31.10.2021 The "filth" parading as "our leaders" at COP-out 2.7C.

 ~~

Sunday 31st 51F, dark overcast and breezy. The clocks went back. So it ought to be an hour lighter. It's not. So where do I queue for my refund? 

A walk to the lanes in quiet Sunday traffic. Still borderline cool in a breeze. Not quite gloves and winter jacket weather as temperatures remain mild.

"The filth" used to be a derogatory term used for the police force in Gravely Blighted by the criminal element. Suggesting, perhaps that "dirty behaviour" was the norm.

I think the term would be better suited to those uniquely deluded sociopaths. To whom we loosely apply the term <cough> "our leaders." Particularly where climate change is concerned. You know, the same ones who still subsidize diesel and coal soot to the tune of billions of taxpayer's money. This, despite the decades of well known, negative effects on health and climate.

We all suffer from that special form of democratic, absolute dictatorship. Where, once elected, the majority party leader instantly becomes all-powerful. Quickly surrounding themselves in highly paid, unelected, brown noser, "personal advisors." 

So that The Great Leader becomes ever more isolated from reality and responsibility. One might have thought other elected party members might have something to offer, but no. They were elected on empty party promises, after all. So what can they possibly add to the sum of falsehoods being manufactured at the top?

Any [completely false] assumption that a party's empty, election promises have any real meaning, has long been totally disproved. You choose "a face" based almost entirely on hereditary class memory and little more. Many don't even bother to vote. So they may well get the leaders they deserve. Though one can well understand their increasing reluctance to elect these clowns and tyrants.

Our social control and guidance systems are utterly fucked screwed. Nothing tried, so far, from tribal chiefs to royalty to communism to fascism, has ever worked in the interests of all. Scandinavian, social democracy worked for a while. Then personality, inequality, corruption, open immigration and greed took over. Erasing all memory of the benign social systems which went before. 

These northern nations still lead the globe, by miles, in every standard which matters. Though ironically it is still oil [and coal] which support the remaining, social fabric. It's just a shame that only the offshore, foreign money launderers can afford property in the cities. Leading to impossible commuter loads on the inadequate transport systems. As front line workers must travel into the cities from more affordable regions. A more unfair and skewed system of organizing a nation's  housing and living conditions would be impossible to imagine. The pollution, noise, wastage, stress and CO2 loads beggar belief.

30.10.2021 Sucker-burger's [brain] dead.advertising.con.

 ~~

Saturday 30th 48F, heavy overcast with a pink blush in the east. Rain is promised.

A walk to the village with the low sun moving in and and out of the clouds. A slightly chill wind at times but hardly a hint of the winter to come. Saw and heard several pheasants. Geese high overhead. Crows being crows.

You thought the Jinping Plague was bad news? I believe I have discovered the real reason for dead.ADVERTISING.con's name change from facebook.ADVERTISING.con: 

Once immersed in tax-free, BIG-TICK.ADVERTISING's AR or VR it is impossible to turn off the adverts. Sucker-burger's AI will overcome every attempt by puny humans to avoid His advertising.

Sucker-burger stole the idea from youtube.ADVERTISING.con. Where even a back click won't silence a screaming fit advert targeted at retarded infants. And, where the sound level has been turned up by ten points. To absolutely ensure His global PTSD victims' rapt attention. 

They used to call this "aversion therapy." Where the victim would be repeatedly shocked when negative images were shown to them.

No doubt Sucker-burger has been researching Guantanamo torture techniques for tips. He obviously can't waterboard dead.ADVERTING.con's victims into making purchases. So he has to find other ways to damage them into buying the Chinese re-labelled tat his ads offer. 

Can you even imagine being immersed in Sucker-burger's endless nightmare of DV? [Dead [uni]Verse for the creeping, brain dead victims of His advertising]  Is there a word for a global, big-tick dictator? Tyrant? Genocidal maniac? Serial, predatory sociopath? These terms seem so inadequate for describing his countless, tax-free crimes against humanity. It is no wonder he suffers from delusions of grandeur!

29.10.2021 [Brain ] dead.ADVERTISING.con is the laughing stock.

 ~~

Friday 29th 46F, clear and bright once the sun rose at around 8.30. Light winds but cooler.

