Added to my holiday book collection whilst away! Spent some time in Koggola and managed to get the folk museum there - so picked up on one of the few English copies of Buddhism and Culture by Martin Wickramasinghe that they had.

I am more convinced than ever that Trump has the strength and bravery to save Ukraine and end this appalling war.

Great to meet President Trump who is on top form after the shameful attempt on his life. We discussed Ukraine and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy.

Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire.
He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

Beyond all the sensationalism of the aid pause, the truth is, this will cost Ukrainian lives. People will die because of this decision.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.
Only one cat has ever received the award.
