Merry Xmas ?
No Turkey - no Christmas
No salt - no soul !
A family who do not put salt on the table have no soul at all.
If you remove a turkey from Christmas not only does Christmas eve lose its feeling, but so does Christmas day. There is more to the turkey than meets the eye, It the tradition that carries the atmosphere.

A stormy forecast over Christmas this year
Its been a very windy stormy night. An uneasy night with the wind roaring in the tree tops and sounding like the sea. Ive listened to this roar all my life at this time of year. Its a roar of natural energy or rather rage as nature and the sun hit rock bottom. And I follow closely being tired and usually ailing a cold and a slowed metabolism with reduced appetite. This is not like me at all normally. Bring on the tipping point in January when that wind symbolizes the uphill climb to spring ,or hints of it.

There's nothing more boring than other peoples dreams, but....
Well it says " lucid dreaming " may increase as a side effect of this medication I'm taking, and boy is this the case. Im dreaming several times a night, every night. There is no set plot to these dreams other than they are often quite complex as in a scene from a movie. Events and my interaction with people in them are rapid and my actions quickly twist the story. Often I find I am in a group of people in peril. Thankfully these scenes are not violent. My mind flows like a river all night. Deep inside the chemicals are " grooming " my mind, both in my waking and sleeping hours.
Worryingly when I awake in the morning I have to sift through the nights happening to sort out what is real. I dreamt I had offended someone I know last week and they called the police to arrange my arrest. I had to speak to this person the next day and even when I set eyes on them I felt awkward... until I forced myself to recall it had just been a dream. In my mind somewhere It still feels like it happened. How quickly could reality breakdown here ?
I was drowning and clambered aboard a boat. Where is this boat taking me now ? Back home to where I fell in ? Hell,no. That place no longer exists.

Why, it just rolls off the tongue... ( to be said with a tepid smile )
" He may not always be wealthy. He may not always be handsome "
This quote from Wuthering Heights has been running through may head for days now. I keep spouting it out at random times during the day. Its delicious and cutting and deflates idealism. It was triggered by a mans glowing praise of his wifes characteristics online. Cringe worthy it was too. As I knew him I resisted the urge to comment.

Are children the greatest vampires of all ?
My dad is aged. I'm nearly 53 and both our life energies are now in decline. Meanwhile my daughter of 11 is growing and gaining energy and life force. Is this where the declining energy is going ? As energy cant be destroyed... Just a thought on this increasingly Autumnal day.

An " interesting " ride out
Well. I was warned... After discovering another cycle path a while ago I decided to check it out one evening when the rain finally stopped. The path was about a 4 mile round bike ride which was nice as it was all flat. I knew the path headed to Morecambe, and ended at an industrial estate. There is another path on the other side of Lancaster that is well known for trouble at night, so Im told. I was aware it would be an " interesting " area the other evening , but was not really ready for what I found.
The first thing that raised my eyebrows was a man chatting to his friend about having just got out of prison. Hmmmm. I then found myself cycling towards a homeless drunk with a bottle in his hand. He gave off a bad atmosphere and I sped up as I passed him. I then instantly came across a young girl who was going to have to approach him head on, so I stopped to look back to check she was ok, and sure enough he was checking her out over his shoulder.
Next I came across some young boys about 8 or 9 years old. They were running at full speed towards me and I soon discovered why. They had just set fire to dry grass on an abandoned railway embankment. I stopped a passer by rang rang the fire brigade.
Oh, I nearly forgot the two prostitutes on the corner of a housing estate, and the character in a playground inhaling something from a big balloon. And there was the youth who flew past me an on illegally souped up electric bike that meant he didnt have to pedal it. These paths are hot beds of crime as the police cant drive on them. Stabbings, muggings and rapes have taken place on them due to there isolation. But why should this be so ? Its a nice path to relax on. Its a sign of the times no doubt. Nothing seems safe anymore. Everything however mundane carries a risk.
There is a whole different world hiding around the corner. A lost land with children who dont stand a chance given their parents. The cycle ( no pun intended ) continues. Before I get too negative I did see something positive...
On that evening I also passed a running event on a purpose made track that is part of a leisure center. Here was another breed of people. The polar opposite of those I had just seen. This fact was not lost on me. I guess it all depends on which side of the tracks your born on ?

Of course this new system is not entirely compulsory, but just like bypassing the touch screen order console in a fast food place you feel awkward as though you are jumping the que if you do not stand in line and walk past all those people queuing. Its the new normal. Its making me want to avoid some shop.
Imagine face recognition had been wide spread in shops during lockdown. It would have been really easy to exclude some from entering them. Face recognition at tills is spreading rapidly now.

Despite a hot May and June...
A weekend of terrible weather. Pouring rain, only 11 degrees which is the coldest ive known during the day time in June, never mind July. Oh, and a north wind occasionally howls around the window frames. It rains most days now, and to think I predicted drought. Meanwhile Europe bakes in record temperatures.

