It was the security man at Sainsburys who started it. 'You are a man who brightens a room,' said he. 'Move the beer belly away from the door and brighten this place.' Back home I weighed in at a mere fifteen and a half stones, a mere 217 pounds to some, and I decided he may have had a point. At one stage I was down to fourteen and a half stones, how on earth did it all return? Well, apart from bad, lazy eating habits that is.
So, it is green tea, this time with 'Orange and Lotus Flower.' It remains still an acquired taste, if I am being nice to it... I'm looking forward to my left over 'Pea shoots' and 'Coleslaw.' What more could I desire?
Climate change has been appearing once again. Edinburgh has had sunshine as well as rain, we have sunshine at around 30% and yet people deny the world is changing? Some say the world is heading towards its end, well yes, I have been saying this for some time. Jesus did say the world would only get worse, not better. The earth is broken, and volcanoes, earthquakes, famines, floods and the rest will be added to, and the cause of, the wars that erupt so easily amongst us. Only by holding on to Jesus will we make it through. I suspect however, it may be some time yet, but you never know. That nice Mr Putin may resort to some skullduggery that brings in other nations. The Chinese may have a change of leadership, North Korea may press the button by mistake, and of course Sunak may start a war to win an election. Stay in the shade until then.
This is one of three signs outside our door. The other day the middle one said 'Let Agreed.' Within hours it had been changed back to 'To Let.' I realise a rent of around £800 a month is hard for many, but in truth our landlord is cheaper than others, but so many are having difficulty, even if there is two of them, in finding the money. I can jump to conclusions as to why this has fallen through, but the UK is not the place to go seeking accommodation these days. Houses that are built are only for those who have £400,000 or over, young folks can get no mortgage and some companies are no longer offering them. You can tell we have a Conservative government.
