Part of the problem is that this, in part at least, represents a pressure cooker that's been simmering for a while. It includes many issues that are nothing to do with EU (but for which they've been a useful scapegoat in domestic politics), but also some very valid criticism of how the EU is run, and its overall demeanour. Its treatment of Greece was particularly appalling - to some degree the institutions have forgotten 'why' the EU should exist..

You might need to travel to my local cafe, The Pig & Pastry, for them… The best I've tasted by some margin.

@kdfrawg Indeed, although it's mostly Odette this week as the various components of my new PC make their way to me!

I hope all goes well. :-) Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?

You'll need to make sure Nozomi still gets plenty of attention from her daddy too!

Huge congratulations on the release! Looks like some excellent stuff there.
Also congrats on impending fatherhood, hadn't realised until I read the blog post - have obviously been AWOL too long! ;-)
