31.01.2021 A bit of a zombie outbreak.

 ~~

Sunday 31st 29F, bright sunshine again but with 1-2cm of snow lying. Walked to the lanes and was dressed too warmly again. A salt spreading lorry passed. As did quite a lot of traffic. I had left half an hour later than usual. A few Chaffinches and Bullfinches in the roadside hedges. A single shot from hunters and then silence.

More EU zombies have been demonstrating against the "false rumours" that there is a pandemic. Give them all simple jobs in Covid wards with biohazard symbols tattooed on their foreheads.

More Danish zombies are returning home from foreign holidays via Hamburg, on the train, to avoid detection, testing or [inconvenient] quarantine. Tattoo their foreheads with biohazard symbols.

More US, right-wing, <cough> journalists are claiming that Biden is coming after them for supporting Chump. All this fake paranoia just for being overpaid and corrupt, neo-fascist, fake news, press retards? Give them all their well-deserved, Darwin Awards, swastika lapel badges and signed posters of Goebbels.

Trillionaire, lifetime dictator Pootin has wheeled out a pretend, fall guy for his billion dollar palace. Seriously? He has not convinced the incredibly brave demonstrators. 4000 arrested so far. That'll be what they claim is democracy in Russia.

30.01.2021 Such a todo about nothing at all.

 ~~

Saturday 30th -5C/23F White frost but clear. With sunshine on offer. Even a light, northerly breeze to add to the chill. I'm going to try my usual walk today. 

I was warmly dressed as clomped off towards a slightly dog-eared, full moon. The low, blinding sun had only just risen at my back. The sky was clear of cloud except for a little on the far horizons. A few chaffinches and sparrows formed silhouettes in the roadside trees and hedges. One or two distant gulls. 

Traffic was lighter than usual. The neighbour's dog was barking after yet another, freezing night outside. Unprotected against the chill while guarding against every sound which might just be the big bad world encroaching. Others need a dozen insecurity lights to protect themselves 24x367 against the bogeyman.

No ill effects but I had to remove my gloves and hat for the last leg. I was becoming too warm. That was about it for today's excursion. I had some more exercise in the garden later.

 

~~

29.01.2021 Too much exercise!

 ~~

Friday 29th 28F, cold, overcast but dry. There is still white frost on the ground in the shadow of the house. No walk today but I have been busy outside getting lots of exercise.

 

~~

28.01.2021 Sly "Plague" Jinping releases WHO team from custody.

 ~~

Thursday 28th 29F. A white overnight frost. Freezing weather forecast well into February. Still recovering from my latest bout of dizziness. I'll try a short walk today. I dressed up warmly and managed my usual, 40 minutes round trip to the lanes. Traffic quite busy today. Few birds.

Psychopathically selfish, Danish youth is travelling to closed down Austria to ski and to party. They are using the ruse that they are seeking temporary work in the ski resorts. Which are, of course, all closed down. So there is no work to be had. A local mayor suggests they all go home. I'd suggest they face a fortnight's isolation in a guarded hotel, at their own expense, on their return. Only when irresponsibility costs these zombies dear will they change their broken mindset. 

A fit and active 22 year-old Dane is making the local headlines after a month in hospital with the Jinping Plague. Including over a fortnight in intensive care. He was a non-smoker, didn't drink alcohol and practised martial arts. His brother had only a headache after also testing positive. You can never predict how the Jinping Plague will affect you. Whatever the statistics might say.

The EU's Jinping Plague vaccines have already been paid for by the EU taxpayers. It is now being suggested that the promised vaccines may have been sold off to a higher bidder. Which means many months of waiting to vaccinate many, "lower risk" citizens. Not ideal as the risk of a third wave looms and public resistance to lock down increases.

Danish hospital bosses have ensured they have been given the vaccine. Months before they would normally stand in the very long queues and months ahead of front line personnel. I wonder if these were leaders of the same hospitals which had vaccine and virus testing services via the same hospital entrance? Who is being vaccinated? The most vulnerable in society. Sharing space indoors with the potentially infected? Right.

Meanwhile the Danish Prime Minister is threatened with a  court case over her handling of the Danish Mink mutation. The situation looked dire with major hot spots of local infections around mink farms. 