A walk to the lanes with detours. Slight mist again. A couple of flocks of geese went over. While high flying planes were dragging short-lived, vapour trails. As many as four visible simultaneously to the south. It was a cool but sunny day. The wind spoilt it.

 
facebook.ADVERTISING.con is to change its name to dead.ADVERTISING.con. The terrorists, fascists, pedophiles, crooks, bullies, drug dealers, misogynists, propagandists and other, lower achieving sociopaths, will all have to update their contact links.

28.10.2021 October follows September with another temperature record.

 ~~

Thursday 28th 52F, overcast and very dark. Some sun is threatened for later. After several days, at the "Guaranteed" speed, Waoo Internet is down to half the "Guaranteed" speed. It makes a change from countless months of 1/3 the "Guaranteed" speed.

A near two hour walk to the far woods. I was hoping to capture the autumn colours. 

Another record: Warmest October night at 11.5C minimum nationally in Denmark, since records began 148 years go. Only last month was another record warm night set for September.

Now both China and India are opting out of cutting CO2 from coal in the short term. 

So, here's an idea: If any country won't cut back on CO2 then ALL their exported products should attract a Carbon Tax at point of sale outside their borders. 

VAT, or its equivalent, is already foisted onto every sale in Europe. So adding a Carbon tax, based on country of origin, shouldn't be too hard to do. Nations can be lumped into Carbon Bands. Make it a two way process. Charge defaulting nations a Carbon Tax on all sales to them. Remember to add the Carbon Tax to weapons and so-called "defense" sales too. 

Renewable Energy sources [Wind and Solar] are now much cheaper than coal and gas. So there is no excuse for continuing with these dirty sources. Except for the lack of investment in the changeover. Huge savings are possible with Renewables in the long term. Not to mention improved air quality.

27.10.2021 google.ADVERTISING.con makes 80% tax-free profit from advertising toxic waste and diarrhoea.

 ~~

Wednesday 27th 55F!?! Another very heavy and dark overcast. Windy again. It has rained overnight.

Just another walk to the lanes. Too mild to notice the wind.

Thanks to Jinping Plague google.ADVERTISING80%.con made a vast tax-free profit last year. These sociopaths have totally fucked up YouTube. But that's aliens for you. Not an ounce of humanity, humility or empathy to be found.

26.10.2021 Is Climate Change a Crime Against Humanity?

 ~~

Tuesday 26th 49-52F, very, very dark. Dull start, with rain, is supposed to brighten to sunny periods. 

8.00 Overcast and becoming breezy. Time for a walk. It was cool again as the sun struggled to break through the pretty clouds. 

Published plans to cut CO2 will result in a near 3C increase in global warming. I think it safe to say we must kiss our collective arses goodbye. 

I am beginning to see a pattern. No Carbon Tax. No taxation on the ultra rich. No taxation on the corrupt and filthy rich, tech companies. A whole, separate [Offshore] economy. Which launders trillions in dirty money per year. Aided and abetted by corrupt banks they make cities around the globe too expensive for any but their own tax-free kind. Leading to global commuting from cheaper properties. Which are spreading like a cancer around a nucleus in many countries.   

Trillions in taxpayer's money is being paid globally to subsidize oil, gas, coal and the manufacture of internal combustion vehicles. None of the legacy car makers are serious about EVs. Making endless attacks on Tesla. As the ICE dinosaurs desperately try to undermine the global tsunami of interest in Tesla cars. Nobody wants "just another EV" from these crooks. They only want a Tesla. Now decades ahead on almost every front as the ICE dinosaurs fight dirty at every turn. Self driving "autonomous" vehicle are already ten times safer than human drivers. While the Tesla software is still in its infancy.

The cost of "unnatural" weather is already costing trillions. Droughts, floods and hurricanes make daily headlines. No month passes without a weather record being broken somewhere. 99% of the world's population breathes air which exceeds WHO pollution standards. Coal fired plants are undermining the health of billions. Literally millions die, every single year, directly from air pollution. Which is now blamed for a wide range of increasingly common, health problems. Including heart attacks, strokes and dementia. Add in the burden of consuming billions of tons of long lived, plastic waste particles now found from pole to pole. Even in the deepest ocean trenches and thousands of miles from what we loosely call civilization.

