DIARY OF THE ANGEL WHO WANTS TO SAVE THE ELEPHANTS BY FIONA CUMMINGS


Good morning Bloggets. I have been up since just after half six when my Husbands alarm went off. Dressed and downstairs since half seven as I’m waiting again. I seem to have been waiting all of my life… For what this time? A delivery… Thank God not workmen. Gone are those days I hope for a very long time.

 

Christmas has started and Amazon are our best friend. I honestly don’t know what we would do without it. And thankfully, it’s very accessible. Sometimes there is no written description, but if you ask the public on there, they are fast to tell you which is brilliant. Of course, nothing beats real Christmas shopping, feeling the quality of goods just being able to smell those scented gifts you want to buy, rather than relying on words to tell you it smells good. But hey ho!

 

I have bought some black Friday deals that are available already. Really exciting stuff. Smile. A plug that works with Alexa, oh my that was a challenge to set up. But Hub won’t be beaten when it comes to tech. now we can ask Alexa to turn on our plug that is in our conservatory from the comfort of our warm house. The conservatory is freezing and to open that door walk right through to turn on the radiator is chilling once I am cold I’m cold for the rest of the day. So, I cook dinner or prepare breakfast and staying warm ask my plug to turn on my heating in there so when it’s time to open the door and go in as that is where our dining table is, it’s nice and warm!

 

Shamrock is well into the Christmas atmosphere and brought us some white-hot chocolate the other night. Not only that but full cream milk and marshmallows. She even brought Boy Wonder a lovely hot chocolate mug with Polar bears on and a tiny cuddly polar bear inside of the cup that our dogs were rather interested in, but as we explained, not to leave it laying around as if they eat it, it’s not going to be good for us them or the vet bill that will be received.

 

The hot chocolate was absolutely delightful. It was from a company that is extortionately expensive, I think it’s about £10 for a tub of hot chocolate. So, bless her for that. She has been to all the Christmas markets, I envy her. I really love Christmas markets and it’s been so long since I have been to one. It’s just something I can not do on my own.  Oh, how I pray one day I will be able to walk around a Christmas market, look at all the beauty that is there as people selling dress up now days normally in the UK as Victorian people and the stalls are so pretty. Just the smells and gifts they sell too.

 

My Son has been working really hard putting in so many hours. Yesterday he spent most of the day having a chat as he puts it with two colleagues he had to in his words, train, in my words tell them off for not doing things correctly. He is really a great boss as he is so non-patronising and always thinks how the people he is talking to feels. Hub views things slightly differently. It’s interesting to hear his side of the stories. As I always think BW’s approach is the right way, but when Hub explains his way, I can see his point too. Now I’m just confused. I guess I will never be a boss. Possibly it’s a good thing.

 

I have my fire on and the heating as well as our fan radiator in the conservatory. The house is taking a long time to heat up. Outside is freezing. Doing the delightful dog run this morning at ridiculous hour, I seriously thought my hands were going to drop off. Funny, my face never gets cold. But my hands? I guess they say cold hands warm heart, right?

 

Or is it cold hands, needs gloves? Do disposable dog run gloves count?

 

Did I tell you my Son has decided for now at least he’s off meat? Oh my, please God let him stay that way. I hope he will find the strength to keep away from eating meat. He was a vegetarian from the age of three until he was 13, he battled school the teachers were just awful about it. As for the kitchen staff? Wow, I wish I was as strong in those days as I am now and I would have really gone to town with them and I’m not talking for a night out!

 

One day they tried to give him chicken soup… when he questioned it, they told him it wasn’t real chicken and just to eat it. I was furious. It was on his notes he was a vegetarian. I’m just grateful he was clever enough to know they were lying.

 

 He has been watching videos on animal cruelty with regards farming and I must say I can’t watch those videos but he did and he is repulsed by them but sadly I fear he will fall over to the dark side as still society aren’t friendly towards vegetarians. They put up with us, that’s all.

 

I know of a lovely man called William, from America who I was corresponding with on line the other day who was talking about what Jesus would eat and he said, very little red meat as that was for the rich. Historically some evidence shows that a typical breakfast for someone like Jesus in his time, would be pita bread, cheese curds rolled in semolina and sesame seeds fried in olive oil covered in honey,   covered in clotted cream chopped dates and figs, chopped apples and almonds, with honey and goats cheese warmed into a paste.

Gosh, I never knew people ate so well in those days. Apart from the goat’s cheese, that sounds delicious, though the clotted cream? Makes my Ryvita for breakfast sound rather awful. A bit like it tasted. It was as if chewing on cardboard.

 

Well there’s more sad news about monsters who are killing our elephants and Donald Trump isn’t helping the situation. Gosh, I really do wonder if some people on this land have really been in the womb of the Devils wife!

 

Talking of the Devil, 348 adults arrested after Police take down $4 million child porn empire

 Great, now experiment on them to find a cure for child cancer.

 

A question was asked today. “What will you do after death?” My answer was to be hopefully be gifted with sight, meet up with my parents and my pets again as I miss them so much and come to earth from time to time and help the poor animals who are suffering because of mans cruelty and be there for those who are alone. Just to know I can do that would be a dream. Oh, and put down my wings, remove my long white gown put on some jeans and solid boots find the people being cruel to animals and kick them until they will never move again.

Then remove jeans and boots and put back on my cloak/gown and wings and hopefully fly back to the land of perfection.
