enjoyed seeing the calamitous Liz Truss lose her seat. 

Lorraine off to be with Micky the cat this afternoon, as Beth and James travelling north for Olivia's wedding.  We watched footie in the evening, most of a good game between Spain and Germany, which Spain edged, and an underwhelming nil-nil game between France and Portugal, which the French won on penalties. I cooked this evening, and was able to saunter into the garden and pluck some cavolo nero leaves to add in.

A photo I took yesterday of our rather magnificent hydrangeas.