She "recommended" the culling of all infected mink as the mutated disease spread rapidly southwards towards major cities. With the potential for alarming numbers of people becoming infected. Global headlines were  knee jerk banning all Danes from entering their own countries because of the feared mutation!  

Simultaneously, Denmark has just been awarded equal first place [with NZ] for lowest, national official corruption by Transparency International.

Now, with perfect hindsight it is claimed that she had not the legal authority to order the culling. How a civilised country like Denmark can question Her authority during an unprecedented global emergency remains a mystery. Except to them, of course. 

Then you look around at those inside and outside the government coalition. Who are reported to place every possible hurdle in the way of public safety. Demanding to open up society as wave after wave of new infections and massed deaths crash across other nations' newspaper headlines. All of those less fortunate to be without the Danish PM's steady leadership.

Personally, I'd suggest that the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, be given the highest award available to mankind for her superb handling of the pandemic. Perhaps a new Nobel Prize for quiet humanity in the face of overwhelming odds?

Evil, lifetime dictator, Sly "Plague" Jinping has finally released the WHO team from enforced custody. They were supposed to start interviewing local people about the cause and start of the pandemic. Cynics will note that they are likely to be chaperoned by gangs of Chinese secret police. Freedom to talk candidly? Yeah right! 

Not to mention millions of Chinese going home for their New Year. Nice one Sly! You have just given China a second license to start and cover up yet another pandemic. Whenever it suits your corrupt, sociopathic, economic and geopolitical ambitions.

~~

27.01.2021 World Leaders? Seriously?

 ~~

Wednesday 27th 36F. Overnight snow seems to have cleared by this morning. No walk today. I am recovering from another dizziness attack late yesterday afternoon. Worse than ever this time. With all the symptoms of Menièr's.

Trillionaire, lifetime dictator, Sly "Plague" Jinping is ordering his 100% controlled Chinese media to spread rumours. Of a US origin for his 100% failure to contain the Virus at Wuhan. Meanwhile he is desperately hampering progress for the WHO team's investigators. A negative test result isn't good enough for Wuhan? Seriously? The team is to spend 14 days in  quarantine. While Sly's local Germ Warfare Centre continues to be cleaned up, demolished and rebuilt as a luxury, old people's home for retired, life-time dictators. Meanwhile, all possible witnesses are made to vanish. Probably to the Uyghur Salt Mines. For a little, gentle, re-education.

Trillionaire, lifetime dictator Pootin is making sure that protestors are being brutalised to ensure his reign of terror continues. He is terrified that his lifelong campaign against dissent will weaken. Leading to his own downfall. Probably from a golden, curtain rope from his Black Sea palace. To end his alpha male swagger, dangling from the nearest, Kremlin, gold-plated lamppost.

Donny "Baby" Chump's wealthy, Republican Brownnosers have closed ranks to ensure Their Grate Leader is not prosecuted. For treasonous encouragement to riot against the <cough> elected government. His Republican Brownnoser henchmen are terrified of losing their seats on the perpetual gravy train [or worse.] If Chump's armed supporters should get the slightest whiff of disloyalty to Their Great Leader. What a way to run a dictatorship!

Boris "The Clown"Johnson can now lay claim to his share of the responsibility for 100,000 Jinping Plague deaths. Self praise is no recommendation for a job as Prime Minister. Or, any other.

26.01.2021 Biden wants 645K Teslas?

 ~~

Tuesday 26th 31F, mist clearing. White frost. Some sunshine is threatened. Despite feeling rather unwell I pushed myself to walk my familiar loop. Up to the forest, climb the steep tracks and then descend to the next village. The frost and slight mist had softened the landscape. A beautiful sky was tastefully brushed with orange, gold and silver in turn. I saw several birds of prey and three deer.

Ice loss from the top and bottom of our 3rd class planet is accelerating. 

Biden wants to swap 645k, filthy, disease causing, government vehicles with EVs [electric vehicles.] Can the US still afford so many Teslas? What will all those mechanics and dealerships do when they are no longer needed? How will job hierarchy v vehicle choice be managed now? How do you measure V8 cu. inches in Teslas?

