Thankyou all who commented on the last post thats what i like to see a worldwide response of our thoughts on the food situation . Just been reading on another forum how so many are suffering mentally , i will admit that ive cried in a few carparks of late just on the subject of idiotic trivialities that normally wouldnt bother me at all but winter is coming and i get like thaat every year just a little earlier than usual this time , but for most its just been a shitty year fuelled by our idiot media . We wont all starve but things could be a little interesting so dont forget to fund your local foodbank if you possibly can , scurvy and rickets are on the rise nationally something for the government to be proud of im sure , the wee starvelings will fit up the chimneys easier im sure Rees Mogg will find it uplifting as his vast brood continues to grow. I saw some gurning idiot politician moaning that the birth rate is dropping like a stone , really? would you want to be starting a family in these circumstances , Next we will have some non racist member of the government moaning that all the kids that are being born are called Mohammed, Lifes just predictably crap for most , with nothing offering hope on the horizon . The scariest thing ive seen is Iceland offering credit to buy food a few other retailers are doing the same . Oddly i had a really strange You Gov poll asking if i would want the government to offer cost of living loans , no thanks that could turn into a nightmare with them haunting you into the grave , though i suspect it will be portrayed as just for a couple of years while the world gets over Covid .
On a really pigged off note i had a visit from Anglian Water Revenue Protection team today to see why we are using so little water , they wanted to inspect the meters to see if we have tampered with them as we caant possibly be using so little . They fitted new ones 3 weeks ago which i thought was strange when they had only been in a year , i had to explain that we use little water because i know we cant afford to use it . its strip wash and a weekly shower here and i have the best eco water usage washer i could get to cope with himselfs mess .we havent washed the cars this year and grey water is used for the garden so no we dont use a lot of water , im sorry if living within my means is such a problem ..AAARRGGHHH im spitting nails over this
Too little water usage, how dare you! THEY ought to give you a medal for conservation! We have friends who can afford most everything and they are now catching water in buckets in the shower to water the garden…in the name of conservation. We are in a drought where I live. Everyone needs to save resources.
ReplyDeleteI applaud your suggestion to help the food banks. I fill our little pantry at church and received a thank you from a parent. If not for our pantry, some nights the family would go hungry! Help your neighbors, please.

think its going to get interesting soon
DeleteMy normal weekly shop now costs what the holiday shop totalled not that many years ago. The cost of a can of cat food has tripled! Buying from a list prevents impulse buys, so does cutting up/allocating portions into the freezer directly the goods are home. Awareness of water usage is a long-standing habit: I grew up on a farm with a shallow well.
ReplyDeleteMy family and friends are supporting local food banks by donating items and volunteering time on the lines. We've noticed elders' special needs are pet food and adult diapers. My SIL buys some on her own dime to ensure those that need them, find them. We're becoming very wary of some faith-based charities.
theres some shady charities around , that and we have had a rash of facebook fakes setting up go fund me's locally
DeleteThey should be giving you a medal for using so little water!
ReplyDeletedont see a medal on the horizon..lol
DeleteI read you regularly, but rarely comment, I do admire the way you cope with life's issues! I love your new header photo, thank you, Sine
ReplyDeletethats the big red furry bloke who lives down the bottom of our garden hes real friendly and comes up to watch me in the garden and have a head scratch
DeleteThey should be grateful in this weather. I think that a lot of water and power companies are going to be wondering about lower usage and not working out why.
