Thinking about Christmas. #ramble
I usually write a rambling post about everything and anything on Sunday morning but I completely forgot today. That wasn’t the only thing I forgot. I have the Chinese chat app, Wechat on my laptop and I should log in automatically but it doesn’t do that and so I have to remember to log in. […]

Art takes over #ramble
It is Sunday morning and quite a chilly one. It is getting warmer though, at 8 C. I might go out this afternoon and I’ll take my camera. Winter photography isn’t quite as enjoyable as in the summer but I get some interesting pictures. Finance The Bank of England’s MPC increased interest rates to 3% […]

leveraging the whole economy? #ramble
Equinox It was the autumnal equinox on Friday when there is an equal number of daylight hours and hours of darkness. It was a dark day for the UK economy too as the chancellor trashed the stock market and sent the value of the pound crashing towards parity with the US dollar. Leveraging Leveraging is […]

Brainwashing, photography and deliveries. #ramble
It’s Sunday morning, so I’ll share my thoughts with you, as usual. This evening there will be a minute’s silence in memory of Elizabeth II. It will be the funeral at 11 on Monday morning.

Here in the United Kingdom, we have entered a new era with the death of our queen, Elizabeth the second, and King Charles III’s accession. I have great hopes for the future of our nation. It has been a divided nation recently but we have a new Prime Minister and a King, known for his […]
