Is this ectoplasm ?




The last version of this photo I posted had a filter. This original one hadnt. Again if you look to the far left just below half way down you can see a white cloud type billowing along obscuring a tree trunk and settling in a hollow below. If you view this on a lap top and zoom in then its very clear this is something very strange. What is this wandering substance ? 

When I posted my mistake about the leaf ( someone commented on my fb that it looked like a duck ) I knew and have always suspected there was something over there. When I try do something meaningful in the yard a gusty annoying wind gets up. Other people have noticed this annoying trait to as it happens and passes by so quickly and obviously.

Im now wondering what else I may capture on film. Well at least my new neighbour isnt around at the moment !

Scorpions - Crazy World

 


Fun fact - there is not a duff track on this album  !  Well, maybe Im sick of hearing Wind of Change and thats because it was played to death back in the day, but its not a bad song  even for that. There is an energy to this album that I find connected to autumn. A rawness. Actually in the same vein is Skid Rows Sub Human Race album. Again, not a duff track on that one either, and again just sounds so good as the harsh weather and dark nights close in.

More  metal albums without a duff track ( and there arent as many as you first imagine ) are Iron Maidens Killers album and  Ive been listening to that for nearly 40 years. That sounds insane but it came out in 1980, so...Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction has no duff tracks either . Its not natural for a CD to be 100% pleasing with no " filler " tracks. It may be most common in a bands early albums ? Oh, and Metallicas ( just typed Meatallica lol ) Ride the Lightening is another. Yep, early albums seem the best.

Oh, joy !




For £3 a week we get a random basket from Asda containing very random food that is about to be thrown out. Todays delivery contained this lovely 3kg of mince meat. Talk about heart burn...Actually the best before date is 09 April 22 so whats going on ?

Could be coincidence but...

 Now my Sister is ill. Vertigo, dizziness and nausea, neck muscle pains.

 Cousin ill. Exhaustion, nausea, headaches cannot work more than 3 days a week

 Neighbour develops flu which mutates into then serious a lung virus.


All these people were healthy before the vaccination. These are " temporary " side affects of vaccination that are not temporary. They are serious and debilitating. No one will admit this is strange. The news will never ask questions and why would they when the general public stick their heads in the sand ?

I remember that hot day as I stood  reluctantly awaiting my vaccination. My overwhelming emotion of panic was well founded after reading the long list of " temporary side effects " Im glad I had the courage to walk out at the last second to the dismay of the staff. Rushing into an action in a state of fear and panic rarely ends well. Oh, and all these people are in their 40's with no underlying health conditions. I fear this picture will get worse over winter and then be swept under the carpet.

Ye Olde Grey Towne


Yes, Google The Olde Grey Towne of Kendal in Cumbria and you will no doubt be impressed by such phrases as " gateway to the lakes " and " historic market town " and once it was solely these things and more, but today that has become a disingenuous  description because just beneath the surface lurks a growing drugs problem, and this spring a truly horrific event happened. One that never made the papers or tv news strangely.

On You Tube there appeared a video of a young man who had been kidnapped and tortured in a manner I cannot print here. He lost an eye and suffered a sexual mutilation. Five people were responsible for this and they appeared in the video, many laughing at what they were doing. Eventually the youngest let the guy go out of pity after several days, where he stumbled out into a shop car park in the town. This was in a central location outside a Sports Direct store and amongst some other residential flats, but nobody knew what was happening right under their noses and thats what disturbs me so much about this.

I never saw the video but loads of children watched it before it was removed, and it was shared many times.  What effect  that has had on their mental health I wouldnt like to say. How modern that even this disgusting attack was deemed worthy of a You Tube post. It was seen as merely entertainment.A friend however reminded me that this attack was not unique to the town and that in the 80's a similar event took place were a man was kidnapped and tortured in a wood before being thrown from a cliff to his death. 

The trouble is the town  is a town of two halves. One half is retired  (or soon to be ) middle class outdoorsy types,  driving V W Transporters and hiking and the other half are drug fuelled nut case users and dealers, and never the twain shall meet as they say. The council has shipped in ( and been paid to house criminals ) and people from distant urban areas and stuck them all on a few newly built of course sink housing estates which are now just breeding grounds. I remember what the town was like before this happened. Before the drugs. Before the apathy. Before the Police entering the Mc Donalds toilets never even caused anyone to bat an eye lid. Kids on drugs has become the mainstream, even here.

Its not Christmas yet is it ?!




If someone had told me it was a full moon yesterday I would have believed them...Its started with a bull knocking down a wall and getting into a field of someone elses cows. Next a courier came flying into the yard in a van and ran over a 20 litre drum of oil puncturing it and spreading it over 15 meters of the yard. My wife then came home and  told me she had bashed her car door at work on a gate stoop ( and that was after hitting a sheep at 40mph last week denting her bonnet and smashing her bumper which had just been replaced  a month before from a previous accident ) Later on that night she found a long craft knife blade that had  somehow dropped into my daughters trainer. I finally slammed the fridge door in a bad mood and several jars fell out and smashed. One contained beetroot. Went to bed in a bad mood.

This is worrying

 So I think I already mentioned that I have a cousin who has had 2 jabs. Soon afterwards he contracted Lymnes disease after a tick bite, and then caught Covid briefly. By his own admission he admits he has not being 100% since his injections. Now he's having trouble working more than 2 days at a time due nausea, dizziness and head aches. His woes all began after the vaccine.

Today I heard of a neighbour whose partner also 40 and has had 2 jabs, has gone on catch on to flu. The flu has then developed into a lung virus called Pleurisy and she is now having difficulty breathing.  This is worrying. I dont know many people at all and the fact that two previously healthy people who have had the jab before starting an ill health chain reaction is disturbing. No doubt the media has no interest in these events. I wonder what it would take to make them look up.

I wonder who else will go on to start health woes ? Of course everyone who has had the jab says how when they caught Covid they were so glad they had the jab as it " would have been so much worse without it " Are you quite sure ?

My daughters school only has 30 pupils and 10 have had the positive virus test. A few people have caught it off their children, but none seriously. When I talk about this subject my money is where my mouth is. This is not a far away problem but one that right on my doorstep so if Im wrong in my views then I might pay a high price, but I never saw anyone get seriously ill even before the vaccination drive. Still fear is a strong emotion and some days even I wonder about my choices. There again what Im seeing in others I know well vindicates my suspicions. Time will tell.

Can you level up ? lol



My daughter caught a nice sized trout this morning. Its about 3/4 lb. Its a melancholy feeling watching her fish the pools I grew up with. The big difference is I can guide her but I had no one to teach me at her age so I am self taught.

I was recently added by the partner of a presumingly ( is this even a real word ? )  deceased fb friend whom I regularly communicated with. I decided to send a simple message asking her if my assumption was correct. The she read the message,but no reply has come. Im not asserting the above post to this person but as a general frustration I aim at people who add me but never converse. Its weird. I mean adding your partners friends to your page seems a little odd as its been nearly 12 months since ive talked with this man. Whats the score here ?

Another oddity with my page is that only one person seems to add likes in any number and when another starts the original person stops dead. Its as though fb is limiting the number of people who see my posts. That wouldn't surprise me at all.
