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. During the pandemic, people claimed that they were being “brainwashed” and controlled by the media. The media is really brainwashing…

Autumnal thoughts. #ramble
It is Sunday morning and so once again I’ll share my thoughts with you. What’s on my mind this week? The changing of the seasons and my increasing energy costs! My health has also been a problem to worry about too. My fixed price contract for energy ended on the 31st of August and so…

Who will replace Bozo? #ramble
It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m late writing today’s ramble. I usually tell you what’s on my mind on Sunday morning. I went out this afternoon with the intention of photographing something.

Buddhist and enlightenment? #ramble
It is Sunday morning again so I’ll share my thoughts with you. The heat wave continues here in the UK with temperatures expected to go up to 33 C this afternoon. That is a bit too warm. The air con in the car stopped working too. Yesterday afternoon, I closed the curtains in my bedroom…

Living for today #ramble
It has been a week since my last post on this site. I haven’t been too well this week, I need to sort myself out! After the intense heat of the heatwave we are back to “normal” English weather this week and it’s raining as I write this. I like to take photos on a…

Mad dogs and Englishmen #ramble
It is Sunday morning and so as usual I’ll share my thoughts with you. It’s wet and cloudy here in the Black Country but I am thinking of an afternoon out taking photographs today. This week was one to remember as the temperature soared to 37 C. Noel Coward’s song said that “Mad dogs and…

A national emergency #ramble
The UK has declared a national emergency as the country will see temperatures exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the next two days. My friends in other countries regularly experience such high temperatures but for us, this will break records. It has made me think a bit and if we are going to have such high…
