Stuf that I can’t fit anywhere else…

Don’t take It Out On Those That Are Weaker Than You

Seriously, just don’t. People just want to slap other folks down all the time sadly. Blue sky thinking wont fix it.

Some blue sky. And Facebook, I get a lot of friend requests. Many people seem to misidentify me as a member of their tribe. I get requests from xenophobes, racists, right wing extremists and most puzzling of all transphobes? Weird or what. People obviously don’t read what I write I guess? Perhaps it’s just as well or they would be at the door with the pitchforks.
My brain hurts with it all at times to be honest.









So Class What Have We Learned Today

I played a short gig as part of a small local festival on Saturday and it was jolly good fun. Not perfect but very enjoyable. Go me. The sun’s out today and it’s going to be a hot one again by UK standards. I have a personal significant anniversary which has again minded me to think about what to do next, life wise. So far though I have not had any great inspiration.

A tune for you.

Ashes to Ashes. I think Stardust to Stardust sounds nicer. Apart from that I have very little to say.

Rant time

What is this myth about rich pensioners? I pretty sure I am not one the last time I looked at my bank account. Labour has just scrapped the winter fuel payment. As a somewhat arthritic pensioner that is not by any means wealthy and having had to wait a year longer to receive my state pension which ment burning through savings due to covid basically stopping my being able to work in my last year before receiving it I really would have expected better from you.

Labour has just given a massive middle finger to all those Labour voting pensioners who have been stitched up as there was nothing in the manifesto about that. Not a good look at all labour.

Pensioners who don’t receive pension credit are not all wealthy!

Also I wish they would stop using the phrase hard working people. I had my first job when I was 15 so I built up 50 years of NI contributions. If I did wish to sit on my arse at this point in life I don’t think that would be unreasonable. Actually I don’t but I am sure you get my drift.

Football , What’s that Then?

Apparently there was a football match on Sunday night. Well I do declare.

The pollen is relentless. Trump got shot, but he survives.
A lucky man you would think. Another day is dawned indeed. Much chat about Trump and people thinking it was a publicity stunt. In truth some aspects of the shooting do seem odd. You would expect way more blood as your ear is full of blood vessels, it seemed to take a while for the bodyguards to get too him and normally he would have just been lifted and carried. If you or I had just been shot in the ear I suspect we would not be making a defiant gesture. But maybe I am just a looney…. Quite seriously a lot my US facebook mates are very worried about Trump now. I think he is guaranteed to win now and that may well have serious repercussions all around the world. The world is now becoming a very unstable place again geopolitically.

I can’t get started today at all. And yes as I type this it’s raining a lot again. Its also St Swithins day so 40 days of rain expected then.
