Tempus Fugit



Many, many years since I posted.  I'm certainly active online on a daily basis but Blogging seems to fall by the wayside, largely due to being so busy and partly due to this blog being totally random and without structure as well as really that it's just for a personal brain dump and not expecting anyone else to read.    ::waffle, waffle::

Still, just a few updates in subsequent blog posts today.

On the whole, the past two-to-three years have been the busiest I've ever been, often without a free evening to myself in a fortnight period.  


General Thoughts

The world has changed massively within such a short space of time.  Even in these few years of silence, my childhood disturbing images of rainforest destruction are now dwarved (that's not to belittle the still ongoing deforestation) by other atrocities of humankind such as the plastic pollution in the oceans, trophy hunting, Asian animal cruelty, the extinction of species such as the rhino etc.   With social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter, there's not a day goes by where I'm not affronted by the human blight on our beautiful planet.  Wanton cruelty and meaningless destruction.  Over the past weeks I've begun to "unfollow" and turn off notifications to work towards more of a media blackout.   I'm not going to get all political either, but the past two years have seen destructive people come into power; Trump being very prominent!  Brexit causing such a hatred and divide within the UK; largely caused by citizen's intolerance of immigration and terrorism.  The world is a mess and I can't see it getting any better, sadly.  Bring on the Black Plague and let's "reduce the surplus population".

Such depressing thoughts aside, life is good.  Daily happiness, never bored and feeling quite fulfilled.

Upcoming blog entries for a few contributors to those feelings...