What about the fossil manufacturers who still have no electric vehicles ready? Will their fossilised, mismanagement directors be "let go?" Will the Monsters From the Tar Pits now pay their bought men a fat pension instead of fat, tax-free bribes? No of course not! Their paid scum no longer has value to the 1%.

The BBC warns against re-forestation actually doing harm. Big Money must be slavering over the chance to fell natural forest to replace it with countless miles of harvest [profitable] timber. To "save the planet" and all at offshore, tax-free, tax-rebate, taxpayer's expense of course. 

Examples of individual pioneers bringing forest to "impossible" situations exist right around the globe. This, despite local corruption and landowners placing every obstacle in their path. Even murdering them with impunity.

What is the point in replacing the felled Rain Forest with Big Feed, palm oil production? Then replacing that with profitable Big Timber production entirely at public expense?  Dunno. Better ask the sociopathic 1% who run our world. Into the ground.

 

~~

25.01.2021 Business as usual.

 ~~

Monday 25th 33F, another grey day. Overcast and misty. Now 8.15. I'm waiting for it to become light enough to go for a walk. 

8.50: The forest up on the hill was completely invisible on my way out. Drifting into view on the way back. It has turned into a cold but pleasant morning with mostly blue skies and a low, blinding sun. The mist still adding character to the familiar landscapes. 

The large bird of prey was in its tree again but retreated to the far side of the next field. No dizziness today but I was very careful about violent head movements. Traffic almost normal. The wind turbines must have been running on battery power. Turning briskly on a virtual westerly despite not a breath of air to be felt on my face. 

Internet speed [guaranteed to be over 200Mbps] is down to between 70 and 80 again. Just as it has been repeatedly over the last year. Should I stop guaranteeing to pay for my 200Mbps service if I don't get it? I could pay by the reduction factor of 75/200 = ...? Do you think changing my standing order to 1/3 of my monthly payment would be acceptable to them? Or should I raise another false advertising flag?

Talking of false advertising: googleAdvertising.monopoly.blogspot.con has returned the "quick edit" button after several days of its absence. Their <cough> support forum <cough>  kept closing threads on the subject. Just another technocockup at the iMonopoly.money printing office.

There are reports of zombie outbreaks burning effigies in the streets of Europe. Demonstrating against Jinping Plague lockdown measures allegedly. Or is it just that their drug dealers are struggling to deliver? Or their need for alcohol poisoning in a social setting, is being denied to them? They should try demonstrating against Trillionaire Tzar Pootin the Truly Awful. 

Pootin's eternally blighted Russia would probably welcome a few more zombie extras. They have sociopaths enough already. So you probably won't get a visa on the strength of your symptoms. Not unless you immediately sign up for the police force or judiciary. Even here competition is fierce. You won't need to learn the language. Just the ability to swing your batten hard enough to draw blood from an old lady's head. With a bonus if your act of bravery can be caught for Kremlin TV News. The Russians keep having nightmares about going to Hell. Then they wake up and discover they are already there.

 

~~

24.01.2021 Throwing a bit of a wobbly.

 ~~

 Sunday 24th 34F, overcast with a grey, misty day forecast. I became dizzy on my way back from the lanes. That was a first but I made it home safely. The large bird of prey was in the same tree on the pother side of the field. It dropped down to join the few Fieldfares.

~~

23.01.2021 Not a lot.

 ~~

Saturday 23rd 36F dark, overcast and slightly misty. A quieter, grey day after the gales. Just a walk to the lanes. A cool breeze as the sun fought hopelessly against the low cloud. My jacket was left open to avoid overheating despite the 35F temperature. I spotted a large bird of prey in a distant tree. White front and dark above. Three geese passed very low overhead. Hugging the contours of the landscape. The traffic was much lighter this morning.

 

~~

22.01.2021 Amanda Gorman for next President!

 ~~

Friday 22nd. Overcast and windy again. Early rain is changing to sunny periods. Depending whose rumours you choose to believe. A walk to the lanes in a keen south westerly wind and dodging the tyre spray. The lorries were trailing a dense cloud 20' high by 20 yards wide. A few crows and magpies out on the fields. Or holding their trees down.

