7.12.2020 Jinping earns trillions as Rest of the World fights over Darwin Awards.

 ~~

Monday 7th 43F. Another grey day in prospect. No walk today. 

An early visit to the doctor to sort out my chronic dizziness. High blood pressure being the main emphasis. Initially my blood pressure was testing high but eventually began to fall. I was practising relaxation breathing on the spot. 

Later testing, at home, proved that my readings were falling to far more sensible levels. Provided, of course, that I rested and applied relaxation techniques for a few minutes beforehand. Meanwhile my underlying dizziness and headaches continue unchanged. Blood tests were also taken with a return visit for the results in a few days.

Denmark's daily infection rate has doubled from a formerly stable level and is now doubling again. So new restrictions have had to be introduced, from Wednesday, in selected, local government areas. 

Our volunteer's shopping list was not taken up for the very first time today. We have been slowly increasing the quantities to catch up with a serious lack of stock on previous orders. 

Guess what? The small sums the personal shoppers are paid for their voluntary work is taxable! The tax office gives away countless billions, completely unchecked, to any slimy crook in the entire world who can manage to fill out the mass printed, VAT repayment form. 

But a voluntary, supermarket shopper, providing a vital, lifeline service for the elderly and vulnerable has to report all such earnings? I wonder if they can claim for their petrol expenses against their meagre "earnings?" Only in Denmark!  How much does each elderly person cost as they die slowly in an intensive care bed after shopping for themselves? They count the pennies and burn billions on huge bonfires. Only in Denmark!

Another online supermarket service had such poor stock levels that it was simply not worth placing an order this time. They use a selected town supermarket, a short distance away. Which has always had a very poor range of Coop, standard goods and NONE of the heavily advertised, special offer items. So, it looks as if I shall be physically shopping, from now on. Despite being in the second highest, vulnerable age group.

Sly Jinping's release of the targetted plague has had precisely the desired and fully expected results. You didn't need AI to see that his crooked, fascist cronies could easily clamp down hard and control the Chinese infection levels. China is now setting new records in exports as the Rest of the World trains hard for the next Darwin Awards. Though how long the Chinese will have paying customers for their goods is open to question. As many countries struggle to contain second and third waves. 

Meanwhile, US war hero, Adolf  "Fuckwit" Von Chump's, heavily armed, white trash is heading for an asymmetric civil war. Exactly as I predicted some time ago. Their problem is being handicapped by learned cynicism about the "harmless" virus. So they will be falling like flies unless they accept the "enemy's" vaccine.

6.12.2020 Jinping Plague negative test result.

 ~~

Sunday 6th 38F, very dark overcast and a bit misty. Breezy too, from a northerly direction. A walk to the lanes to tease the mink gulls. A solitary cormorant went over, like a stealth wotsit, flying straight into the wind.

A sneak look at the Jinping Plague, test results website showed me as being negative. Assuming, of course, that my visit to the testing station in the city did not cause any problems.

In other, Danish headline news, they ran a 50 meter long windmill wing onto the verge. Causing some local traffic problems. 

These wings are so long, strong and heavy that they use them as the structural body of a very long trailer. With only a steerable trailer unit mounted at the tip, far behind the tractor unit. It is the only way to negotiate such loads on the normal roads and motorways. No doubt pre-arranged routes are usually adhered to. The problems involved at junctions are easily seen in this image borrowed from DR.[Dansk/Danish Radio.]

This YT video shows the transport problems of 65m long wings rather nicely: I won't show the video as embedded. Because Googevile-YouTube may post porn or spam adverts in the blog's image box.

5.12.2020 Say: "Aaaah"

 ~~

Saturday 5th 38F Overcast with a cold wind. No morning walk. A bit of a weak and wobbly start to the day. 

Compulsory Covid [Jinping Plague] test in the city at 11.00. Will I become dizzy miles from home? It is a bit of a worry in my seemingly vulnerable state. I arrived there early and hovered out of the way nearby. Just watching progress and checking for paparazzi. Before parking in the official area and queuing inside in the short, red queue. There were only five or six "walking dead" in front of me. With the leader having a coughing fit all over the poor staff member. Oh, deep joy! Fortunately they were facing away from me. But you never know. I snuggled down behind my flimsy mask and grumbled inwardly.

It was all over in about ten minutes. After they were finally able to find me on their computer. A long cotton swab was inserted deep into my mouth by a pleasant but efficient, silver-haired lady in protective safety wear. There was only slight discomfort as the swab was rubbed around my throat but nothing to write home about. 

The befouled pin was dropped into a tubular, freshly labelled vial and then they pointed me at the exit. Job done. Dismissed! I desperately wanted to say that I had come all this way. And wasn't there a free lollipop for being brave?

I should have my results tomorrow [online] in time for the doctor's appointment on Monday. Should I cheat and check later? Hmm.. That would mean two sleepless nights. Mind you, I might have two sleepless nights, not knowing. Eeny, meany...

Despite deepening gloom I went for a fairly brisk walk to the lanes in the late afternoon. The cold headwind, at my usual exit, rapidly depleted my enthusiasm and I returned the way I had come. Dodging drivers with my well-honed skills for picking up deer bugs on the verge. 

I paused to talk to the neighbour's guard dog. Though but it soon became bored and burst into a barking fit. I had only just admitted that, no, I did not have a pocket full of his/her favourite treats. So I could feel some sympathy with its point of view. It is such a handsome creature that I could well see myself walking the damned thing every morning. If only to gain some neighbourhood stature. Well, every little counts when you are a "Johnny foreigner."

I really do need to fix the hood arrangements on my heavy, winter, walking jacket. It has a secondary wind flap which is meant to lie behind the poppered, throat flaps. This is obviously intended for those really adverse conditions in the Scottish Highlands. Where life and limb are always dependent one's blood-alcohol levels. However, it makes swift neck closure almost impossible to manage. Not without several YouTube instructional videos. A decent mirror in good, preferably overcast, daylight. Latent enthusiasm and lots of practice. I do not exaggerate.
