A day off at last! Enjoyed a lie-in and then went to Anglesey abbey with Jane for a light lunch and walk around the gardens. In the afternoon, we finally got around to digging the hole for my pond and installing it.
Crossover Brexit and Trump news, with a weekend Times article claiming that President Trump would now put the EU back ahead of Britain in trade agreements, after Angela Merkel made it clear that Germany would not do a single country deal with the US. When repeatedly asked whether the US could get a trade deal with Germany, Mrs Merkel said that deals were only possible with the EU bloc - and apparently the US president finally got the message.
More trouble brewing in the US with a looming potential government shutdown in the US as the President has not yet signed a funding bill because it does not contain funding for his Wall. Without a deal, funding for the government will run out at midnight on 28 April, Trump’s 100th day in office.
And as the US aircraft carrier approaches North Korea, the latter threatens to sink it in a single strike.
Emmanuel Macron and Marie le Pen going on to the second stage of the French Presidential elections - one candidate staunchly pro European, regarding Brexit as a big mistake, the other staunchly anti EU and pro Brexit. This French election could have a big impact on our Brexit progress.
