読書記録として始めたこのブログ。
セミリタイアしてからこっち、本は沢山読んでいるのでネタは沢山あるのですが、せっかく読書記録を書くなら、本の表紙の写真をとって、一緒に載せたいな～なんて考えていたら、面倒くさくなってしまいました。
今後は方針を変更し、写真ナシ、本についての情報は書名と著者名と出版社くらいにとどめ、感想だけを淡々と書いていこうかと考えています。
それこそ、ワタシが昔、ワープロでつけてた読書記録みたいな感じになります。
とても味気ないものになるかと思いますが、まあ、ワタシの備忘録兼自己満足の為にやっていることなので、それで良しとしましょう。
そして、ふと思い出したのですが、このブログ、時々英単語についての記事を書いているというのもあって、英語カテゴリのランキングに参加しているんです。
なので、気が向いた時に、英語での日記も書いてみようかなんて、考えております。

When I saw a news that Mr John Bercow, The Speaker of the House of Commons, most commonly addressed as Mr Speaker will be stepping down this morning, I had a quite complex feeling.
It is like a mixture of disappointment and sympathy. Maybe stronger sympathy than disappointment.
Oh, finally he had had enough...
The recent progress in relation to Brexit in the house of Commons are rather ugly, and how many times he had to tell MPs of because of them not behaving in an appropriate manner in the parliament.
It was like a school teacher telling off pupils.
In my opinion, the parliament have been behaving like two-year-old kids when it comes to the discussion in relation to Brexit.
You know, how two-year-old kids are, thus notoriously referred "terrible-two"!
They just say "No No No!" to everything.
I cannot believe that opposition parties refuse a call for a General Election in a parliamentary democracy!
But the discussion can never be constructive if one party just deny whatever told without offering an alternative plan.
That's what happening to current UK parliament.
It is like a threadless screw... It's not going anywhere...
So, I am disappointed by them (UK parliament), too, specially Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour party.
That's why I feel sympathy for Mr Speaker.
However, it is definitely disappointing that he will be leaving.
Thanks to him, the live broadcasts of parliamentary proceedings have been very interesting.
Without him, parliament broadcasts will never be the same..I will miss hims a lot.
Just hoping the next Mr Speaker possesses as good and strong personality as he does!
