food & politics
Food: gosh but the sourdough was Excitable about having milk sugars to eat. Very tall, very soft, very close crumb, much less chewy than the water-based ones I've been making; also rather sweeter and rather less tangy. Definitely an interesting variation and I'm definitely going to use up the rest of the flagon of milk tomorrow to make another loaf.
Politics: I keep thinking to myself with grim hilarity that, hey, if this is actually about parliamentary sovereignty, well, the EU has never been found to be in contempt of Parliament, which means it's doing rather better than other party in these negotiations.

Re politics: In 2.5 years, we've gone from "It's all going to be sunlit uplands when we leave, you'll see" to "We're preparing to deploy riot police when the food and medicines run out." In 2.5 years, we seem to be at exactly the same negotiating position we were in the day after the referendum: complete uncertainty. And somehow we are not concluding: this is a terrible idea, let's call it off and maybe revisit the idea when we work out how to do it without destroying the fabric of our society and the economy? I despair.
