“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
My brother (whatisname) rang me earlier and, him being a serving police person, I was interested to know what was happening “on the ground.” Well. Apparently – ARV and Traffic Cars are now being used as C-o-v-I-d cars. He’s a fully trained Armed Response and Traffic Cop and Medic but now he is being called […]
We ALL have a God Given Gift, so, please…NEVER apologise for that. NEVER allow others to spoil that. NEVER deny that. Some are gifted Public Speakers (not me) Some are gifted singers (not me) Some are gifted musicians (not me) Some are gifted painters (not me) Some are gifted Parents (ask my boys!) Some are […]
This is a question that keeps coming back to me. Was it encoded in them in the beginning and then the knowledge passed down and refined throughout the generations? At one point in time this ability to “read” the environment would have been widely known and in everyday use. When did we lose the knowledge? […]
My in-coming guests are my traveller-in-crime and DB. Dangerous Brian! Brave souls to keep coming back here in the winter to my ffff-freezing house. But – OMGladioli —- we have a laugh. Then another. Then we cry with laughter. Does that mean that we are all natural born comedians? P.S. My last phone convo with […]
Apparently – so the local gossip goes – in Jan 2021 this village is getting FIBRE OPTIC. Whatever that is (?) My boys say we will finally get beyond 0.2 mega/kiga bots per second and will be able to download EVERYTHING in less than a second. OK! Right! Earlier today I got a yt notification […]
I was being optimistic there. 80 seconds is more like it! Anyhoo – You get the guy. Do the jiggly stuff. He falls asleep for the next 20 years. I IRL screamed those words or something like them during labour. NEVER, EVER COME NEAR ME AGAIN, YOU BASTARD. He was slightly miffed by that. After […]
OK. I did a bit of “foreshadowing” a while back. Vienna. 1725. The F1RST Treaty of Vienna. 1725. When the Society of Jesus was given CONTROL of the church. Vienna. A place well known by Elizabeth Bathory aka The Blood Countess. She lived there. Vienna – Sir Bob got the Sirship (even though he is […]
If you have watched the video I posted earlier with Gary Kemp and Iconic Song Writing…at around 14:24 he says something about what he did when he was 11 years old. I…ME…had MY first paying job aged 11. Like Gary, it was a paper round. All winds and weather and the majority of it went […]
…Like a Teddy Bear One Step Two Step Tickle YOU under There! My boys loved this when they were tiny. Usually, Mummy tickles them under the armpit. But I’d change it up. Under the chin. Behind the ear. On the bottom of the foot. On the belly. Top of the head. Why has this OLD […]
I fell for the invisible enemy in the machine. The AI Troll. The GimmeGimmeGimme. The False, Fake, Foney. I – for a short time – ACTUALLY believed IT. What a stupid fool am I? Heyho. Moving on :o)
There was always one restaurant in Dubai that we ALL agreed on when planning an evening out. It was a Lebanese Restaurant right beside the Dubai Fountains. MEZZE at its best. With a side platter of meat dishes :o) If I remember rightly (?) the fountains didn’t start singing and dancing until about 9pm…after we […]
We had a meeting last week with a top man from the company who bought out all the farmland around us. Their wanton farming practices have poisoned our land and our pond. Everything that I have planted over the past ten years is now dead. And so are the fish. They have promised to “make […]
