Luminary

Well ive decided at the last minute to go on my holiday by myself though I am meeting a relation for three days and after that who knows . Its a location ive been to for many years but always with a lot of family . It will be strange waking up alone there . I need a rest and have that feeling I am going to explode if I don't get away . Ive been getting that closing in feeling when peoples voices start sounding a bit too loud and too close !
 After reading so much about solitude im now to experience it a while . Its all new to me ! Maybe ive been lucky. Tonight I feel like a character in an episode of the 90's crime/ mystical show MILLENNIUM . There is an episode call LUMINARY .    Google it and it will give you a smile !!!

My attempt to find a phone to take with me ... LOL

Well I hope I don't break anything and get stranded in Scotland but giving recent events don't rule it out !!!

Feeling the pinch

All of a sudden the cost of lifes luxury's has gone through the roof ; for example running a car or going on holiday is getting very hard to justify today . When i left school these were not items you grappled with requiring justification  . They were not items that unduly upset your finances . They are now . Running two cars is on the decline for a lot of families . I am still somehow justifying it as ive always been a car type person , but for how long I don't know ...
 Why are petrol and electricity so expensive ?  Well both have seen falls in usage of 30% apparently in the last few years . That's a lot . Were not talking 2 or 3 % here . This proves their expensive cost has dramatically changed consumers habits . So you use your car less . You try and cut back your electricity usage but in response the companies you buy from put up their prices . You cannot win here .
 For once I cannot blame the government .
  Anyway to cut a long story short  im feeling the pinch in areas I once took for granted . Its to be expected but i didn't think multinational companies would be to blame .
