It is time.

... Time for us to negotiate a closer relationship to the rest of Europe. Brexit can be widely regarded as the largest error in recent history. The British electorate were lied to, followed by hollow, empty promises of a conservative government, to ‘get Brexit done’!

Please Britain, lets wake up!

As you may already be aware, my current music listening habits, pick from two genres. I listen to Deep House music when exercising at the gym through headphones, or at home on my ‘Motomed exercise-bike’. When I want to chill-out/relax, Jazz. I try and keep this mind open, allowing for as broad a range as possible. Currently anything from the Jazzy  vocals of Laufey, through to Jazz legend ‘Miles Davis’.

A current favourite is song 3, from iconic album ‘The Epic’ by Kamasi Washington called ‘Isabelle’.

What is the difference between the people from Dubai, and the people from Abu Dhabi?

Well, the people from Dubai don’t like the 

Flintstones but…

I finish by further promotion of ‘toothtabs’. 

We must all be aware of the harm we inflict upon our planet. All toothpaste tubes are ever-lasting, littering our home forever. The obvious solution is to end their use. Toothtabs do not need such packaging, but are just as effective as toothpaste. 

This is such a simple, basic alternative, it panics me that humanity has not embraced this solution!

RESTART

 Happy New Year 2025 everyone!

A perfect time to stop, consider change, and restart. There is so much negativity in the world, I plea to everyone, to take these three steps, in any process which may have a negative affect on someone, or something.

STOP

CONSIDER CHANGE

RESTART

The world is one

This winter period is a festive season. As the world decreases in size (metaphorically, due to transport and communication abilities), we all are uniting. No-one should be discounted! Different people celebrate differently. It is a festive time, but not everyone is religious, let alone a believer of an identical religion.

The greatest thing is that we are all different! Everyone brings something individual to the table!

Three of the largest religions’ celebrations…

Hanukkah 

Ramadan

Christmas 

This third of a year contains many religious celebrations…

The other 9 months can be found through this link

The entire world is one. Why do we sit back and let this happen to ourselves?

We must help

Please do what you can

Ahem!...

 

Three golf clubs go into a pub

The first, a putter goes up to bar and orders a pint. 

The second, a pitching wedge, follows, and orders another pint.

The third goes up, and ‘just a water for me, sorry I can’t, I’m the driver’

‘That’s not how a queue works’ 

Hehehe. 

I had just entered a coffee shop, a few weeks ago, and joined the back of a long queue, to get my espresso, post physio session.

Then, all of a sudden a rather large lady walked into the shop and stood in front of me and my wheelchair!

‘Ahem, that’s not how a queue works, sorry!?’ I alert her.

She rotates and just stares at me with a puzzled snarl.

Fortunately another customer had also joined the queue, remained behind, and managed to gently explain just how wrong she had been.

I regained my place, all was ok, but I also realised that this was ‘just a regular occurrence’ in my previous life. It is only in a wheelchair, when you can’t nudge forward, or ’slip past someone’. I recognise now how EVERYONE for the past 18 years has acted kindly to me.

Should I welcome being relegated (therefore I was just as normal as everyone else).

BUT NO, I WANTED A COFFEE!

My life could’ve been so ‘regular’. I would have been bored. I would have been in a lovely marriage, possibly with children, working full-time. Life could have been so ‘regular’.

I am different.

I am alone.

I love my independence! Most of the time but not all of the time. I am disabled so ‘different’. I am alone. Only I know myself.

I type this whilst sat near a couple and two parents, in a coffee shop on a Sunday.

So many lives seem ‘happy and complete’. 

Everything is relative, and humans ALWAYS want more.

Desire to improve is what drives us all to progress

I have always been very independently tackling all sorts of problems that life throws at us. Therefore self-belief is my broad safety net!

I type just three days later, having been in same coffee shop, but accompanied by an amazing new friend. I welcome a vastly improved mood compared with earlier words I have typed! 

Oh, I don't know!

Up, down.

Flip a coin. In order to get heads, you have to recognise that tails is just as possible (and vice versa, obviously). As with everything within our cognitive powers, there is always another alternative. Find it, understand its possibilities. It may be worse, it may be better. It will always exist, in parallel with the original. There is always an alternative.

My current music choice now
