Another Fine Mess

Back from uptown at the back of midnight, to find joyous singing and dancing going on across at the beach. Latvians! Taking part in their Jānis day celebrations - a sort of midsummer pagan ritual - many of them had made garlands for their heads which is apparently part of it. That and drinking beer. We were warmly welcomed and even got the use of their inflatable sofa to watch proceedings.
And so what unfolded afterwards as we sat watching the referendum results roll in was all the more dispiriting. Of course Embra was one of the top places for remain - we've our second homes in the Dordogne to think of, after all. But the die is now cast; indyref2 will be coming down the line and I guess that voting out the UK will now be counterbalanced for many previously sceptical people by the pull of rejoining the rest of Europe. Oh dear, what a fucking mess. Bloody Cameron.
Right, back to chores; we've a wee housewarming for a few neighbours. I may make a garland and learn Latvian. Yes, and drink some beer. Chrissakes. What a fucking mess.
