Getting older but not quite past my sell by date.
Appreciate a good sense of humour. If you can’t laugh at yourself what can you do? 😃
I love music and before I became partially disabled I enjoyed Zumba.
I love all animals most especially birds.

Reading this reminds me of a gentlemen I know who has done the same as the one in this report. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11691635/amp/Im-transitioning-trans-woman-man-blame-woke-culture-influencing-teens.html?fr=operanews Are some young people being brainwashed by the ‘transitioning culture’ ? -

Horrific beating given to a young boy, after being accused of bullying, after asking girl not to film him with her mobile phone. They told him not to report it. Did they expect his Mother not to do so? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/12-year-old-boy-brutally-26123700.amp?fr=operanews -

A politician dies and winds up standing in front of the pearly gates. St. Peter looks at him for a second, flicks through his book, and finds his name. "So, you're a politician..." "Well, yes, is that a problem?" "Oh no, no problem. But we've recently adopted a new system for people in your line of work, and unfortunately you will have to spend a day in Hell. After that however, you're free to choose where you want to spend eternity!" "Wait, I have to spend a day in Hell?" says the politician. "Them's the rules," says St. Peter, who snaps his fingers, and *WOOSH*—the guy disappears. He wakes curled up with his hands over his eyes, knowing he's in Hell. Cautiously, he listens for the screams, sniffs the air for brimstone, but hears and smells nothing. Just the smell of fabric softener and cut grass... This can't be right, can it? "Open your eyes!" says a voice. "C'mon, wakey wakey, we've only got 24 hours!" Nervously, he uncovers his eyes, looks around, and sees he's in a hotel room. A nice one too, a penthouse suite. Before him, there's a smiling man in a suit, holding a martini. "Who are you?" the politician asks. "Well, I'm Satan!" says the man, handing him the drink and helping him to his feet. "Welcome to Hell!" "Wait, this is Hell? But... Where's all the pain and suffering?" he asks. Satan throws him a wink. "Oh, we've been a bit mis-represented over the years, it's a long story. Anyway, this is your room! The minibar is of course free, as is the room service... There's extra towels next to the hot-tub, and if you need anything, just call reception. But enough of this! It's a beautiful day, and if you'd care to look outside..." The politician wanders over to the floor-to-ceiling windows through which the sun is glowing, looks far down, and sees a group of people cheering and waving at him from a golf course. "It's one of 5 pro-level courses on site, and there's another 6 just a few minutes drive out past the beach and harbour!" says Satan, answering his unasked question. So they head down in the lift, walk out through the glittering lobby where everyone waves and welcomes the politician, as Satan signs autographs and cheerily talks shop with the laughing staff. And as he walks out, he sees the group on the golf course are made up of every one of his old friends, people he's admired for years but never met or worked with, and people whose work he's admired but died long before his career started. And out of the middle of this group walks his wife with a massive smile and the body she had when she was 20. She throws her arms around him and plants a delicate kiss on his cheek. He spends the day in the bright sunshine on the course, having the time of his life laughing at jokes and carrying on lively discussions, putting the world to rights with his friends while holding his delighted wife next to him as she gazes lovingly at him. Later, they return to the hotel dining room for an extravagant five-course meal, each course cooked to perfection and better than the previous one. Afterward, his wife whispers something sensual in his ear, his cue to return to their penthouse suite, and spend the rest of the night making love like they did on their honeymoon. After 6 hours of intense, passionate sex, the politician collapses on the memory foam pillows with Egyptian cotton pillowcases, and falls into a deep and blissful sleep. The next morning, he is woken by St. Peter. "So, that was Hell," he says. "Wasn't what you were expecting, I bet?" "No sir!" says the politician. "So then," says St. Peter, "you can make your choice. It's Hell, which you saw, or Heaven, which has choral singing, talking to God, white robes, etc." "Well... I know this sounds strange, but, to be honest, I think I'd prefer Hell!" says the politician. "Not a problem, we totally understand. Enjoy!" says St. Peter, and clicks his fingers again. The politician wakes up in a cold, dark place with hard, stone floors, the stench of ammonia filling the air. As he adjusts, he can see the only light is from a flame far away, illuminating the ragged remains of people who were burned with sulfur. A sudden bolt of lightning reveals Satan, wearing the same suit as before and grinning, holding a soldering iron in one hand and a coil of razor-wire in the other. "What's this?" the politician cries. "Where's the hotel?! Where's my wife?! Where's the minibar, the golf-courses, the pool, the restaurant, the free drinks and the sunshine?!" "Ah", says Satan. "You see, yesterday, we were campaigning—and then you voted." -

