@alexandra same here! Planning trips in my head is just so much fun!

we're going to the UK. starting in Manchester where one of my husband's favourite artists has three shows. I will go to one, he will do the other two solo.

After that it's a bit up in the air, going to try to find somewhere beautiful to stay for a couple of days before heading to London for a couple of days for a musical and museums and such 😀

@alexandra I don't like to go to London without a goal, but I love to go places. Going shopping in London is akin to hell, imho. Or even taking a walk in a park. It's always busy everywhere!

@alexandra yeah, I can understand that. Is it something that grew over time?

@alexandra oh yes, hear you on that one. It's shocking to me how sometimes people behave in groups. And if they get loud, I immediately withdraw.

@alexandra yes, agreed. And I really don't know why. I do blame the pandemic though...

I do think it's the reason why populist politicians are all winning elections these days.

@alexandra yeah, definitely. And it's so disheartening to watch.

It breaks my heart that we soon may have a far right government here.

And they have won elections by stealing all the left wing themes during the election. And then right now they break all those promises one by one.

And still, they are expected to get more votes if we have another election.

Because people revel in hate.

@sylvia It’s shocking that there are so many voting for these party, and just how successful they’re being right now. Especially in countries like Spain and Portugal where left leaning government has been the norm for so long.

@sylvia Hard agree, whether this statement is sincere or sarcastic. Because I find trip planning both yay & arrgh!