Advertising pollutes our every waking moment. There is no escape from still and moving images pushing dangerous, short-lived tat. Much of it mass produced by slave labour in Asia. Then sold on with different labels. As if only the label held any intrinsic value. 

As Chinese billionaires constantly increase their fortunes the cost of manufacture increases. Where will our economic tyrants build their labeling factories next? Africa? South America? Where is the next pool of abject poverty which can be abused for a tax-free profit? Where the rules to protect workers from danger, pollution and exploitation even laxer than China's? If Apple coated its products with furs, instead of human sweat, flesh and blood, there would be an outcry. Fluffy animals are sacred. "Foreign" workers are dehumanized trash.

Never mind "The 1%." Our planet is clearly being run purely for the 0.1%. Are they really, evil aliens? Trying to terraform Earth to their own comfort standards? Or just more genocidal sociopaths imitating human beings for private profit? Your typical dictators, investment bankers, tech company [mafia] bosses and royalty.

Climate crimes against humanity? Racism against African, Asian and South American populations? Was Jinping Plague deliberately released to thin out those countries least likely to afford a vaccine? Are they trying to cut down on the need for Social Security and Health Care. Or, more importantly, climate compensation for crimes targeted precisely at highly vulnerable, impoverished populations? 

Is the coming AI/Robotics revolution a threat against the 0.1%? That they might have to pay pensions to those laid off from their mega, sweat shops? Or are they already planning vast, concentration camps? To contain the billions of low skilled, ex-workers once they have no further value?

25.10.2021

 ~~

Monday 25th 40-52F, clear and bright but becoming cloudier. 

The breeze was cold on my hands as I strolled to the lanes. A woodpecker chirped as it flew overhead. Then landed in a tree just ahead. A vertical twig rather spoilt my several efforts capture its likeness. Digitally zoomed and cropped.

24.10.2021 COP26: The climate clock is tipping.

 ~~

Sunday 24th 45F, overcast and breezy. Where is our promised sunshine? 

This dandelion clock hovered within inches of the roadside. Seemingly impervious to the blasts of speeding traffic.

The sunshine finally arrived at 12.15.

 

 

 

 

 

~~

23 Oct 2021

23.10.2021 Sunshine?

 ~~

 Saturday 23rd 40F, sky clear, tobacco filter in the east.  Wall to wall sunshine is promised.

Another walk to the lanes and beyond. The westerly breeze was cold on my hands but went unnoticed on the return journey. The gibbous moon hung high in the west. I snapped away as the sun crept over the horizon.

22 Oct 2021

22.10.2021 COP26. The world's greatest cop out.

 ~~

Friday 22nd. 43F. Windy again. I can hear that it is raining heavily. The deluge continues. Too dark at 7.20am to see anything.  Still rather dark at 8.10. The forecast is for yet more, continuous rain. I am hoping for a break on the radar to sneak a walk in. I am waterproof but that's not the point. It just isn't much fun having the rain driving in your face. 

I managed a twenty minute walk in the dry before the rain started again. So I turned around and headed back home. The BMW/Audi crash test dummies were practicing for the Danish land speed record in a linear car wash. I took to the verges repeatedly to avoid their tire spray. Not a single photograph today.

The list of dictators and corruptly elected <cough> leaders not attending the COP26 banquet is growing. More time for all the other liars and losers to talk complete and utter bølløcks.  

"Psst! Wanna buy a load of fighter jets? Need tanks? Missiles? Anti-protester drones or sonic weapons? See me in my sales office. Don't worry. We can launder Climate Support and Development Funds. No problem!" 😉

21 Oct 2021

21.10.2021 Abandon Earth now!

 ~~

Thursday 21st 50F, heavy overcast with heavy rain. It is supposed to be windy but it is dead calm at 8.10am. There have been some heavier burst of rain already. With yet another heavy rain warning in the forecast. Expected to clear in the afternoon. As it did yesterday after 17.00. More rain tomorrow.

I managed a 40 minute walk when there was a lull in the rain. Confirmed by a gap in the clouds on the radar. Everything was a bit soggy. The fallen leaves making it seem even more depressing.

Another, huge, information leak has reached the news media. This time about negative lobbying by the genocidal, coal and oil abusers. They wanted all mention of climate change removed from the latest, IPCC "Climate Change" report. The managed to ban any mention of dropping of meat or urgency required in reducing CO2.