Amanda Gorman. More powerful words in a few minutes than Adolf "Baby" Chump in several, tedious lifetimes. Can you imagine a Brownshirt Republican politicooze putting the people and the planet first. Nah, I can't either. 🙄

 

~~

21.01.2021 Finally! There is an adult in the White House.

 ~~

Thursday 21st 43F, severe gales and rain forecast for most of the day. It rained on me, on and off, as I pushed against the wind. Few birds but plenty of traffic and spray. The gales kept up all day with fierce and noisy gusts at times.

~~

20.01.2021 Wind in the willows.

 ~~

Wednesday 20th 42F, very, very dark. Rain is promised all day long. The threat of thick fog has evaporated. Looked outside. It is pouring down and blowing a gale. No walk this morning.

 

~~

19.01.2021 Shades of grey.

 ~~

Tuesday 19th 37F, dark and heavy overcast. South-westerly breeze. With cloud and rain expected for most of the day. It was dry overhead for my walk to the lanes under miserably grey skies. The traffic was light but generous with tyre spray. The birds few and far between.

~~

18.01.2021 Not a lot of snow.

 ~~

Monday 18th 32F, heavy overcast, misty, with a thin dusting of snow. Walked to the lanes. Not much to report. A couple of birds of prey flying away. Rain at 11.30 as temperatures reached 36F.

~~

17.01.2021 Kamikazi Mallards!

 ~~

Sunday 17th 29F, partly overcast with a light easterly breeze. An orange glow around the horizon. I walked up to the woods and back along the marsh in bright sunshine. As I was photographing half a dozen mallards on the only clear water a flock of ducks arrived at high speed. It was hilarious watching them dive down. Only to slide half the width of the pond before bumping into the reeds. 

I should have tried video but didn't have time to remove my heavy mitts and change the camera settings. Though I had no trouble taking lots of landscape photos while wearing my mitts.

I spent the rest of the day outside working on a project.

~

16.01.2021 A chilly Saturday.

 ~~

Saturday 16th, 20F, [-7C] clear but with some cloud. The coldest night for three years. A dry, sunny day is promised but remaining cold. The landscape had been smoothed by universal frost providing a sage green wash. Mist hung photogenically in distant hollows. 

My old Lumix TZ7 was showing a huge black spot in the middle of the screen! More fluff! Had I known it [the landscape] would be so pretty I'd have taken a "proper" camera with a long lens. 

The blinding sun became steadily more obscured as long stripes of cloud passed over. Which took half an hour to clear again. A column of smoke, or steam, went up. So I walked to the top of the hill to locate its source. Definitely steam from a distant, industrial site. A couple were walking their dog on a low hill two fields over. Leading to a remarkable reset of all sense of scale of the familiar landscape. Not many birds were visible today.

Spent the day working on a project in the garden despite the cold. I was pleasantly warm as the sun came and went.

~~

15.01.2021 Better check the Chumps' removal lorries!

 ~~

Friday 15th, dark overcast and 30F. A run of colder weather is promised. Possibly down to -12C in places. Whatever that means in Olde Money. A few scruffy dregs of snow lingering. It felt far colder than usual on my walk. A northerly wind pressed my jacket against my chest. A few Fieldfares were foraging on the popular, roadside field. Water poured from a field drain. Traffic light but variable.

I hope the Washington police are checking the Chumps' removal lorries for pilfered goods. Don't be surprised to find historical Blankes Haus antiques and original artwork turning up on eBay in a couple of weeks. With any luck the originals were hidden, for the duration, to avoid the white trash "royal family," from helping themselves. 

Given their proven lack of morals we could be seeing the extended "royal family" portraits at Mars on Lagos "Pay'n'Putt". All posing, like vampires, on the original, Blankes Haus dining chairs. Or even the "royal couple" grimacing on the Munroe Chairs at the 19th hole?

Doesn't it make you wonder why Chump hasn't changed all the Spanish sounding names of his Pay'n'Putt resorts? To something more in keeping with his overt racism. What about Putteplatz 1? Or Prutteplatz Zuerst? 

