I enjoy progress and accept I'm not as young as I once was but does anyone else feel out of kilter with most of what is going on around them today like the world is now hurtling in the wrong direction or is it just me getting old.

I've spent thr morning watching Mystery TV.

Change in the weather. Freezing this morning. Now sat in the garden in tee shirt and sun glasses.

When I worked I shaved everyday. Now retired twice a week at most. My dad shaved everyday and continued to when he retired and put on a shirt and tie. I can still picture him standing up feeling his chin and saying time for a dig in the grave.

I imagine the most well known slang term for 'stairs' would be 'apples and pears' but as a child at bed time we were told 'come on up the dancers'. Anyone else ?

Letter in the news of the world in the 80s. Someone re calling blitz and sheltering in the underground. A man would cook fried eggs crispy at the edges. Everytime that person has crispy egg now they remember the 'good old days and community spirit' Happy days

Plenty of trick or treaters tonight. Handing out lots of bags of sweets. Remember when my kids were small doing it and one woman gave them a tin of new potatoes

Why is most news bad news. It's so depressing.

In the US Trump is a nasty piece of work and in the uk Farage and Co are nasty pieces of work. God help the uk if the right ever get into power.

Why do people tell lies about covid vaccinations on here saying they cause this or that and family members dropping dead right after injections World is full of odd balls.

Liz Truss still in total denial over her handling of the economy. Everytime she comes out she tries to rewrite history. She needs help.

This stocking up on water. Maybe the concern is not war but contamination of the supply. Don't know if it's possible to do this at reservoirs. Hope not.

If it's not russia then who or what ?

I've ordered a battery operated, solar operated wind up radio with torch light. Now I'm thinking is it water proof.

Just watched Spielberg 's disclosure day. It was okay but that's about it.

When I was a kid we called Halloween duck apple night and spent our time with our heads in a bowl of cold water trying to get the apple with the sixpence in it.

Like I said earlier this year it basically rains from October to March/April then we get some sunshine and a hosepipe ban. Still at least the garden is a luxurious green at the moment.

Why do they want us to stock pile food, goods etc. Civil unrest, war, collapsing economies or alien invasion. Disclosure day is approaching.

My 11 year old autistic grandson has major issues about what he will eat. Currently having a ribeye steak for breakfast.

The Ross Kemp advert for Britain and the Mafia on the History Channel really bugs me. 'I shot him in the head ....twice.' 'the Mafia' 'Ronnie and Reggie'. This country seems to have a passion for thugs.

One of my granddaughters is in Madrid at the moment. Whilst out she was threatened with arrest and forced back to her hotel 'for her own safety'. There are so many places people should avoid if possible.