Not sure why they bothered because bugger-all will happen at COP26. A few, pompous speeches. Riddled with deliberate lies and oil-subsidized propaganda. Then it's straight back to normal. Not that it matters anyway. China's genocidal, lifetime dictator, Sly "Plague" Jinping, is turning up the heat on his 19th Century, coal-powered economy. 

It won't peak for decades as his billionaire cronies build their stately homes. All based on copycat, Victorian style, slave labour. Does Rolls Royce Motors make an EV yet? [BMW promises their first RR EV in 2023!] That is really going to make a dent! If BMW hasn't gone broke by then.

Meanwhile coal and oil production will soar globally in the next decade. India is also a coal powered economy. They have a rising standard of living despite continuing, widespread poverty and slavery. The slave drivers will all want shiny new cars to replace their asses and oxen. So they can all a sit in their traffic gridlocked dystopia. With their petrol powered AC running flat out!

20.10.2021 Boris The Clown has another Bad Hair Day.

 ~~

Wednesday 20th 57F, dark, windy and wet. A heavy rain warning. I could hear the rain as a steady roar from indoors. A day of inactivity and cabin fever. It tipped down for hours.

Boris The Clown is offering nuclear power stations to combat CO2 production. All of which will take years to build. With endless delays and obscene overruns on costs. Not to mention the massive CO2 footprint of concrete and other building materials. Then there's the CO2 from the building work itself. Plus transport and millennia of maintaining security over a large area of No Man's Land.  

Britain enjoys highly favourable wind and wave conditions. Record tidal flows and immense, daily variations in sea water level. Meanwhile the Jinping Plague continues to threaten as Boris The Clown denies any responsibility for fumbling the initial outbreak. Nor having any plans to combat the growing threat.

Remind us all again: What are Boris The Clown's qualifications for leadership during the worst crisis in human history? The Perfect Storm of Jinping Plague, Climate, Mass migration, Broxit, Pollution, Waste, Micro-plastics, Species loss, Shortages, Energy price inflation, Inequality, Global Monopolies, AI, Robotics, Terrorism, Global Transport disruption and fragile infrastructure, city house price inflation, Offshore, tax-free greed and corruption. All these seem to be beyond his inherited superpowers as an upper class twat. 

The natives are getting decidedly "uppity" right across the globe. True leadership is so sorely absent that dictatorship, protest and extreme weather conditions are becoming the norm. Not just for a few in some far flung "foreign land" but for billions of very real people. 

Populist, wannabe-dictator Chumps are selling their snake oil to those desperate enough to be told what to do. Democracy, as we know it, seems to have no real answers. A series of attention seeking narcissists parade themselves as squeaky clean saviours. They rule their own roost for as long as the wind blows in their photo-op favour. Until their unseemly, untold history finally hits the global advertising media. As just more scum rising to the top of the global, political sewer. 

Now there is even talk of Sly "Plague" Jinping losing it. Or even losing power. As his crooked and hideously unequal, economic system crashes around his ears. Rolling power cuts while he commands parents to ensure their children are fully brainwashed with Communist Whitewash propaganda! The lifelong, genocidal emperor has no new clothes.


~~

19 Oct 2021

19.10.2021 Very, very dark.

 ~~

Tuesday 19th 51F, very dark overcast. Still quite dark at 8.00am. Walkies!

It became lighter as I walked to the lanes. Even a teasing sun between the clouds. Thin mist softened the landscape. I saw a deer and a pheasant at close quarters. Neither seemed to know what to do. So they just stood there. Until I moved. A huge flock of geese went over at low altitude. Too many to capture in one picture. The traffic was light. As befits a national autumn holiday.

18 Oct 2021

18.10.2021 AI + AD - CTD = 0?

 ~~

Monday 18th 51F, overcast and raining.
9.00am. No walk so far. 9.40 And there was one. It lasted 35 minutes and it was good. This, despite being able to hear and feel the soft but steady patter of rain on my jacket hood and shoulders. 

I took to the verges whenever a crash test dummy approached. Many CTDs are programmed to remain within the double white lines on the straights. Regardless of obstructions to normal progress. Things like cyclists, young mothers with pushchairs, pedestrians and other inanimate objects. But, the CTD will unwaveringly cut across the double white lines on every corner/bend. Even against oncoming traffic. Such that the double white lines are soon erased.