~~

14.01.2021 White Trash dossers finally evicted from Blankes Haus TV Room?

 ~~

Thursday 14th 32F, another grey day in prospect. Though no snow is forecast. Just a light dusting of overnight snow on the ground as I walked to the lanes. Saw one female Kestrel, another unidentified BOP, a couple of crows and a Tesla.

The white trash despot, dossing in the Blankes Haus TV room, is heading for a luxury, 5 star, lunatic asylum. An effortless plea deal to escape lifelong imprisonment and Brownshirt Republican Party embarrassment. For being too cowardly to rid themselves of the global menace years ago. Would they have impeached Chump if the mob had slaughtered a few of their own "kin."

No doubt the lifelong, Republican, gravy train passengers are all terrified of a Chump loyalist executing them and their entire families. Probably using their personal, TV promoted, signed and gold plated, matching AK47s. While the "Chump disloyalists" are all lined up on their immaculate, 5 acre, mansion front lawn. The whole proceedings to be streamed live on Infantile Twatter no doubt. 

Meanwhile the backlash continues as big business distances itself from the Extended Family From Hell. The New Reality is also rapidly spreading to their greasy cohorts, lobbyists, ambulance chasers and Federal Cleaners. The massed graves of sacked personnel must litter the Blankes Haus Lawn like some weed-infested, run down, out of season, Disneyland, putting course. It's no wonder the hired, red-neck, mole catcher could never find anything in his traps! He thought it was a conspiracy!

~~

13.01.2021 Thank you "Fromage!" The cheesy, Brexit, ventriloquist's dummy.

 ~~

Wednesday 13th 34F, a mixed, wintry outlook. Feeling a bit stronger today.

A walk to the lanes with gales roaring in the trees. Rain was followed by blizzards of large, wet snowflakes blowing across the fields. Yet again, the forecasters are not in agreement.

Broxit: It seems my earlier warning about the expense of buying goods, online, from the UK, was hugely optimistic. 

A £10 T-shirt will now cost £37 delivered in Denmark by the time Danish VAT and customs collection charges are added. 

BE VERY CAREFUL about ANY purchase from outside the UK. The UK sales website may try to hide the hideous truth from EU buyers! If the goods originally come from China then expect to pay even more charges! I can't imagine eBay[UK] or Amazon{UK] will be selling much to the EU in future. Not once the headlines begin to hit the EU press. 

No doubt the same customs and taxation rules apply to secondhand goods and even family gifts. Only items below £8 will not be charged. Keep crowing about your great victory, Boris [The Clown.]  I wonder if Boris uses Chump's fake news script writer? Or does he just plagiarise? 

The expats living in Spain are waking up to a hideous new reality too. 3 months maximum stay? The less well off are selling up now. Because they don't have the massive, minimum income requirement to be a self-supporting resident. What about health insurance? Now multiply Boris' fake news victory for every member of the family!

I just hope there's room for all the Ex-pats coming back to the UK. If they can! Just make sure that all your family members have the right to UK residence! You could be in for one hell of a shock! Does your British bank account still exist? Many lost their lifeline as the British banking sociopaths closed up shop for EU residents. Too much of Boris Paperwork to make you worthwhile holding onto! Only foreign money launderers and shell company, property investors hold any interest from now on.

What about obscenely inflated UK property prices? It won't be much fun dossing in a single, council estate garage, or wandering homeless, in the wintry UK. Not after your cheek-by-jowl Costa sunshine bungalow joins the endless Spanish property market queue for vanishing Ex-pats! Costa Ghost Town anybody?

Spain is going to catch a very nasty cold too. Unless the 360,00 Ex-Brits can be quickly replaced. Don't forget you'll need that foreign lingo if you want to go truly native! Your daily visits to the familiar British Pub [pub británico] and Los Greasy Chipper [astilladora grasienta] may soon cost you incredibly dear! Hablas español, matey? Thought not.

~~

12.01.2021 Stayin' alive.

 ~~

Tuesday 12th 31F, almost calm with clear skies. Another bout of extreme dizziness and vertigo during the night. This morning I have recovered better than with previous episodes. Though still far from normal. Mostly I just dozed in an armchair under a stack of duvets. 