A new project
Im hoping to buy this bike tomorrow night. Its very unusual as its a BMW courtesy bike that I presume people have used when they leave their car at the dealership for work. Courtesy car are common of course, but ive never heard of a bike for that purpose. Its cheap too at only £150. Its a novelty and I want it.
The weather here is awful. Cool and wet and hardly a dry day. I need something to tinker around with at night, especially when it chucking it down. The jet stream has moved and is causing a heatwave in Europe but the rain is being all shoved our way. May and June were hot and dry though .

God help us. Were doomed.
This country is doomed. Today I visited a large clothing chain. I asked at the check out if there was even one mirror in the whole store, because I couldnt find one. Maybe it was just me ? But no. The reply I got stunned me. " No, there arent any. Weve taken them all down for health and safety reasons. People kept walking into them and banging themselves, especially youngsters " Is this the level we are at ? People arent in a fit state to deal with the concept of a mirror ?
A relations wife who teaches swimming told me today that many children are just so dumb that they " parrot " back at her one word answers when she asks them a question. And they keep on doing this and cannot move on. She said they are in general almost retarded. If the next generation cant deal with the concept of a mirror without injuring themselves what does this say for the future ? I was genuinely shocked. Really.

A fallen gaint
I happened to catch site yesterday of a man who caught a " mystery virus " last winter. He has been paralyses for several months, but has now improved some what, and is rocking a mobility scooter. He has aged 15 years during this, understandably.
I know his problem started with tingling in his hands and feet. Probably a circulation thing ?
He was a very strong tall man.

Time to get out !
I have to admit that my head does not feel as good recently. Aches in my sinuses and prickling and a strange resonance when I experience certain sounds. Im more jumpy than I was, sounds such as someone turning a door handle to enter a room Im in, especially if my back is to the door. Last night the phone rang and I literally jolted in my seat. My nerves are more on edge again.
Sometimes I blame tea, sometimes Coke...sometimes being tired. I noticed this weekend at a busy car show, in a ware house full of noisy people that suddenly my ears jarred at the sound of my wife and daughters voice. I was obviously triggered. It stopped as soon as I went outside I noticed.
I wake up to slight palpitations as well again now. Strange how things fluctuate. You cant fool the mind. Feeling agitated I went for a cycle ride on my own down an urban cycle path that I always wanted to explore.
I think this is going to be a long term thing for me. Its at a manageable level now though.

The British way ?
It happened before I could even stop myself... Once again someone was waving their arms about at me as I drove past. Often its accompanied by shouting and an indignant angry face. Last time this happened an instinct kicked in so quickly that I stopped my car and reversed back up to the couple who were complaining and gesturing me to slow down
" Now whats the problem " I said to them in a calm voice.
" You were going a bit fast " They replied.
To which I answered " I live here and I wont have a visitor telling me how fast I need to drive through the village "
She replied equally calmly though a little surprised " Oh, alright then "
As I drove off I thought what a civilized exchange it was, and how it could have been so much more unpleasant.
Whats surprising here is that I had backed up before I had even thought about the situation. I guess I was " triggered " as they say. Anyway I felt better after standing up for myself and not just driving on as usual.

Stop me if I'm wrong...
Just now I let out a manic laugh. It wasnt in jest, it was a response to the awful news subjects I / we have been fed in the UK. This week saw 3 people stabbed and killed by a man in Nottingham. He than ran over another 2 men in a van, one of whom may not survive his injuries.
This was followed by a trail finishing of a couple tortured their child to death and drowned him in a bath tub. Two children have been murdered this week by a woman other than their mother. And to cap it all a double murderer is scheduled for release, and his surname is Pitchfork- seriously ?
This country is a failed state. Oh, I forgot the British girl shot in her back garden in a town in France as she played on a swing. The rest of the family were shot but survived. They were having a BBQ. Suffer the children. " There will be no rescue, your children will be crushed at the gates " Thats a line from the Bible and it really sums up whats happening right now.
Vigils are taking place Nottingham now, but they will solve nothing. Things will go back to normal. Of course the assailant was black. Usually they are an illegal asylum seeker form somewhere like Syria. From places we bombed on a feel good mission to improve the world. The man was also caught on CCTV trying to climb through a window to get into a hostel for vulnerable people. Thankfully someone heard him and punched him causing him to fall out backwards. What would have happened if he had made it inside ?
The news is so bleak its almost darkly comical. I mean are we meant to / can we deal with this onslaught with a calm straight face ? Mean while the sun is still shining and the world goes on.
Update - this morning a head of Police Standards has been charged with raping a child. Seriously ? Somethings terribly wrong and there is an element of overkill in each story, and its all routine.

