13.12.2020 Cavemen by any other name?

 ~~

Sunday 13th 37F, heavy overcast again. Though with the threat of sunny periods from both forecasters. I'll believe it when I see it! A shambling walk to the lanes. Two birds of prey moved from the ground to nearby trees. The gulls did their usual thing and retreated. 

I exercised in the afternoon by shovelling a trailer load of sand and gravel into wheelbarrows. Then trundling them to where they wanted to be tipped. 

It sounds as if the white trash. Hiding in a US advertising industry, cavemen's newsroom, lavatory cubicle. Is setting up for a civil war against educated women. I don't know how he can preen himself in the lavatory mirror in his habitual, designer caveman's outfit. I wonder if he was related to the other lavatory caveman of the same name? I'd suggest their mothers would be proud... if only they had one, to rub together, between them.

12.12.2020 Divided States of America came 57th!

Saturday 12th 36F, the heavy overcast continues. I can see the trees rocking in the wind again. There was only a light breeze as I plodded to the lanes. Nothing much to report. Apart from being closely brushed by a people carrier speeding past a cyclist on the other side of the road.

Denmark, The UK and Sweden are in the top three of 57 countries nearest to matching their Paris Agreement climate change promises to improve. Immigrant, Adolf "Retardus" von Chump's DSA came last out of all 57. None were listed in the first three because they all fell well behind their promises. Green technologies promise countless new jobs in a new renaissance if fully implemented. 

Toyota promises an all electric car with a rapid charging, solid state battery, next year. While Citroen's Ami is an unusually small, electric car aimed directly at city dwellers. The two seater has a top speed of 30mph and limited range to keeps costs down. The interiors are spartan and the seating described as firm. The EV still lacks affordable contenders for the traditionally, secondhand car, buyer's market.

11.12.2020 Constant grey skies setting a new weather record.

Friday 11th 34F, dark grey overcast. Again! The last time it was this bad was back in 1959 and they still had 8 hours of sunshine in total for December. Waddawewant? Our SUN! When do we want it? NOW!!!

9.00 A flurry of snow quickly turned to rain. Neither was forecast. Time for a walk. It kept up the wind blown, fine rain all the way there and back. I was grateful for my hood but would prefer a little more chin room. The mink gulls did their thing and quickly retreated in random directions. They have this survival lark down to a fine art.

There is a roaring trade[sic] in pig's diarrhoea. With vast tanker lorries racing between factory farms and needy farmers. I crossed the road several times to avoid their horrendous, tyre spray and acrid stench. The Jinping Plague has left wider gaps in the traffic. Allowing me greater freedom for my daily perambulations. Provided I keep a wary eye [and ear] out.

A couple of maniacs were having a race in their cars. They passed me at high speed. Engines screaming and their cars straddling the entire width of the road. As they approached a completely blind hump. With double white lines, for miles, in both directions, prohibiting overtaking. The Danish government has just raised the penalties for "insane driving."

I have finally trimmed my beard. I was getting tired of seeing Robinson Crusoe whenever I glanced [guiltily] in the bathroom mirror. Though Tom Hanks never quite achieved my "badger" look of hirsute adornment. In his own, relatively short bout, of self-isolation.