~~

11.01.2021 Redneck rioters failed to topple Elysium.

 ~~

Monday 11th 39F, dark, overcast and raining lightly.  Milder, but rain is forecast for the whole day. Wind driven rain accompanied me to the lanes. Aided an abetted by the horrendous tyre spray coming off the speeding lorries, vans and cars. A few, damp gulls and crows pecked at the field.

How does a septuagenarian, Republican politicooze face their third, child bride across the 30' long, ivory and Mother-Of-Pearl inlaid, Anigre, breakfast table? In their sprawling mansion full of slave memorabilia. Its walls, thickly adorned with endangered species, hunting trophies. Answers, on an election ballot, to Brokeback democracy, Washington, DSA.

 

~~

10.01.2021 Bit of a non-event.

 ~~

Sunday 10th Jan 32F, heavy overcast and windy. Rain later. Spitting in the cold wind as Red kite went over. Slicing into the headwind on stiff wings. A pair of gulls were circling aimlessly over the usual, roadside field. Pretty Bullfinches foraging in the hedge. Traffic light. It has started raining now that I am safely home again. I do enjoy my morning coffee. With high fruit content, orange marmalade on lightly toasted, wholegrain rolls.

 

~~

9.01.2021 Atmospheric cloud.

 ~~

 

Saturday 9th 34F, 8.00, can't see a thing outside, through my dormer window. I'll let you know. The front window shows "atmospheric" cloud and a crescent moon. Orientation favouritism? Dead calm so far. No obvious ill-effects from yesterday's exertions. Time for a walk before I start setting the world to rights.  

It snowed, then rained and then drizzled before brightening up. Even a few brief flashes of sunshine betwen the clouds. A bird of prey remained too distant for a decent snap. Two magpies were chasing each other. Fieldfares dotted the field between the cautious mink gulls.

~~

8.01.2020 Insubordinate snow!

 ~~

Friday 8th 32F, heavy overcast. A little snow lying evenly and decoratively. I have returned to my "normal" self this morning. The forecast is dry but grey. So it is snowing lightly but steadily. Don't you just hate insubordinate snow?

The wet snow kept up for an hour and a half. As I walked up to the woods and back the other way in my old, familiar loop. I took 105 wintry pictures and saw four deer. A Kestrel was hovering quite high near home. My old, Lumix TZ7 zoom and focus motors are misbehaving. Perhaps it's the cold?

Prehistory, Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Medieval, Renaissance, Technological age, Advertising Age of Decline, Human extinction by Amazon's sociopathic AI. 

A fourteen mile ride in driving sleet to collect the packages. Which the GLS driver was too lazy to deliver. He lied and claimed there was nobody at home. A truly amazing performance in remote scanning for life signs. Particularly, considering he left his tire tracks over 100 yards from our gate where he made a U-turn in the drive. Should I tip off the Guinness Book of Utterly Pointless Records?

Outside the shop I struggled to fit my mask while wearing the GripGrab medieval scull cap under my cycling helmet. A kind lady asked if I needed a mask. But I finally managed to find my ears after all. They were just where I had left them. 

I tried wearing an old pair of winter training, cycle trousers with rubberised legs. Resulting in my leaving a trail of black, rubber crumbs on the floor indoors and out on the snow. The trousers went straight into the dustbin on my return. I'm a martyr to inbuilt obsolescence and rubber-nibbling, ozone predators.

A lady deer broke cover from the woods on my left. Dashed across the lane right in front of me. Then bounded off into the far distance. Silly dear! 

~~

7.01.2020 Chump in charge of the asylum? Seriously?

 ~~

Thursday 7th 33F, overcast. No walk today. Feeling unwell again.  

 

~~

6.01.2021 Snowing?

 ~~

Wednesday 6th 34F, cloudy and frosty with snow due. It could be 6" or it could be sleet.

8.30am and it has been snowing for a while. Though with little impact so far. Perhaps half an inch of the white stuff evenly spread. Snow shovels and boots are at the ready. Just in case they are needed later.

9.00 Snowing harder now and sticking to everything. I have been denied snow clearing because of my [still] aching back. I'd better have a walk now if I'm going to. Anything to avoid sitting here rattling on about some political trivia. Like the end of democracy in America.

