THE WORLD NEWS.
If it's not civil war, or some mad bastard attacking a neighbouring country (above), it's faults in the surface of the earth causing earthquakes. The former is indefensible, the latter unstoppable. Both are a sad blight on the peaceful inhabitants of the world.
In the eyes of this very old man the twenty first century has not been much of a success so far.
Almost universally, governments are a sick, sorry, mess.
Apart from getting poorer, however, nothing changes on the IOW. Same insufficiency of opportunity for young people. Same blinkered Council, Same blinkered MP.
It's tolerable for reasonably active oldies, though.
Last week I went for a MRI scan at St. Mary's Hospital, Newport I.W. Lovely staff. Noisy machine. One needs the earphones and, from what I could hear through the boom-boom-boom of a thirty five minutes trip into medical mystery land, I got Classic FM with John Brunning, Excellent.
All I want now is for the NHS Trust (and who the hell trusts anything that calls itself a Trust?) to give those lovely hospital employees who looked after me - plus every one we applauded on our doorsteps in 2020 - better pay and free parking in the hospital grounds where they work.
See that pig fly by?

One advantage of age is that the NHS seems more concerned for my welfare now than it did in all the years I was employed by it. I have been invited to attend SDEC for a CT scan tomorrow.
It's a funny old world.
AND FRIGHTENING.
AND FRIGHTENING.
Unwell-wisher intrusion into the lives of others has made social media a dangerous place, particularly for those of a trusting disposition. Hate crimes are on the increase, youngsters wield lethal knives, and the sort of bullying twat who once ran a wheel clamping company now poses as a 'prepayment meter installer' or an 'expert on missing persons.' Nobody stops the legal bully.
Between scammers, thugs, thieves, and murderers, it's a frightening new world.
BUT ALL BEING WELL HERE TOMORROW
I'LL BE BACK BEFORE THE MONTH IS OUT
BE LUCKY.
