 Well its the weird things running through my mind at 3am post , last night it was TB im old enough to remember a friends mum dying of it when we were at junior school . But these days its becoming a monster of our own creation ,once upon a time you would be sent to an isolation hospital till you were cured , these days they just hand out antibiotics and you take them if you can be bothered or when it gets noticibly worse . In a lot of cases its mutated into antibiotic resistance . They stopped vacinating teenagers back in 2005 doubtless on cost grounds and now its only given to babies from at risk groups well thats what it says on the government website , i think thats code for incomers from exotic places . im curious are all the incomers automatically tested for TB these days, i cant find an answer to that one anywhere. I dont need a crystal ball to see where this going , its transmittable by people living in close confines and just one person can spread it a very long way . Back in the 90s we had outbreaks in Hull and Scunthorpe and they were quickly testing folks and treating them . So this thought has been triggered by the large outbreak in Kansas USA . You can no longer isolate people due to their human rights so is it chuck a packet of antibiotics at folks and hope they take them? 

On and On

 Life is pretty uninteresting at the moment , the only highlight has been my wander to Sleaford to shop for the first time since before xmas , Community larder was its usual joy , tons of bread products so its doughnut bread pudding today, ive missed fresh fruit and veg so much , i know i have tons of dehydrated and frozen and a huge immortal cabbage but a pineapple was the highlight of the day . Chicken factory for a whole £10 worth of weird into the freezer, different huge bags of sweet chilli and garlic and herb, another tray of drumsticks for stew and a large chicken crown . They even had cooked chicken portions that ive shared with the cat . . All i needed was Lidl for some milk and iced tea for himself . I gather there is a couple of jumbles for next month and i admit ive left a host of tiny bids on the local auctions which would be a problem if i won them all, but if i put 10 bids on i sometimes win 1  and its no big deal as i havent cleared the backlog from the last load mainly because its stuff that needs to be washed and spend time hanging out or project things . On the project front im just trying to find the stuff i need to make cats eyeballs for drawer handles ..lol. sod the housework 

Bleedin hell the suns breaking through the pea soup fog , maybe i could find my way to the apple trees and do a bit of pruning ....wish me luck 

Blue

This endless grey or endless icy is doing my head in literally . im strugling with motivation and trivial health woes and just cant seem to give myself a big enough kick up the arse to get moving. I know the winter always gets me down so my usual coping stratergies are in place. Set myself small targets every day and try to achieve them.  Ive got every SAD light bulb in the universe on, plus grow lights for the current houseplant jungle.  So its watch dpressing TV or read, thats as far out of the fog as ive got , bring on Spring im sat tapping my foot waiting .

Why does the family think im mad its only a small bowl of potting compost in the microwave ? answers on a postcard or in the comments 

More Scandal

Well im trying not to laugh , they have now put in planning permision for loads more of these god awful  Mc mansions across the road from all the posh barn conversions on the opposite side of the village , they are all screaming online about how it will spoil their views and devalue their homes , im going to have to dig out my tiny violin for this one . im stuck here staring straight into the front windows of a couple of them ..lol  and soon they will be at the side and behind us as well !!!  it would seem because they got away with building something completely different from the original plan pre covid  it sets a precedent and every spare inch can have a few more chucked on it . ha ha ha .  Im sure the family trust of none tax paying farmers are laughing all the way to the bank .

But in the real world i think im becoming more bitter and twisted by the day with our two tier society , the weird world of adverts where not a single thing is anything that you can afford .  3 for 2 offers where you can only afford one . yellow sticker bargains  that still arent affordable . The constant moaning mouthpieces saying why is  nobody shopping.  Im good at surviving but i know plenty who arent and this year is really going to sort the wood from the chaff . Also has anyone else noted a huge rise in suicides ? that they dont seem to be mentioning along with adult death statistics ?  

New Year

The weather having taken a turn to the cold , i still havent been further than the bin since the 22nd of December last year , motivation is a problem but im getting through loads of books and ive another bag to go to charity waiting . I gather i am being forced to go out Saturday himself has spotted a table top sale he thinks i should go to , first one of the year , i would imagine it will be heaving although the weather does look a bit grim so i may get out of it 

We have had a planning notice for the land at the side of us , more millionaire properties , will we never be rid of soddin builders we will soon be surrounded by new build monstrosities . Big controversy in a small village is the latest incomer idiot who decided to launch huge display fireworks on xmas day opposite a field of horses , the whole village shook and because nobody was expecting it ,every dog and horse in the village was a bit horrified . Somebody went round and said please could you put it on the village web page if youre going to do this again and was met with a torrent of abuse which they filmed and reported , shouldnt think anything will come of it , the police and council wouldnt want to upset a wealthy incomer . Its sad they move here and try too turn this little place into a duplicate of the god awful shitholes they moved here to get away from 

Heres a little something You Tube found for me made only a few days before Xmas a look at the beautiful City of Lincoln  our nearest town