A walk to the lanes in my big, winter boots. My jacket was plastered in wet snow by the time I returned. A small flock of Fieldfares retreated from my lumbering self. While I retreated to the back of the verge every time a vehicle approached. Just to avoid them having to take to the white areas by having to drive around me. Everybody was driving sensibly. The roads were mostly white. With fresh, dark tracks only appearing with each passing vehicle. There seemed to be no shortage. With lorries, vans and cars in equal number.

2020 was the first year in recorded history in which Denmark did not have a single day when it remained below freezing. 

13.00 Delivery driver too lazy to bring parcels to the gate. There was so little snow on the drive I could walk along in ordinary shoes. No boots required. To see his tire tracks doing a three point turn at the junction. Lies, damned lies and parcel van drivers. Now I have to risk life and limb collecting the parcels from a drop-of shop on snow covered roads.

Chinese Dictator Sly "Plague" Jinping is blocking WHO experts access to Wuhan to research the origins of the Jinping Plague. An open admission of guilt? Like all evil dictators he does seem to be hyper-allergic to the truth. 

The snow remained too wet to accumulate. I had a scrape around with a snow shovel just for the exercise.

~~

5.01.2021 Let's be VERY careful out there!

 ~~

Tuesday 5th 34F, sunshine promised again. Snow for tomorrow. Which probably means snow today and sunshine all day tomorrow. A walk to the lanes under a heavily clouded sky in a thin, north easterly wind. While a bright orange strip clung [only] to the horizon. I walked to the top of the hill to see the grey, distant sea.  

I complained about the weather forecast website when they changed it for the worse a while back. Once it was possible to see the entire day's weather at a glance. Rain, wind, temperature, sunshine and cloud cover. Then they changed it to a series of meaningless, horizontal columns. Everything had to be clicked on or scrolled down or nothing was shown! A nightmare to check THE WEATHER and a complete, visual mess. I assumed [cynically] that it was an "overqualified, new broom" desperate to make their mark. 

Now [allegedly] they want to be taken seriously. Will guilty heads roll? I seriously doubt it. No day passes when we don't complain about the inaccuracy of forecasts. Our usual comment is that they couldn't forecast last week's weather! We check the independent TV station's weather too. It's not as if you can add the two together. Then take an average between the often, completely different forecasts.

Today's promised sunshine came to nothing. There was a nasty cold wind from a northerly direction.

Governments are tightening restrictions as the pandemic worsens. Stay at home! Your delusions of "entitlement" and invulnerability cost countless lives! 

~~

4.01.2021 Nothing to see here.

 ~~

Monday 4th 32F, A cold day with some sunshine is forecast again. A walk to the village in a cold wind. Saw a large bird of prey retreating on ruler straight, stiff wings. Plenty of lorry traffic today. Little or no sign of the promised sunshine.

~~

3.01.2021 Just another Sunday.

 ~~

Sunday 3rd Jan. 32F, white frost. More sunshine promised. A cat walked along the drive towards me. Seemingly oblivious to my presence. Finally it woke from its reverie and dashed all the way back gain. 

There were some sunny periods after 9.am as I headed for the lanes. Two deer were out on a distant field but retreated at the start of the hunters' gunfire. The large, pale, bird of prey moved away too. Before I could take its picture.  

It felt cold today despite the very light breeze. I was wearing a thin pair of polyester gloves to retain dexterity for camera operation. They didn't help much with the cold. So I kept my hands in my jacket pockets.

~~

2.01.2021 Let there be sun.. and there was.. some.

 ~~

Saturday 2nd 32-37F overcast or sunny periods. Depending on which side you dress. DMI or TV2? That is the question. Too dark and misty to rush out of the door. The mist is still hanging around at 10.am after my return from my walk. A noisy gaggle of geese flew invisibly overhead.

Denmark broke its record for wind energy production by 1% over the previous year. To reach 16.7 terawatt-hours. GE has built a huge, new wind turbine and erected it in Holland. They hope to capture the offshore market by lowering the cost of energy production by means of increased scale. 

