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.
