PM Holness Just Gave Me A Rose

A rare light moment for 18⁰ North.

Despite all my critical articles on him over the years, Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness gave me a rose at the post-Cabinet press briefing this morning for the upcoming International Women’s Day on Saturday, March 8.

He laughed heartily and so did I. I figured he would have given all the other women and skipped me. LOL. But he gave me too!! Give him credit. :)

Seems he didn’t know, at first, he was supposed to give the roses out. His staff must have put him up to it.

Anyway, I appreciate the rose, PM Holness.

I came home and put it on my kitchen counter. So thank you very much, Sir!

That doesn’t mean you’re off the hook though…
