With storms forecast I thought the builder would call off and I'd get a lie-in this morning but no. Not a drop of rain fell overnight and it's still as dry as a bone outside. I see on the webcam it's pissing down in the capital.

And Massa is joining them, apparently.
The usual ''you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'' routine. The politicians in Argentina excel at it.

Some shocking price hikes spotted in Vea today ....1kg of scabby looking tatties were 900 pesos.

Lovely story on BBC World tonight.
Lancashire and South Carolina pen pals of 70 years meet for first timePatsy Gregory, from Lancashire, flew to South Carolina to meet Carol-Ann Krause, her pen pal since 1955.www.bbc.com -
Wait: you’ve declared him a buffoon, yet your wife said she’s voting for him, and you always vote as she tells you?
I don't get to vote.
-
Is it Boris Johnson’s? Trump’s? Or your grandmother’s manual eggbeater?
It's more like our Pepe's.
My missus was listening to an interview with him on TN tonight. She surprised me by saying he'll be getting her vote in the election. He must have impressed her.

Just heard on the car radio before I arrived home that the IMF has called Milei to arrange for a chat...
Interesting.
I wonder where?
Ooh to be a fly on the wall!
They want to know who his hairdresser is?
-
Milei is a strange animal. But I am not too convinced about his attitude to women in general and his love for Trump and Bolsonaro.
Some solid economic ideas ( well he has some ideas on how to tackle inflation...) Having said that , his plan to dollarize the economy is not as easy as he says. The fact that we buy and sell houses and cars in dollars is one thing. But to dollarize the whole economy is very difficult.
Let's see how his team shapes up over the next few weeks . Its easy to campaign when no one has expectations that anything will change.
Now he is the front runner and potential electors will examine his campaign promises.
Indeed.

I haven't a clue but according to the missus ''it's been for years''. She's in a bit of a mood about today's prices so I never pushed her to be more accurate.
-
Nevertheless, I think Argentina needs him at this moment in its history.
I think they need a miracle. This guy's a buffoon.
-
Oh my. I have to say that would be a draw.
Unless she said ''I hope you washed your hands''!!
-
Our UK pensions will certainly go further
I'll wait until I see how much the prices in the shops go up.

Never a dull moment here.

The folks that processed you , knew what you could do and gave you those papers.
We are not permitted to vote in the big elections, which is absolutely fine by me.
I see what you mean. The missus had already given me the paper of the local bloke so I just shoved that in the envelope.
-
I was processed in 2 mins 30 secs , UK Man. What about you?
We can only vote in our municipal job , not in the big elections - which makes a bot o sense.
So I couldnt vote for Milei but I found a candidate in CABA with an equally incredible hairstyle
Yes I got 'processed' straight away then had to wait a couple of minutes until a lady came out the room. My missus was under the assumption I could only vote for the local bloke so had given me the relevant piece of paper to put in the envelope. However when I came out she said I could also have voted for Bullrich. She had been chatting to the person in charge who she knew and they had told her that. They might have been wrong right enough.

The missus has just told me she votes a 30 second walk from our front door. I on the other hand have to vote in the centre of town for some reason. WTF is all that about?
Seems my voting station is solely for foreigners hence why it's different from the wife's.
She's just back from voting. She said the queues either side of the entrance to the school were long. Fortunately she got taken straight away.
-
Perhaps this will jog some memories?
I do remember that.
-
Due to it being bloody cold , our 09.00 excursion to the big smoke to vote has been retimed until 10.30.

Nope , never heard of them either. Clearly the Scottish radio stations were not told either.
I wonder if they know who Tiger Tim is?
-
i will vote for patricia bullrich, she looks similar to margaret thatcher,
that is what we need.
She's my wife's choice as well.