Vast wind farms are planned as Big Investment in alternatives grows ever more attractive. Costs have fallen to the point where building dirty, fossil fuel power stations is a waste of money. Meanwhile mega batteries are rewriting the economics of energy production around the world. The batteries store the production from wind and solar for times when it is not available. The storage figures are already colossal and growing by the day. 

Battery technology is a vast and constantly growing investment and research area. Cars already outperform fossil fuels for performance, range, lifetime and energy density per unit of currency. "Solid State" batteries will completely revolutionise humanity and make fossil fuels obsolete. Which probably means the investors will want compensation. For their tax-free, Market losses of taxpayer subsidies.

Chump's loyal Republican Army of Brownshirts attempted to avoid public prosecution for crimes against humanity. By voting down his veto on the Defence Bill. The first time they have dared to defy the Infantile Emperor Nero of Twatter in his last days of freedom. Have they finally seen the writing on the wall of their sprawling mansions?

Remember that crook? He claimed that global warming was a complete hoax. Fake news when his personal investments and BACKERS demanded it. Just like the Jinping Plague was "a slight cold." More fake news? Fake news which has killed vast numbers of very real people.Who were naive enough to believe his transparently subsidised bullshit.

Chump's "Fake news" which has raised the temperature of the Earth beyond every warning level from the REAL experts. Not the Fox News Advertising Bureau. So beloved of The Chump. Until Fox changed its corrupt and heavily subsidised script and upset him.Why don't the cynics question the hideously obvious? But believe every single word of the closely targetted bullshit from the oh, so easily bought, politicooze? 

The 1% didn't just fall out of the sky. They were manufactured by the corrupt political classes. Aided and abetted by their mutually parasitic allies. In the monstrously twisted form of the advertising bureaus masquerading as heavily biased newspapers. 

Why did you think that newspapers are constantly being bought up by Big Money? For their advertising profits? The 1% don't care about the money. They have most of it already. They want the newspapers to spread positive vibes about the obscenity of their tax-free existence at the entire Globe's expense. 

They want praise for their raising global temperatures from their vast investments in fossil fuels and CO2 intensive, energy production. They want a glamorous twist to stories like oil spills and coal mine disasters. The dangers of fracking and other "dirty" but now, completely obsolete industries. 

They want stories about their mass slavery, pollution, poisoning and corruption to be quashed before it hits the streets. They want electric cars to be ridiculed. Because they still own worthless stock in yesterday's, rapidly failing, smog causing, gas guzzling, dinosaur manufacturers.

New Year 2021 delayed until 20th when Chump is safely behind bars.

Friday 1st January 2021. 35F, another overcast day is promised. It snowed yesterday evening. Though none was forecast. It is still there this morning.

About an inch must have fallen. Enough for a neighbour's kids to build a portly snowman. There was little snow left on the ground this morning. Mostly on the verges. The traffic was the lightest ever. I only saw three vehicles in 40 minutes of walking. 

A small flock of bright Bullfinches was foraging on the head-high skeletons of weeds and thistles. A large bird of prey remained frozen to its branch as a smaller bird retreated. Two, Hooded crows examined this year's, first, field floods.

Chump is pushing hard for an insanity plea to avoid prosecution for crimes against humanity. He had to agree to register the White [Trash] House as an insane asylum. Backdated to his official entry to the Fox TV & cartoons room. Where he has spent countless hours, away from the golf course, after the last election. 

Chump was bragging about his genocide of the American people on the BBC last night. So I doubt even the most biased, US judge will find the drooling moron responsible for any of his actions.

It is still unknown how many of Chump's co-conspirators and sycophants will enjoy the same protection. Many of whom would use the "Only Following Orders" routine. To drag out their trials for decades. Entirely for the benefit of wealthy ambulance chasers and at the expense of impoverished taxpayers.

The main  question on the entire world's lips is: Can America learn from this global tragedy, massive financial loss and international chaos? Of electing a raving lunatic and self-proclaimed, narcissistic retard. Whose "policies" were always at the ephemeral whim of a backward incompetent. Ruling the entire world. Like some corrupt, infantile emperor. On short term reaction to the latest sound bite. On Fox's [Neo-fascist] News channel for gap-toothed rednecks.
