8:07 am, New Britain CT: woke up to Oonagh insisting on belly rubs and Britain voting to leave the EU. Both appear to be instinctive and emotional reactions displaying relatively little thought.
The hysteria in headlines and among politicians seems significant. And among some colleagues. Without remotely being an expert (much better at belly rubs), I admit to some confusion, as last I checked the referendum is not binding on the UK government. And the vote means nothing in practical terms to the EU, until something called Article 50 is invoked to start a formal exit process.
This basically seems like the sovereign equivalent of telling your family you really really hate them and you want to run away from home. Super unfriendly and upsetting. But if you haven’t actually done anything?
Well, back to belly rubs. Plenty of work to do today. And of course need to attend the kids’ tennis lesson and see how they are gettin on a few days in.
