mastodon 4.5.6

I have had a rich working life that I would now like to forget. I write and I like to help writers too (really).

I live in Yorkshire and love walking. Have hiked the UK #CoastToCoast, #HadriansWall and the #ClevelandWay plus others and #trekked in China, Nepal, Vietnam & Morocco.

I have macular degeneration and want to make the most of my sight whilst I have it, so I like to paint, photograph & follow artists & photographers.

Seize the day for the days become shorter.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

Courtesy Nena and the English version of 99 Luftballoons

Enjoy knocking balls around with your racquet thing Mr President whilst the world burns.

In the Ramtop Village they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock they wound up winds down until the wine they made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested, (until their line of succession is terminated). The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their existence. Terry Pratchett Author (With additions)

@markn@mastodonapp.uk When they first suggested a renovation of Parliament (at much less than it's actually costing, of course), I wrote to my MP and said... more or less... use it as an opportunity to modernise, create a distributed Parliament with superb ultra secure communication between hubs with top notch technology to allow close to real get togethers/meetings and then... open the Palace of Westminster as a tourist venue, using revenue earned to pay for the place's upkeep. I told him that it would bolster some of the UK's important industries too, namely communications and security. You can imagine what he said... and it wasn't positive. So here we are. Nowhere!

where we can no longer
tolerate the opinions

so we find ways to silence

Magic Happens when you put 13 children's authors together - the result: "I Want a Crocodile and Make it Snappy", a collection of children's stories and poems.

Prepare to laugh, be inspired and conjure up a cauldron of magic to stimulate a child's imagination.

We're pleased to donate all profits from the sale of "I Want a Crocodile and Make it Snappy" to our chosen charity Clapa, supporting families affected by cleft lip and palate.

Perhaps you think if you don't work for someone else you'll starve. Maybe you are right. Just check in every 6 months or so to insure that starving is not preferable.

@davidallan@mastodonapp.uk Oh, I remember that well. We lived in Edmundbyers when the kids were young and our doctor was in Stanhope. My wife had pneumonia in the winter one year and we had to traverse the moors on an icy (but not snowy that time) evening, kids in the back. Scary! What I do remember is that we had snow every winter of the years we lived there.

@MartMichaelis@mastodonapp.uk The ignorance of the ruling elites who think they can defy the laws of physics by dictat is beyond the pale. They'll probably survive the climate disaster in their air conditioned temples but who will feed them, clothe them, entertain them, etc, when the world is too hot or too tempestuous to sustain life outside of their bubble. Imbeciles is too weak a word to describe them. They have my contempt for what it's worth.

Apparently America is the richest country in the world. Most people there seem to get so little of value from that huge pot, yet they think they do. Go and figure that out. Whatever they might say, I love living in Europe and am happy to pay more for better defence to maintain our quality of life.

I'm involved in a half term event for children and parents at our local library Wednesday with the theme 'How Animals Survive the Winter' and I have a craft activity where kids make a hibernating bat (it hangs upside down, as they do). I'm also going to read some stories to them from Joseph Murphy-James's Dingle Valley Series, the second book where Charlie Crow fluffs up his feathers against the cold of winter (another survival strategy). If you want to read something to the kids, I can recommend Joe's novels. #MoodMonday #Reading #AmReading #Children #Books

So, here in the UK an entitled brat formerly known as Prince and a decent guy who happens to be a rubbish Prime Minister will probably fall on their sword over the abomination that is the dead sex-offender. Meanwhile, the ones who should be brought to justice continue to wield power and influence and earn their billions, swatting away the truth of their actions. There is no justice, only the law and (as always) it does their bidding. #Epstein #Justice

Oliver Cromwell's Speech to the Englsh Parliament 20th April, 1653. "It is high time for me to put an end to yourbsitting in this place which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue and defil'd by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew & enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches who would, like Esau, sell your country for a mess of pottage & like Judas betray your country for a few pieces of money, Is there a single virtue now remaining amonast vou? Is there one vice vou do not possess? Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes, have ye not defil'd this place & turned it into a den of thieves by your immoral principles & practices? ¥e are arown odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd so in the name of God unlock the doors and go!." Courtesy Memory Lane

@CartyBoston@mastodon.roundpond.net Aw indeed. What a sick man he seems to be if this stuff is correct. Happiness is ephemeral it's true, but it IS an emotion that is satisfying to feel. If he never feels it, that's sad; he should try harder.

I have had a rich working life that I would now like to forget. I write and I like to help writers too (really). I live in Yorkshire and love walking. Have hiked the UK # CoastToCoast , # HadriansWall and the # ClevelandWay plus others and # trekked in China, Nepal, Vietnam & Morocco. I have macular degeneration and want to make the most of my sight whilst I have it, so I like to paint, photograph & follow artists & photographers. Seize the day for the days become shorter. He/Him

@bbcnewsfeed@mastodonapp.uk Must See? Come on, it's just the darlings patting themselves on the back (but some of them did show backbone wrt the REAL news of the insanity that is America now).

@jockr@mastodon.social Life affirming. Or I found it that way. The weather was atrocious for half of the journey - heavy rain and mist and bone chillingly cold - but I am still so pleased I did the walk.

The end of my Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk in 2013 at Robin Hoods Bay, dipping my toes in the North Sea to mirror my last encounter with the sea in the far west, then in the Irish Sea. #SilentSunday #Hiking #CoastToCoast #Trekking

To the tune of... oh, you got it.

Imagine there's no Brexit
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to lie or cheat for
And no corruption, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You-oh-u, may say I'm a Remainer
But I'm not the only one
Hope someday you will join us
And Eeu-urope will be as one

#Imagine #BrexitFolly #Remain
