Tools for Cowards. Bloggy Afternoon Soon. Oh yes!

Looking ahead to a bloggy afternoon. I am behind, since I am shattered. This is due to losing out on sleep during my busiest annual phase with work. I am used to eight rooms. With just two to take care of at my homestay, the workload is more than manageable. Though I also had friends stay on the top floor, then my lot of pets are a daily commitment. not to mention the care of my heavenly container pots in the yards!

The washing is a perpetual cycle. Literally … And there’s been community projects here and there. it’s a heatwave. Boom! Good to be useful. Good to be busy. Good to be here. You’re welcome!

I play my Alexa on low throughout the night to avoid hearing my guests thumping around. Their body weight determines the extent of the noise on the ceiling. Since November 2022 the Alexa has been a part of the harassment package I have contended with. At 3.45 am the volume climbs up. I have in the past actually watched the sound on the app slide across while being hands free. In turn, the burst of volume wakes me during the prime of my sleep. It also disturbs my pets and sometimes the guests. Since it starts to get light around 4am, I get up and potter. So it’s rather a cruel cycle with the ease of today’s abundance of hacking tools for cowards.

But anyway, I have researched the topic of keylogging and cyber harassment. Plus stalking and loss of privacy extensively. It’s quite the thing out there. Staying positive, dating myself. A lot’s been going on. More later. Loving those tailored suits across the pond too! Very dapper. Men are nailing fashion these days. From casual to formal. Prints, textiles, ties and jackets.

Housekeeping next, then I’ll be back shortly. By the way my little gypsy style snug had a lick of paint. Cute and traditional. Cosy. Nice. And I just said goodbye to guests, realising I looked blooded. I carried out a vase of dead lilies from the hallway. All that orange pollen from the middle of the anthers stuck to my chin and vest top. I am multi-tasking right now!

Finding My Voice Amidst Change: Weekend Reflections

Oh my! How quickly the world is changing. I’ve been taking a lot in! And I have stuff to say about many topics.

For me I’ve been existing with a combination of daydreaming, some foreboding. Music, nature and design in small doses. So anyway, I am updating this blog over the weekend. Because if I don’t keep my small corner here, I go into the abyss and we should never be silenced. Love to all. Stay tuned.

Reviving Local Journalism: The Need for Independent Voices

I am a total advocate of freedom of speech. though I don’t believe in sending death threats or dominating any type of hidden agenda. Freedom of Speech is to have an independent voice. And Freedom of Speech should never be abused to intimidate any individual, as a result of personal grudges.

And I believe the UK needs more journalism from enthusiasts for the real world. As too many of us are reliant on opinions often bought about by lack of experience and/or knowledge. I enjoy GB News updates. They give a swift ‘real time’ account of events. And such reports are often an ‘eye opener.’.

During these unstable times, we should honour the messengers. Patrick Christys, an advocate of his own voice, revealed a video on behalf of GB News. The video shows a woman in her tent. Her Yard. And. If she is genuine, I will give her a home and work.

I imagined how different my life could be today, if I had her on my side. How much of the bad stuff would have been stopped? That said, tents camped up anywhere are not something any district needs. Particularly in tourist spots. The world needs to look at their own back yards. To clear up the mess. To make their piece of land somewhere their natives can be proud of. Because all this crap has to end.

These people are risking their lives by hopping from one country to another until they find gold. They are not truly aware of what lies ahead. I do feel sad for the situation. It is up to the countries they are fleeing to make it absolutely clear what’s really happening. To explain the structure of ‘people smuggling.’.

‘Asylum seekers’ and ‘illegal migrants’ (seeking financial dependency from the UK,) are two very different things – and these extremes should be divided. No country should feel shamed into losing their own organic culture, because … culture is art. And that’s a beautiful thing. British people should not become doormats for non permissive travellers who have absolutely no regard for our heritage and values.

A comparable for instance is if you don’t like your job, you look for another. You discuss your prospects. You don’t just put your stuff down on someone else’s desk, then expect a medal. It’s called common decency.

Amen.

Personal Reflections on Budget Towing Experiences.

This weekend, I conducted simple tweaks for myself and TRAVELlERS whilst pottering about the place. and my flowers in the lounge are two weeks in and radiant. I sent a pic to my guest as they were for her late father. I have had such great guests for spring, so far.

Whilst wandering about the place, I reflected toward parts of my exclusive life experiences. To include (some years ago …) towing my own caravan around the splendid UK on a tight budget. For which I purchased the run down but cosy ‘tiny house’ on wheels, from Ebay for less than 1k. My family weren’t too pleased. I vanished on a mission to … I did not know where ... I was a confident driver, then. So, I bolted the old thing on to the back of a Hilux Surf I had imported from Japan. And off I went!

All this before another caravan tale of ‘Annona’ that was settled in Wales. Yes. I lived in a Welsh valley for a while too.

Anyway … Feeling nostalgic, I recently carried out much research on tiny houses. I believe any space can be a palace with the right energy. With privacy and respect we can manifest a home anywhere. And those who are blessed with a roof, need to love to dwell in a balanced environment. We must make much out of little. We can all ‘nest!’.

A life to be remembered can only be felt by the owner of that own unique ✨️ adventure. Which is self. Don’t ever forget that when any of you are out robbing ideas and space without any kudos to those who planted the thought. You are not getting as rich as you are for stooping so low. And as soon as mankind has no boundaries to respect the property and privacy of others, there comes turmoil. A chaos bought about with the knock on effect of another putting their own misery toward those who live better. And by that I mean in terms of peace. And peace should always be left to grow organically. Free from intrusion.

Any type of rape is to take without permission. And rape is the boundary we as ‘woman’ set in place 🚫 by our collective right.

That said. For the feminine to allow any other to her bedroom, is giving consent to her privacy. A very different matter to the cowardice of hackers, in terms of spyware and the utilities of recruitment to unlawfully enter a building or trespass on land. This can derive from perpetrators often stuck in their own situations, they would prefer to ignore. For instance a coward waiting to jump ships. Opting in favour of ‘virtual’ squatting in the home and or workplace of another, rather than build his/her own environment, in preference of ideological make believe.

Having said all this, no matter what our circumstances, we just have to live like no one is watching and be grateful for each day. Because as soon as we succumb to bullying and harassment we feed the problem. I applaud any person who has the courage to get up each morning, knowing they can’t manage the outcome. Keep going. This world is full of love. Though sadly, not enough people talk about it. Remember. Society may have stifled us with technology, but our principles do not have to change. It is never a crime to be authentic, with a heart that wants well for others.

Little Blooms. Big News!

A strong pregnancy crafted by a strong relationship! Blooming marvellous and congratulations to Emily and Patrick. A sweet and endearing, hugely passionate couple. Refreshing! I wondered when we’d hear the news! a man who applauded his wife with proudness on her special announcement for their new little bundle to arrive in autumn.

These flowers were left by a guest, slightly wilted. Comiseration bouquet from a neighbour for her late father. Now they’re in my lounge and have picked up to their full glory. The front room is perfect for petals. It’s cool but bright. I still have a bunch of white roses from the weekend of Mother’s Day. I put them with flowers from my mum in the hallway. So it’s a nice vibe to have a family of flowers from individual tales.
