Pricey

 We've been eating out most days because of the state of the kitchen- and we're getting tired of it. Yesterday we bought a take away at a Chinese place in Norman's Bay and parked up by the roadside at Cooden Beach. We were congratulating ourselves on the cheapest meal of the week when a couple of very nice young people in uniform showed up to explain that we were parked illegally and slap us with a £90 fine. And so the cheapest meal of the week turned into the most expensive we've ever eaten....

Sticking My Neck Out

 The incoming president of the United States has said he wants to 

1. Take the Panama Canal away from Panama

2. Take Greenland away from Denmark and stud it with military bases

3. Take Canada away from the Canadians.

4. Rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

I call this over-reach and think, if any of it is implemented, it's going to lead to no end of trouble.

A Third World War? Well, isn't that already underway?

And now for some high-end editorialising:

The Old World Order that wants to be the New World Order is losing its hold over people's minds- and is thrashing around in fear and desperation. In the incoming President it has acquired a spokesman whom it really didn't want because it prefers to proceed with subtlety and stealth and fine words- while he is someone who likes to bang the big bass drum. The next few months are going to be chaotic- and not just because of the carryings on of the politicians. There will be climate and weather events and all sorts of revelations of one kind and another....

And....and.... 

I'm an optimist who trusts the prophecies-  and I think a better, kinder world world will be built  over the ruins of Babylon.....
