Health abounds where beauty surrounds ?

 Considering I live in the middle of nowhere there are a constant stream of ill people. Flu seems rife despite the low population. It has got so bad that Im avoiding things like my daughters school play and the church carol service, and I still have contracted a damn bug. If you choose to attend an event there is the risk you will have a price to pay. It could be a nasty one, but worse is the fact you cant predict what others are carrying.

I obviously dont feel as bad as last December, but it reminds me of that horrible time.

I think the problem is the growing population moving here from the south. They have visitors who spread the bugs. The population is no longer solely " local "

A full circle

 I have a profound feeling that ive come a full circle in these last 12 months. It hit me like a wave yesterday. A sense of normality is returning in my mood, and with it the anger of the inevitable December bad luck sequence which started again this week. My car key fell in bits stranding my wife who was borrowing one of my cars because hers was in the garage. My daughter fell down the school steps. The dryer has broken and a slurry scraper has broken, again. Everything is happening again.

Its a simple fact that " You can change the words but you cant change the tune ". These December events are an eternal tune. Only how I react to them matters now. There is also a bad " flu " bug going around the valley. I really hope this is not going to be a repeated pattern for me as well. It sounds like covid but people are calling it flu. Hmmm. When we want something to vanish, in desperation we change its name. I predicted this would happen. It had to.

My daughter said I should lock myself in a cupboard until after Christmas....lol

To put it very bluntly ?

 The goal posts represented womans genitalia. Harry Kane, England captain missed the essential penalty knocking us out of the world cup because subconsciously he was thinking of the gay agenda he and his awful football team are so publicly keen on supporting.

How can a team that starts the game taking the knee in an image of defeat and submission go on to win ? They should be aligning themselves with archetype or traditional masculine images, not those  of minorities. They are however a reflection of modern Britain. Of course all this nonsense came from the USA. What a world wide embarrassment.

Pyscho pass the parcel....

 Ive just got home after a really fun afternoon at my inlaws, but I must admit that a certain game of pass the parcel took an odd turn. For starters my mothering in law used a ticking toy bomb for a timer. It is used in anther game usually. Why not use just use Christmas music ?

The second oddity came when my sister in laws husband threw the parcel at me hitting me on the chin quite hard. He wasnt laughing. When asked why he did it he replied he didnt know why, but it felt good ! Weird. When I threw some screwed up paper at him in  " jest "  a few minutes later it hit him in the face, but he showed no emotion at all, nor a flinched. He has always been robotic in a worrying sense. I see serial killer every time we meet....

Later the parcel slipped out of several peoples hands during the game. My mothering in law said its the worm inside. When no one reacted she said it again. What a horrible thought. I was rather rattled by it.

A fun afternoon with some very odd moments. 

Ive also noticed that my sister emotionally unsettles me before crushing me in a card game. Its a double whammy and I dont like it one bit. It makes twice as annoyed when I loose. She is visiting this Christmas day so no doubt there will be much to post about...lol

Nostalgia

Im bidding on this retro bike light on ebay. Its incredible the amount of childhood emotions that are captured or unearthed again upon seeing retro objects, especially torches again. Those dark winter nights with the wind in the tree tops, and snow on the ground. Of course the lights then were not LED ones as of today. They gave a dim yellow light and ALWAYS needed new batteries. But thats the charm of them. Just a dim yellow light in the blackness, and a childhood spirit that reveled in the fact.

 

Electric

 December 1st - parents tv switches itself on, my tv switches itself on, car windows both wind themselves down over night. Oh, and an electric pole is renewed at road end. Im learning...