I keep wondering what will happen when AI takes over fully autonomous driving. Will special "exemptions" have to be invented to match the habits of the local crash test dummies? Will AI slow vehicles to a safe braking distance on blind corners? How will they [CTDs] make up the lost time? The AI won't let them speed along every straight as they do now.

Overtaking usually rewards the crash test dummy with the "advantage" of gaining only one car length. Elapsed time for the journey remains completely unaltered. Will AI consider the huge risks and [usual] illegality of such maneuvers as permissible? Or just another defect of human behavior to be copied? 

The world's media analyzes every single AI vehicle crash as if evil in-car-nate was the underlying cause. Though, usually, the CTD is entirely responsible. Meanwhile the CTDs manage to achieve death and destruction on the scale of warfare. Without the slightest attention of the media.

17 Oct 2021

17.10.2021

 ~~

Sunday 17th 44F, dry and calm but overcast. Expected to remain so all day.

A walk to the lanes. Grey, rather dark, sightly misty. Indifferent light made for indifferent pictures. Quite a lot of traffic for a Sunday.

A ride to the shops returning with about 75litres of shopping.  The 40 liter bag was stuffed to the gills. With three, large, cloth bags hanging over the top from the seat post. 

It was lucky I had inflated the tires to 90psi before I left. The trike wanted to do wheelies as I reversed it out of the cramped cycle rack. The supermarket had stacked display pallets far too close to the rack. About ten miles in all.

 

~~

16 Oct 2021

16.10.2021

 ~~

Saturday 16th 44F, overcast. Sunny periods promised. 

Today I walked down to the village. Then took the exit as if to head for the woods. Then took a spray track uphill, across the prairie. To capture new vistas form the opposite side. 

Where I was rewarded by sunshine washing across the rolling landscape. No obvious wildlife but the scenery was enough in itself. The autumn colours are still rather muted. Though leaf fall is well underway.

15 Oct 2021

15.10.2021 Heat pump? Join the [endless] queue!

 ~~

Friday 15th 48F, overcast with early rain clearing. It did, up to a point, with lots of blue sky, but left all the clouds bunched up in the south and east. With precious little sign of the sun. A cold wind took the edge off any risk of overheating on the way back. 

Where do crows go on their vital errands? There is a constant stream of birds going in random directions. They will often veer around me before continuing on their missions. The threatened sunshine arrived after 10am.


There is an acute shortage of components and months of waiting time for heat pump installations. Yet again China fails to supply. The Western World exported vital manufacturing jobs and centuries of accumulated research and development to [genocidal] Sly "Plague" Jinping's coal-powered [lifetime] dictatorship. Anything the rest of the world does now is utterly pointless. Jinpingland will undermine any CO2 reductions elsewhere. As will India. Not that many of the [so-called] democracy's "climate" election lies have ever been adhered to. 

Consumer energy prices are climbing handsomely. Which might actually cause a slight reduction in consumption. Pootin is laughing all the way to his offshore banks.  All good news for the climate regardless of the politicooze classes, bullshit claims. 

Will there be solid gold toilets provided for those coming to the exquisite banquet in Glasgow? More hot air than you need at a Bristol Balloon Festival. Not so much "blah, blah, blah" as a global TV farting contest. A serious, global, carbon tax? Not on your life! It would affect their next elections if the promise of endless growth was derailed.

I hear Coal Wizard Wotsizname from Oz is now attending. He doesn't have to say or do anything. Nor will any of the other bullshitters present. They haven't done anything so far. So why break the COP habits of a lifetime? COP26 null points but the gathered Michelin chefs excelled themselves yet again!

The attention seeker, who brought down almost the entire field in the T-de-F with her placard, has been sentenced to four months in prison. Several riders had to leave the race after the crash because of their injuries. The T-de-F organizers chose not to sue the woman in a civil court. 

Had they sued her they might have started a precedent for suing every deranged lunatic in Europe. At least those who managed to reach the course without being arrested "for their own safety." What kind of raving fuckwit wobbles obscenely uphill, for a few yards, beside the world's elite riders? Whom are usually climbing one of several, whole mountains while riding hundreds of kilometers in total on the day. Answer: A deluded and mentally retarded, attention seeker.

