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.
