In The Final days Of The Johnson Era

I dreamed I was playing tig with a tubby little boy on the promenade. I didn't like him very much- and at one point caught him and pushed his face down onto the hard concrete. I think this was the result of falling asleep while thinking about Boris Johnson.

Apparently if Mr Johnson hangs on until the end of the week he will avoid being remembered as the PM who spent least time in office, overtaking Neville Chamberlain at the bottom of the leader board.

The cafe in the park serves vegan "fish and chips" and i've been meaning to try it for weeks now- if only so I can tick it off the list of mildly outre things I'd like to do before I die. The main ingredients are tofu and nori- and the result is perfectly palatable if not particularly fishy. What I'd forgotten to factor in is my body's intolerance of deep fried food of any kind- so I don't suppose there'll be a next time...

A Correction

I was wrong to say that Johnson was in danger of serving less time in office than any British Prime Minister. I read it in a headline and neglected to check my facts. This is what comes of relying on the mainstream media.

In fact he's somewhere in the middle of the list, coming in at 35- sandwiched between Neville Chamberlain at 2 years, 248 days and the Duke of Wellington at 2 years, 320 days.

The longest serving Prime Minister was Robert Walpole (the first man to be known by that title) who served for a staggering 20 years, 314 days. between 1721 and 1742.

And shortest tenure was that of George Canning who died in office having managed 119 days in 1827.
