Thursday 2nd Jan. 2020. 36F, dark grey overcast, cold, misty and breezy. The garden trees are rocking. Definitely a "hoody" day. (It rained here in the afternoon.)
I wore my yellow safety glasses to stop my eyes being blinded by tears on my walk. I wear the same glasses on my trike in cloudy weather. It makes me snigger every time I see a "serious" cyclist wearing ridiculously expensive, dark glass in overcast weather. The same lemming instinct as you see in every T-De-F during bad weather. Professionals? Yeah, right!
Don't even get me started on the wearing of newspapers for mountain descents. Or team, designer clothing flapping furiously because the exhausted riders had no time to do up the tiny [designer labelled] poppers, at the summit, before plunging back downhill.What part of back to front chest protection don't these losers understand?
New Zealand is enjoying yellow skies and the smell of 500 million, burnt Koalas from the Australian fires over 1200[?] miles away. The media seems unsure as to the actual distance as the smoke flies. Even the NZ snow is turning gold and brown now. Perhaps they will sue Australia for loss of tourism earnings? Australian tourism is already taking a massive hit.
Meanwhile Coyote "AWOL" Morrison is sending the sole Australian, navy [koala coal-fired] ship to evacuate people from the coast. It will need to make multiple trips apparently. Because most of the Koala coal supplies have already been burnt on a New Year's national, funeral pyre in Sydney.
Morrison has been getting a roasting from fire victims. He turned up at destroyed townships to refuel to find all the takeaways had been burnt down. Elsewhere evacuees couldn't fill their cars to join the gridlocks on the roads to safety because of a lack of fuel. With hour long waits to discover no petrol at the pumps you can well imagine tempers flaring in 48C heat. This is known in Ozzy parlance as "A Cluster Fuck[up]!" Or just, another "Morrison."
I have wondered for many years why the armed forces aren't routinely brought into action for real life, work experience in every national emergency. Perhaps their boots would miss the vital spit and polish if they were allowed to escape into the wild?
The British army is spending ex-taxpayer's money advertising that people with low self-esteem should sign up. Is there suddenly a national shortage of victims for closely targetted, forces bullying? The news headlines would suggest otherwise. If this is another case of damage control then somebody should pull the plug before the top brass embarrass themselves [again!]