Listening to the radio this afternoon I heard this wonderful version of wrecking ball with Dolly and her God daughter Miley Cyrus so I looked it up on YouTube to share it with the group. Even better to see them singing that and I will always love you. Not sure if all of it will play as videos sometimes stop after 2 minutes but if so, please watch it on YouTube Happy birthday Dolly https://youtu.be/SEdAFDl_2g4

Last night I watched a piece on tv about homeless Ukrainians in the UK since the government allowance for taking them in on arrival has ended. But what about our own homeless? Should the government be considering war time answers to this problem, such as prefabs and pod like housing. Not everyone has the income or opportunity to buy one of the thousands of new homes being fitted into every spare space across the country. https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/london-borough-outrageous-1-every-25935079 -

Podcasts Does anyone listen to the Ukrainecast that has been posting since 24th February 2022. Some awful real life stories of children being taken away into Russia, torture chambers, bodies found in unmarked graves and who is helping Russia. A lot of these stories are not reported elsewhere and are not reaching the majority of the public . -

Received today - apologies cannot paste so that links work! Good afternoon Thank you for responding to our consultation that took place earlier this year. I am now contactng you to let you know that the Mayor of London has decided to expand the ULEZ to outer London so that it will apply London-wide from 29 August 2023. This followed a public consultation that took place between 20 May and 29 July 2022. The Mayor’s decision was informed by the consultation responses that we received and other relevant information such as the Integrated Impact Assessment which considered the possible impacts of the proposed expansion. The consultation reports which summarise the issues raised in the consultation and TfL’s response to them can be viewed here. To support the ULEZ expansion, the Mayor has announced that he is funding a £110m scrappage scheme for Londoners on lower incomes, disabled Londoners, charities, micro businesses and sole traders. The scheme will open on 30 January 2023, but the website has already been updated with some details on what the scheme will look like and who will be eligible to apply. To help London’s disabled drivers and community transport minibuses run by not- for-profit organisations, the existing exemption periods for these vehicles will extend to October 2027 and October 2025 respectively. There will also be new exemption periods for disabled drivers and wheelchair accessible and adapted vehicles. These will apply from the end of January 2023 until October 2027. For more information please see the TfL website. Additionally, to maximise the potential benefits of expanding the ULEZ and strengthen alternatives to private cars, the Mayor today announced a plan for improving the bus network in outer London. Two new routes will be introduced in Sutton and in east London, new zero-emission cross-river services will be introduced, subject to consultation, as part of the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel in 2025. In addition to ULEZ expansion, we also consulted on changing the way Auto Pay works, increasing the level of the penalty charge for non-payment of the ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, and asked for your views on the possible future of road user charging, as well as a revision to the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. The Mayor has also decided to: Remove the annual £10 per vehicle Auto Pay registration fee to make it easier for people with non-compliant vehicles to pay the charge and avoid unnecessary penalty charges Increase the penalty charge notice for non-payment of the ULEZ and Congestion Charges from £160 to £180 (or £90 if paid within 14 days) to ensure it remains an effective deterrent The consultation also asked a number of questions about how people felt a future road user charging scheme might work by the end of the decade. The full consultation report details the response to these questions. The MTS Revision and its post adoption statement, as well as the Integrated Impact Assessment of the proposed revision and the Habitats Regulation Assessment, may be inspected during office hours at TfL’s main office: Palestra, 197 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 8NJ; and at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, London E16 1ZE. These documents are also available on our website. If you have any questions about the impacts about any of the information in this email please contact our customer services team. Kind regards Christina Calderato Director of Transport Strategy & Policy Transport for London -

New hospitals? This link is a few months old but gives interesting details https://fullfact.org/health/48-new-hospitals/ At the moment we have ambulances at some hospitals sitting outside for several hours and people sitting in A & E or in corridors all day waiting for beds. The new PM has just announced he will make the NHS stronger . How can he do this?