14.04.2021

 ~~

Thursday 14th 47F, a cloudy day with possible showers is promised.

There was occasional weak sunshine during my walk to the lanes. I saw two distant deer crossing the lane and disappearing through a hedge. Crows and pheasants pottered about. It has become darker now. With solid, grey cloud.

13 Oct 2021

13.10.2021

 ~~

Wednesday 13th 33F, calm, overnight frost. Some mist in the hollows. Sunshine promised for a couple of hours before cloud takes over. 

A longer walk [1.5 hours] up to the woods via the edges of the fields. The bright sunshine inspired me to capture hundreds of photographs. Three hundred and forty one to be precise. 

I saw four deer grazing on a freshly mowed field. They looked up but then went back to enjoying breakfast.

I wasted most of the day dismantling the old water heating system. The iron pipe joints inside the wood stove were rusted solid. Even with a three foot pipe as a lever they wouldn't budge. Not even with penetrating oil and couple of hours to soak in. So I had to resort to the hacksaw to get several pipes apart.

12 Oct 2021

12.10.2021

 ~~

Tuesday 12th 39-52F, calm and clear but waiting for the promised sunshine. 

And so it was. Wall to wall sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. 

I tried to snap the low sun but it was a disaster. Dust bunnies all over the pictures. Everything visible in silhouette.

It remained sunny all day but was never very warm.

11 Oct 2021

11.10.2021

 ~~

Monday 11th 46F, clear but waiting for sunrise. 

Clean, grazing sunshine and a cool SW breeze for my walk. A solitary bird of prey went over. Probably a kestrel.

Here is a refreshingly intelligent channel on YouTube:
He deals with international approaches to cycling in cities.

10 Oct 2021

10.10.2021 A bit of an early ride.

 ~~

Sunday 10th 40-52F,  cool and bright but very cloudy. No walk yet. Because I rode to the shops instead. Several cyclists out training. Some cars with racing bikes on the back going to an event. I tried to keep up the revs but my knees were slightly painful. Probably too much crouching on an outdoor project I am working on. My knees have been hurting on the stairs. Still, it was good to get out on the trike again. The landscape in the sharp, early sunlight was gorgeous. It has clouded over now. The fields and air were dotted with a mixture of crows and jackdaws. Sunshine in the afternoon.

~~

9 Oct 2021

9.10.2021

 ~~

Saturday 9th 45F. Mist again. Though more decorative than troubling for the crash test dummies.

In fact the mist became much thicker by the time I had escaped through the gates. Down to 100 yards/meters in places. The cold, white disk of the sun was visible at times. Briefly brightening to a moderate glare. 

As usual, I amused myself by counting the number of rear fog lights. Or rather lack of them. It is entertaining to see the brake lights come on for a corner. Only for the car to vanish the instant the lights go off again. With a fog light showing, the single, red light carries on well into the distance. But everybody knows this already. 

The sun came out eventually. It just took more time than I was prepared to sacrifice.

8 Oct 2021

8.10.2021 YouTube to reward conspiracy theory viewers with NO ADS!

 ~~

Friday 8th 48F, thick mist again. "Promising" promised for later. 

Only one rear fog light amongst the many vehicles which passed me. Speed, as normal, despite the poor visibility. After a few crash test dummies veered away at the last possible moment I spent more time on the verge than on the road.

Sunshine in the afternoon. Though still with lots of cloud.

___________________________________

YouTube is to richly reward conspiracy theory viewers with NO adverts. Please can we have more conspiracy theory garbage? Spread it thin and we can all start watching creator's videos. Instead of YouTube's advertising garbage targeted only at the mentally retarded. Can I sue them for trying to dumb me down [like the BBC has for decades.] 

Isn't that precisely what advertising is for? To produce a malleable [brain dead] voter and deeply indebted consumer. All of whom cannot afford to lose their utterly pointless jobs. So will vote for the populist candidate every time, accept slave wages and North Korean working conditions. Offer them free Kleenex to wipe the drool from their chins and you'll get their vote every time.

7 Oct 2021

7.10.2021

 ~~

Thursday 7th 42F, thick mist!  Clearing slowly.

