This is my first blog of 2018
Hello to you all and a very happy New Year!
As we enter into another year, let’s see what this brings. I
hope so much love and luck. Health and the wealth of knowledge that you are
needed and moreover wanted by those who mean so much to you. I’m so glad to
have you in my Blogget family.
After all, it’s you I write for. If not for
you, why would I bother?
Oh, Bloggets, let me tell you something that really really
turned my stomach… Yesterday my friend came and kindly gave me some home-made
cake, she makes them all the time and is very generous about it…. But, she also
handed me a bag.
Hmm.
Now, at the pub the other night when we went to the quiz,
she asked Hub if he liked pheasants? He said yes. I was revolted. In fact,
apoplectic at the thought of a beautiful bird being killed. Her daughter in law
was to be what they call beater I think that is the correct word for evil
hunters who were going to Chace and slaughter innocent beautiful creatures. In
the bag was the dead creatures. I already told my Husband I wasn’t going to
cook them. He took the bag from me and was horrified that they still were full
birds, as far as he dared to investigate. I still can feel all the feathers
against my wrist as I took the bag from her.
There are words, and only animal lovers will understand.
Her poor Husband was really ill, we were due to go to them
for New Year but about three in the afternoon, he cancelled.
There is so much I have had to think about of late. And
whilst Hub and myself reflected last night leading up to the sounds of Big Bens
bongs striking midnight on our TV, we spoke many words of silence, using
telepathy to understand each other’s thoughts!
I couldn’t sleep I went to bed about half one this morning
and got up at four stayed up till after 5 a.m. believe it or not, I started
taking down our Christmas decorations and when Hub woke, he started to cook his
meat for the day. I don’t cook on New Years Day, never have never will, though
this year, or I should now say, last year was the start of breaking all
traditions but the other ones were out of my control. Cooking on New Years day,
is still in my control. I made food yesterday put it in the fridge and just
plated it today wrapping it in foil or film until people were ready to eat.
Hub and I continued to take down all the Christmas
decorations inside and out. The garden looks empty now as does the house. But Christmas
is over as is the New Years celebrations thank God. I hate this time of year.
Love Christmas but not New Year.
A new start now and Hub and I have quite a few resolutions
that I hope we can stick by.
Boy Wonder spent the night with Sham spending so much money
and drinking like a fish, her family are Irish and she says they are big
drinkers. She turned up here about six and she looked unbelievably hung over.
She hadn’t long been up out of bed BW had been to the gym can you believe it?
On New Years Day? I’m glad though. He’s also joined a new gym and this one has
a pool. When it comes to health, BW is so very different to Sham.
Not sure what they
are doing now but I would guess Shamrock will be asleep as she really looked in
a bad way.
My Son is working for seven days in a row from tomorrow.
Watching the news today, 1400 cars in Liverpool have blown
up in a multi-story car park. People were visiting a horse show. Thank God, the
horses were OK and in one of the cars, there were two dogs, the wonderful heroic
fire fighters saved them. Fancy leaving your dogs in a car in a multi-story car
park though? The poor people who lost their cars had to spend the night in
shelters as they couldn’t get home. I mean, what if house keys were in the
cars? But getting home would be a challenge I guess as there would be no
transport apart from taxi’s charging the earth to get them home.
Eighty young people in London alone have been stabbed and
last night, New Years eve was no different. Four young lads aged between
eighteen and twenty are now dead stabbed to death. The four young men weren’t
linked in any way. It’s so tragically sad. Why? What would make someone get
ready to go out on such an evening with a knife? It’s a culture I don’t like. England
isn’t a place I would like to bring my child up now days. Unless we lived deep
in the country away from most people and influences.
The news is just so full of murders. Stabbings and a man has
been shot. Wow, this is England this didn’t used to happen.
If I could move abroad tomorrow, I would. I would pack my
son Hub and dogs up and off I would go. Where? Still say Canada… Now, what is
the crime like there? Vancouver is my dream. I just wonder if everywhere is the
same now days it’s the speed of crime in the UK that is bothering me.
My football team won today, Newcastle United. Makes a
change. When I was a teenager, Newcastle United were so good.
Now? not so!
My dear Bloggets we have now reached the huge amount of views
of 261,000 and the countries in order of highest viewers readers listeners, are
as follows.
United Kingdom 109,507
United States 83,311
Russia 10,179
Ukraine 7,515
Germany 6,151
Canada 6,107
Australia 4,605
South Africa 1,763
France 1,482
Poland 1,364
And the other twenty odd thousand belong to all the other
countries just outside the top ten. There are some close countries though, aren’t
there? Poland is still hanging on though. I wish I knew just who was out of the
tenth place… My guess would be either Portugal or Spain. Though Italy make a
lot of visits. Oh, or, it could be Sweden… haha. I guess I just don’t know.
Mexico used to be in the top ten, and Mexico still read, just once in a blue
moon now though.
Let’s see by next year, just how many blogs have been read
by this point. I can’t remember how many blogs I have written at a guess I would
say it’s not too far from four thousand.
OK, for now I shall love ya and leave ya’s… Chat again
tomorrow. Much love.
