There are many. Among them I would place the fact that tariffs in the US raise a lot of money for the tax office but that money seems to be in the gift of the President. He does not have to go to Congress to ask permission to spend it. I have no idea how…
Gossip
I used this word because I was told three lies (small maybe but lies) about a person and the reactions of others to him and about another colleague and what she said about another woman. I call the person out who lied to me and she shared my email to her with others. The result…
Words Betray
Donald Trump openly said that when they leave so Gaza can be rebuilt they won’t want to go back – why would they? He then says we will make it a seaside destination. He wants the US to have a series of his hotels where so much blood has been spilled in the past decades…
Cars and Charges
I am amazed at how difficult parking is in Cornwall. The locals all used to know all the places to park that were free so they could shop/have something to eat / meet up and over the years more and more such places have been converted to charging. The latest I know about is Siblyback…
John Wilmot
Love and Life: A Song All my past life is mine no more, The flying hours are gone, Like transitory dreams given o’er, Whose images are kept in store By memory alone. What ever is to come is not, How can it then be mine? The present moment’s all my lot, And that as…
Vanity
I was placed in the middle of two angry and arguing colleagues this weekend and one demanded I remove the other from the team. I asked them both for the history of their emails. Bot baulked at the prospect and neither sent them to me. One has now suggested she terminates her work with us,…
A Joke
Dave was boasting to his co-worker one day, saying, ‘You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone. Anyone! And I know them.’ Tired of his bragging, his co-worker called his bluff, saying, ‘OK, Dave, how about Keanu Reeves?’ ‘Yep,’ Dave says. ‘Keanu and I are old friends, and I can prove…
Donkeys
Out of the blue I was taken for a trip to the donkey sanctuary where there are some 50 or so donkeys that have been rescued from all over the world, from slaughter, neglect, abuse and so forth. They are all shapes and sizes and with 40 million donkeys in the world working for people…
Sunshine
Today sunshine and a small feeling of an early spring in the warmth though the air does not yet have that brisance of spring proper. The lawnmower is serviced and will probably only last this season, still for a modern 2 stroke that would be six years service which is par for the course. It…
Same Old
I used to watch David Attenborough films and remember one where they followed a group of Amazonian men hunting through the forest. In one sections, as the men were sitting on the ground, in the round, he said he would translate what they were talking about. When you see such people you have a strange…
