There are generous people around 25:49

So, our wonderful ladies have won the European football competition here in Wembley. 2-1.  This is a day for celebration but also as Ian Wright (x footballer) said this should be the start of gaining more recognition for the game starting with the lower levels. I am winding down my day as I write. My hernia operation is to take place Tuesday morning less than 48 hours away so I am being quiet....

Papa’s Restaurant + walking barefoot on the beach

I have just received a wonderful video called 'the Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding. It extols the benefits of walking bare footed. Running time 1:15:32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ddtR0XDVU Anyway, I digress. I cannot remember the last time I had a rock fish. I was sitting in one of Weston-super-Mare most famous fish and chip shops, how to order a large cod, when I saw...

carless and quietist

Tomorrow my nearest garage with skilled Volvo people (Chippenham) will call me to tell me of my fate. One morning the car starts, the next morning everything is dead. I suspect the main electronic control unit. A replacement is a mere £1200  and must come from Sweden. Second...

In the midst of a mini heat wave – heart transplants

We are due to be about 38 degrees today Tuesday 19th July. Such temperatures are more normal in Australia where you can have such events lasting for 6 weeks and no one thinks twice about it. We are strange in the UK in that we cannot cope with temperature fluctuations. It is not the end of the world, it is not indicative of climate change (climate changes all the time in case you did not know),...

A day in boiling Bristol at the Harbour Festival

We have not been to Bristol for the best part of a year so we thought we might as well go along to an advertised festival. One of the problems with Bristol is that 5G is blasting from every point so I have come to recognize the familiar heavy sick feeling of the GHz radiation. No protecting myself from it; when I leave I need to make sure that I ground myself by walking in bare feet on the earth...

An enforced break from work

I have just returned from a pre-medical visit at the Sulis Centre, a branch of the NHS, in Peasedown here in Somerset.  It was an hour's worth of appointment and it flew by.  I am having  hernia operation next week and for many reasons which I assume not being sued I had to go over all my details including any past insults to the body, all medications, any allergies. As I am to be under general...
