How would you improve your community?

If it existed, I would make an Anti-Selfish Behaviour drink   available  from a kiosk in a local park for everyone to imbibe while they go about their daily lives.

The kiosk would be manned by cheery volunteers and there would be tables available for those who wanted to chat.

If the weather was bad,then the kiosk would be set up inside a local library and the drink would be available to anyone who wanted it, in the form of tea,coffee or juice at no cost.

Might work

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Elvis Presley’s singing “Suspicious Minds” comes to mind when I think of the COVID -19 Pandemic.

I hope we’ll concentrate our suspicious minds on the nonsense that was forced upon us by manipulative politicians and public hysteria.

Yes,there is a possibility of a disease or virus that could spread globally,or indeed a catastrophic event that could affect our established way of life.

However, we have avoided it so far and as every Country in this World knows ,a happy population is a productive population.  Politicians want to keep us sweet and worry free, so we elect them again. To be honest death camps do not work.

Just like the great British public lost their “egg” when that diva of British Politics, Edwina Currie  famously announced that every hen in the U.K. was infected with salmonella and caused the egg production  industry  to crash.We must take everything we are told with a pinch of salt.

Corporate Politics does not work.We need reason and the will to do the right thing.

I’m off to boil my egg for breakfast

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

On the first hour of my favourite days,my routine once I’ve done my ablutions is to walk the dog.

This involves locating his harness and collar and lead and going through the motions of

“I’m a big boy,I don’t need those now,I won’t run away.”

This walk can take one to two hours,so it’s definitely my favourite ritual in the morning.I love getting the dog ready for his walk and actually walking him and seeing him experience the outside world.It’s a joy.

Namaste Thank You for Reading.

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

You neek!What a daft question.

Anybody or anything is unique due to time and place of origin.Nothing can inhabit the same space or time at the moment of conception, creation,dividing or parturition.

So despite societal or hierarchial divisions created in order to standardize society, there is no  homologue , every thing has a potential; that we waste at our peril.

Think it’s a good idea to destroy what may be to our future benefit? Only ignorance does that,sadly even that makes a person unique.

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

In the terms of  Universe, naming something after me or anyone seems pretty pointless.

What language,what alphabet,what  reason to have lived at a particular location in time would be beyond the comprehension of the beings that may come across our scorched remnants in the very far off future.

Let’s face it ,archeological facts and history are open to interpretation,so what’s in a name?

Having felt the loam of the soil run through my fingers and dead leaves mulch into compost to give life to other things,I know life turns into something else,so I’m not worried about having something named after me for the hell of it

However, to answer a silly question and address the present I would like to have a maple syrup,pecan and cinnamon flavoured dairy ice cream named after me.

What makes you laugh?

Everything,just like the number 42,

What was it Douglas Adams knew?

Was it comedy or was he a soothseer?

Or a Cambridge Don who liked good beer

I think he would laugh at how he died

Even though the World  loudly cried,

Something genetic gave way inside

Just when he’d finished his cycle ride,

From Arthur Dent to Dirk Gently

Speeding in California in a Gold Bentley,

Humour and Tragedy hand in hand

A man who lived and cared for the land,

I don’t collect books or comic texts

But humour never makes me vexed

Comedy is natural and everywhere,

So better laugh,the truth is …………………………..

we’ve all been there.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was Five I don’t think I had any concept of what being “grown up ” would be like I was probably overthinking the challenges and difficulties of being five.

I can only remember everything being quite difficult.There was a lot I couldn’t do myself and needed help with. I suppose I looked at all these busy people (my parents and brothers and sisters) and on the whole they were there for me.My world was difficult enough as it was without the  ambition to be them.

If I ran and fell over it hurt, I was frightened of going into the hall which had no light.I didn’t like going to the toilet myself,but then again I didn’t want to go with anyone else. I fiddled with food,I don’t know why, I had to go to the doctor because they thought I had TB.I hated going anywhere where people poked and prodded me and made me undress.I did want to go to school as everyone  else seemed to do that.

So there you go,that was the way it was for me.

Namaste,Thank You for Reading.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

To not be sure is a natural state,

Who are we to predict fate

The unknowing blagger is a fool indeed

For trust is something we all need

Particularly the young starting out

Their knowing is forming but there is  doubt

So many ways to comprehend a thing

To get it wrong is a painful sting.

Right or wrong is never fair

We need to try  and be brave to dare

A process we must all go through

It’s part of us ,it’s what we do.

How has technology changed your job?

Microsoft wants to  Co-Pilot  my life,

Reduce my effort,combat strife

Guide me through all the little things I do,

Make sure I’m present,make sure who’s who,

It’s included in my subscription for now you see

It’s an AI gift ,but how long for free?

The more I let it do it’s thing

The less originality it will bring

One day it will tell me ,you have no money left,

And leave me in the lurch,totally bereft.

For truth be known I’m totally alone

Bill Gates just wants my assets to own.

Namaste,thank you for reading.

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Say no to selfishness,

The time we invest in ourselves

Being a nine to five and a five to nine,

Never stopping to ask if someone is fine

To spend our precious time creating,

The whiners and losers berating,

They have no  place in our busy world

While we must bear our heavy sword

To ensure we  have the last word.
