Donna: I have not heard anything more about Weave or how she is getting on. I think if one of us hears anything we will let everyone know as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing from Weave herself - can someone smuggle a laptop into the hospital?

Yesterday's post
I took down yesterday's post because I heard Greg Clarke's whole address to the parliamentary committee this morning, and it was an accumulation of crass gaffs (for which he is famous apparently) in an area where he supposed to be highly sensitive to the issues. He was - after all - chairman of the F.A. at a time when the whole world of sport is trying to change entrenched attitudes involving casual racism, sexism and homophobia, so he had to go. I think there are a few more on the board who need to go too.

He is rather obnoxious.. surprised it didn't happen sooner. Listening to some things he has said, you wonder how he got where he was. The sad thing is that he isn't the only one in a place of power with questionable attitudes.
ReplyDeleteHope we get news of Weave soon.
Truer than ever.
DeleteBrothers and Sisters...
ReplyDeleteI started using these two words back
in the 60's..Spending 12yrs working
for the Americans, 10mths up in Detroit
at Motown..so my music was strictly Soul,
and l stopped referring to people as 'black'
but Brothers and Sisters..
"What's going on Brother" "What's happing Brother"
And so on..And, l've been like it ever since...
Colour matters nowt to me, there's good and bad in
all sorts, l get on with everybody..and l mean
everybody..
I've just turned 73..and from the day l was born,
years of growing up, school, college, traveled,
halfway around the world, worked, and mixed with
ALL sorts..And yet..l have never ever been in a fight,
l've never struck anyone, and no one has ever struck
me..and that's the very truth..Some said..l should get
out more..HeHe! Yeah! "Right~On"..! :).
Now! My Dad was racist..was he ever..Fought in the war,
like his brothers etc..they always used to say...
"There's only one good German..and that's a dead one".
Said it till the day he died..!
But then, there's a lot of 'sad' people out there, and,
they seem to be getting away with all sorts..look at
the idiot in the White House..HaHa! White House..!
Maybe white on the outside, but it's very dirty and
ugly on the inside..! :(
HeHe! God Bless! And l was'nt even gonna leave a comment
to~day..! :o).
AND..Yeah! Good news about Weave soon..!x
Stoned..Again....

I have never hit or been hit either.
DeleteI know we all worry about Pat, but I think we must all hope for the best, I am sure if she had a laptop in hospital, she would be typing away furiously.
ReplyDeleteAs for Greg,Clarke he is typical of an age that luckily is fast fading away. All I know is that I shall be glad to talk of ALL people without having to say anything about skin colour - which is not important.
Well I think all differences - whether physical or cultural - are important, and it is no use to pretend that we are all the same in every respect. The important thing is to respect and appreciate the differences.
DeleteI too would love to know how Weave is doing....each day I check to see if her son might possibly send something via her blog. Not knowing is awful.
ReplyDeleteHer son used to blog a few years ago, but then stopped. I would hope he would keep us informed because I am sure he knows that Weave means a lot to us.
DeleteThere is a network going , so when any news is heard about Weave, the jungle telegraph will tell us all x
ReplyDeleteI would describe it as a network, but it could turn into one if we had more information.
DeleteThanks Tom.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what for, but you are welcome Jill!
DeleteI'm a bit knackered tonight so I will leave the comments until tomorrow. Nighty night.
ReplyDeleteGod you must be knackered.
ReplyDeleteI was.
DeleteIt is still my firm and unerring belief that Weave will be fine and one day soon she will surprise us all with a post.
DeleteI hope so. I'm sure you're right.
DeleteOh, hooray, we have a plan. A laptop to Weaver. Hand to hand, over hill, through dale. We'll have news soon, I hope.
ReplyDeleteNext thing is find out where she is. Maybe some of our Northern bloggers could make discreet enquiries. The trouble is that hospitals here will give no information to anyone who is not family.
DeleteI am anxious to hear something of her as well. A lap top smuggler! Sounds like a lovely adventure!
ReplyDeleteI think that Covid regulations make it mission impossible.
DeleteStumbled over here from another blog, and was so happy to read all these comments about Weaver of Grass. I've been following her for about 10 years, maybe more, and have really missed her. Should you hear anything, please let me know.
