Cornwall Day Two
Packing is my Bane,
And makes me go Insane,
We have arrived,
And I think that I have survived,
My thought process was interrupted,
And all my plans corrupted,
We have no condiments or tinned tomatoes,
Nor the bendy thing to touch my toes,
I have a computer which I normally never bring,
As really my phone can do everything,
In truth I have a jacket with a yogurt stain,
The reason is too hard to explain ,
One pair of jeans and ten pairs of shorts,
A divorce lawyer and all his torts,
As my husband is not talking to me,
Because I forgot his Earl Grey Tea.
The truth and it wasn’t too bad really……
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

Cornwall Day One
We left in hot sunshine
Drove through heavy rain,
It wasn’t a bad journey
Indeed we made good progress
The traffic seemed thinner,
And we made good time ,
And now who cares ,the weather’s fine.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading

#HeadlineTherapy A Father and Daughter Forged More Than 200 Artworks by Warhol, Banksy, Picasso and Others- and Sold Them for $2million
Thanks to Christian Thorsberg and The Smithsonian magazine for the Headline
Sad to say, the penalty that this father and daughter may suffer is as much as Twenty years in prison. To be honest some of these people who bought the fake are still have an interesting painting, albeit created by some unknown artist in Poland and presented to the buyer as an original of a famous artist.
What does it matter if they like it? Most of the artists are dead anyway and what is decor , but a choice of colours.
With the costs involved I don’t think that they made that much money anyway. I think it is a waste of time sending them to prison.

#HeadlineTherapy The crime that never happened and sparked a rage bait frenzy
Thanks to Marianna Spring and BBC Online News for the Headline
There is nothing stranger than human behaviour when the rabble are provoked into action by channels of misinformation which lead to false conclusions and heightened anxiety. The worst scenario, there is a revenge killing, like what happened in an America that hopefully is not regressing back to such events with lynchings of black men accused of raping white women.
For the population of Epsom the reality of this frenzy occurred and vandalism and attacks on property occurred when a group of protesters (or potential lynchers) forced entry into a hotel they thought was housing asylum seekers. It wasn’t , so red faces all around and arrests for criminal damage.
The article is about how Social Media and the Police communicated the information which led to the behaviour. However, the punchy headline says it all to me. Too many people jump to the wrong conclusion on the basis of misguided beliefs backed up by a sound bite of information.
If someone had been killed , all the talking and meetings in the World won’t bring them back or take away their arbitrary sentence.
Apparently now the Police say a Gang Rape did not occur, so I presume the way they handled the “investigation” will be reviewed.

#HeadlineTherapy Whale carried by barge out of German waters after weeks stranded on coast.
Thanks to Paul Kirkby and BBC Online News for the Headline.
The whale who has managed to strand itself on the German Coastline and became a cause celebre in the German news. All in all the whale has spent three months , and used a special channel dug by volunteers to move back out to sea, but unfortunately moved further down the Coast and ended up stranded off the Island of Poel.
Two entrepreneurs have paid for a barge which will transport the whale out to sea , out of German waters and into the North Sea. Whether the whale will survive is questionable as it’s condition may well have deteriorated , the lack of salinity in Coastal Conditions affecting it’s skin and also the lack of it’s normal diet. It’s really an unclear situation, and they may release the whale and it might just drown.
This certainly is not a warm and fuzzy story, particularly when you consider the whale first got into trouble because it became entangled in netting.

My favourite holiday of all?
My favourite holiday of all,
In these modern times is to have one at all,
As those above sometimes forget,
That us little people need a rest,
It was decided long ago,
That productivity increased if to the seaside we could go,
For two weeks of the year,
“It does them good and it’s not too dear,”
And then with time holiday entitlement increased,
And Holiday Companies realised the punters could be fleeced,
Five weeks if you were lucky,
Or spoke to personnel and were quite plucky,
The choice was endless of places to go,
By plane or boat to far field places like Ao
Adventures unlimited with opportunities for vice,
Though to talk about that would not be nice,
It was all on offer dependent on the price,
Around the World was a possibility,
If you make it a race you can appear on tv,
Or if you fancy a break from reality,
You can mooch in a field just like me,
For that for me is truly holiday time,
Infact the truth is……. it’s blooming sublime
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