The mist cleared steadily as I completed my familiar walk. The crash test dummies were busy. Fortunately speed limits are not compulsory in thick fog. Nor is it a requirement to use rear fog lights. Nor even headlights. Bright sunshine at 9.20 with only patchy, low lying mist left to admire. 


Imagine a life so empty. So utterly devoid of meaning. That it can only be measured in the intensity of their hatred for people and things.

6 Oct 2021

6.10.2021

Wednesday 6th 52F, heavy overcast.

The sun showed itself at around 09.00. Still very cloudy but better than overcast! Traffic fairly heavy. I was sprayed by several lorries.

5 Oct 2021

5.10.2021 Fake news?

 ~~

Tuesday 5th 52F, cloudy to overcast. Wind lighter. A stroll to the lanes. 

The wet arrived later in the afternoon.

It was with considerable irritation that Denmark has claimed the widest availability of high speed internet amongst the Scandinavian countries. They obviously aren't monitoring the ACTUAL speed.

Rather than that supposedly "GUARANTEED" by Waoo the most popular Danish ISP. I have been paying the full price for 200Mbps. Only to receive an average of mid 80s Mbps for over a year now. 

More Fake News? No. Waoo's "GUARANTEED" speed was only false advertising.

In real news: The world's richest 1% have seen an increase of 40% in their tax-free wealth despite the general suffering of humanity in general. The news is full of these obscenely rich crooks using tax havens and buying luxury properties using crooked methods. Something has to change before the world goes BANG!

 

~~

4 Oct 2021

4.10.2021

 ~~

Monday 4th 52F, cloudy with a cold wind and watery sunshine. The sky was speckled at first but marred by numerous vapour trails. Then a dark band of rough cloud crossed the northern sky. Just as two patches of wave formations became visible. It was soon more and more smudged as an overcast took over. It is expected to remain so.  




~~

3 Oct 2021

3.10.2021 YouTube completely unwatchable due to advertising.

 ~~

Sunday 3rd 58F, mild, but gales and rain! For most of the day. It remained dry for my walk to the lanes. The wind was very strong in places but the mild 60F made it seem harmless. 

I saw a white, cream and buff bird of prey take off from quite near the roadside. It made a sharp turn behind a copse and was gone from view. The crows and gulls seemed rather unsettled. From vertical take off they would instantly accelerate to 30mph downwind. Struggle to exceed a walking pace into the wind. I haven't seen a swallow for several days now. Chaffinches are congregating in large flocks. While a female kestrel was hovering over the road. Seemingly oblivious to the traffic.

One might have hoped that the advertising would have improved since the "educationally challenged" potato stamped ads of commercial TV, but no. 

All of YouTube advertising seems to be aimed solely and uniquely at the "educationally challenged." Embarrassingly so, for those of us who are not "educationally challenged." Or whatever this week's PC term is for the deliberately, walking retarded. Aka: google.youtube.advertising.con's clueless, obscenely overpaid executives and its obscenely compliant, deep, brown-noser, staff.

2.10.2021 Discontinued again.

 ~~

Saturday 2nd 53F, heavy overcast, breezy, possible rain. It was spitting lightly as I walked to the lanes.

Shopping in town and village in the car. I am still the only one wearing a mask.

Since coming to Denmark it has been a struggle to find good quality wholemeal bread. There has been a search, to find a replacement, when the previous choice is discontinued, again and again. I have been enjoying wholemeal rolls for quite a while. Now they too have vanished from the shelves.

Ist October 2021 Windy and wet.

 ~~

Friday 1st October 50F, heavy overcast, windy and wet.

An hour and three quarters walk to the far end of a nearby village. Then back by another lane to form a wobbly trapezium. Fighting a headwind going but far more relaxing on the return journey. 

Only a few spots of rain despite the forecast. My winter coat becoming slightly too warm once the wind was no longer in my face. I took my old TZ7 camera. To avoid giving the G9 a free shower. Which greatly reduced my number of snaps.

It is surprising how much more is to be seen on foot. Even when compared to riding a cycle. Driving denies one of most of one's senses. Provided you are doing it correctly. My legs actually feel rather tired now. Which is very unusual. I presume it must be walking steadily on asphalt. Whereas my boots are more familiar with being off-road on my longer walks. Walking on grass and rough ground gives the muscles a much better workout but is not remotely so repetitive.