What a man ?!
I watched Trump leave court on the TV news and then call into a famous cafe. It was the best half hour of entertainment ive experienced for a while. To not bow to adversity, to use a bad situation for his own free publicity made me more than admire him. What man could pull that scene off ? What man can withstand the media onslaught and a federal court and still politically continue his simple message. No wonder people like him. The lovable rogue.

This is going to end in trouble
Ive only suggested up until now that I may be the cause of some objects moving when they should not, but this week I think it goes far further than that. In fact the force maybe very strong as two incidents that happened below show. I think I can rule out " coincidence " now.
Incident one happened with some relations who ended up holidaying with us, and thats a contorted story on its own. Ive been involved in fitting a new door to my car in the last few weeks, and its turned into something epic requiring two cousins who both struggled to help me fit it ( strip lights are cracking ) and it became a bit of a joke, me and my door or doors.
Anyway while on holiday I was in my cousins mini van ( thats an American phrase lol ) when I started to look at the door hinge of the passenger of the vehicle side where I sat. Noticing how strong the hinge mechanisms were and I told him how over engineered they looked. He then opened his door and exclaimed he couldnt believe what had just happened. His hinge had snapped. He immediately blamed me in jest and then after thinking a while, not as much in jest but rather in an annoyed way as what else could he think ? I mean coincidence just didnt seem to cut it.
Incident two happened this week. I was on a tractor moving some branches I had cut off to let more sun into our garden. I noticed my old car door propped up against a wall and it was in the way. I asked my wife to move it, but as I opened the tractor door and was halfway out there was a loud bang which jumped me. Again a hinge support had snapped at the exact moment I said the word " door ". That really rattled me as the force to snap the part was quite extreme. I just could not believe this had happened again.
What is the force limit here for telekinesis, intended or worse unintended ?

But is this really why ?
95 % of what i drink now is bottled water. Ive developed a taste for it and the subtle taste now excites me in a satisfying way that the cordial Ribena used to. Why do I drink this anymore ? I ask my self this question, and its only that I remember drinking it while not well recently. I associate it with those dark times and part of me questioned whether it was to blame in my darkest hours. Im scared to start buying it again as I feel like a different person now a days to then. Now im getting tempted just thinking about it, but its high sugar content maybe was a bad thing. I dont know.

Well Summer has arrived, sort of. This is our 3rd week of dry sunny weather. The ground is starting to crack already. The hills are starting to look very dry as well. Every day is wall to wall sunshine. Even though it is June the dry weather has the land looking less of a full on green of June and rather the appearance of the colour that is usual for the end of May. Its unsettling. The air is yet to soften, and the wind is coming from the east, and its chilly still in the shade, but hot in the direct sunlight.

A tale of two cottages
Booking our holiday accommodation has not been a smooth process. In fact its been convuluted. I discovered a few days before we set off that the house was right beside a busy road. I panicked and booked another more suitable one which was a stroke of luck on a bank holiday during school half term. So I had paid for 2 houses. Oh,dear.
Having a " spare " house I asked some relations if they fancied a cheap getaway as I would only charge them half price to get some money back on what would over wise be a waste. They said yes. Result then ?
Unfortunately we got a phone call on the evening they arrived to say the house was filthy, dust everywhere, dog hairs in the beds and covers and what looked like a human muck stain on the sheets...Urgh! Anyway they came to ours for the night and we messaged the owner telling them exactly what state the house was in. They replied a cleaner had just been in, and accused someone of sleeping in the beds after they were " cleaned ".
The moral of this is that I must check any holiday accommodation location on Google earth, and be aware that photos in promotional material may not be recent at all.
This has not spoiled the holiday. Its added a bit of drama and amusement. We are asking for a 50% refund as a total one was rejected. Im not holding my breath.
Gotcha !
Visited a castle today with my cousin. A girl came over and asked him to undo a bottle cap as it was too tight. I just laughed and said " Your gender stereo typing " She replied " I didnt want to do this " with a sheepish look on her face. The girl she was with grimaced as she rubbed her face uncomfortably. She looked rather butch...

This has me wondering
My therapist is nervous when I visit. He cracks his fingers, and yesterday I told him to stop quite abruptly but in a nice way. I dont tolerate this habit. My wife does it, my daughter sometimes, and a few friends often. Even the primary school head master does it and I will tell him to stop it one day. I will not keep quiet about it. Its a stupid pointless habit.
Why is he so ill at ease ? Another person I know who sees him says he has not seen him do this once. So whats making him so uneasy about me ?
I had the thought to sit for an hour in one session and say nothing. In doing so I might reveal a lot in just the expressions that would be exchanged between us. The idea is intoxicating because of it absoluteness.

Its simply happening right now. Its actually happening.
The nearest city hospital is seeing a spate of heart attacks. So much so it is affecting ER waiting times which are averaging 8 hours or if " another " cardiac arrest comes in nearer to 10 hours. Living a sheltered back water I have been waiting to see the evidence for a while. Of course you wont hear it on the news, just through first hand anecdotes from the man on the street.
