thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.

Time, that is.

It passes so quickly these days. It's September already. How can that be?? I'll swear it was January just yesterday. And it's 2015... but...but... surely it's only a couple of years since we were celebrating the new millennium...

Frightening to think that it's twenty years since I sat down to watch a campy little fantasy show, because there was sweet fa on tv and I was bored and off work - a show that, history buff as I am, and with an obsession for factual accuracy, should have had me tearing my hair out. But it didn't. I fell in love with that campy little show, and I'm still in love with it - though it did its best to break my heart.

Even more frightening, when I'm starting to think about something - a song, a place, a memory - from the early 80s and think that was what?? fifteen?? twenty?? years ago - and I stop and realise 1980 was thirty-five years ago.

Thirty-five years ago

And now I feel old.

See you next week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Heartbreaking

Watching the news these day is heartbreaking.

First - the wanton, senseless, despicable destruction of an irreplaceable archaeological treasure at Palmyra, by a bunch of evil scum. The same evil scum who behead an 81 academic, burn a pilot alive, rape a 12 year-old girl as punishment... I hope when they die and go to face their God he has a deep hell for them.

Second - the floods of refugees from war, torture, persecution, caused by those same evil scum and their clones, desperate to find sanctuary in the EU, risking rape, murder, death by drowning, suffocation in the backs of trucks - and not being allowed to find that sanctuary. Have we forgotten what happened the last time we refused sanctuary to refugees fleeing persecution?? Seeing the bodies of toddlers, washed ashore after the leaky wrecks pretending to be boats have sunk. For God's sake - let them in - nobody risks this without damned good reason.

I get so angry - and so despairing...

I've got to stop watching the news...

Calm Sunday

After yesterday's crazy weather today started off a bit gray, but ended up to be a beautiful day. A tad cooler than we have been having but felt great and the sun with a light breeze was nice to see. Overall a splendid day and good news for me I have another week of vacation.

Enjoy your updates.

Are you sure we're not in Oklahoma?

We've got wind...up to 35 mph with gusts up to 70 mph. That's high for this area and the trees don't like it one bit. E and I are lucky in that we have power. There are plenty of folks who don't have any power thanks to the high winds.

We just got back from walking Max and there are quite a few limbs littering the streets. Lucky for everyone in this neighborhood none of them were huge.

I'm looking forward to the winds abating and the rain returning.

Vacation Begins

The moment I left the building today was the best moment of the week. Been a very long stressful one and I am glad to have the next 10 days off. Time to rest and not give a hoot about my job. Staycation is a good thing.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Happy birthday, Cal!

Today my youngest son turns 13. He's one of the youngest in his class but has for several years now looked like one of the oldest. Sometimes that's a good thing and other times it's a pain.

He has a great weekend lined up. He'll be attending PAX Prime with his dad and brother.

Tonight we head out for dinner to Black Angus (Cal's request).

Not Sure I Want to Live on This Planet Any More

What the hell is wrong with people?? If you lose your job the proper reaction is to find another one.

It is not to grab a gun and shoot a couple of former colleagues - and a member of the public...

What with the archaeologically important - irreplaceable - temple at Palmyra being destroyed by a bunch of evil thugs, who also manage to twist the words of their holy book to justify the rape of children.

And then the right-wing press (and vast numbers of our politicians) foaming at the mouth about the desperate refugees, who are fleeing war, civil war, and oppression - these are human beings for crying out loud!! They could be any one of us. Refugees whose desperation is exploited by scum making a fat profit from their misery. Frequently abandoning them to their fate - or worse.

I'm really not sure this planet is worth saving.

Some days the world is a magic place, full of wonder. Some days it's not.

Stay safe people. Good night and may your God/s go with you

Eventful Weekends

Been a bit busy over the last couple of weekends.

A fortnight ago I went down to see Barbara. She was pleased to see me. We all (Barbara, her mother, her new step-father, and me) went to the aquarium for the day. It was pretty interesting, though I'm always a little uneasy about keeping living things, used to roaming across vast oceans, in captivity in small tanks.

Barbara loved it. And though she's a little older now, doesn't skip along, doesn't want to hold her mother's hand - she still talks nineteen to the dozen when she's excited.

The weather wasn't the best, but we had a good day.

This past weekend I went to an airshow.

There are dozens of airshows in the UK. At least one a week through the summer. Sometimes two or three. They have stunning displays by The Red Arrows, or The Battle of Britain Flight. They might have wing-walkers, or displays by vintage jets, WW1 replicas or WW2 museum pieces.

They are, as a rule, safe. You get accidents from time to time, but usually no-one is hurt. Sometimes unfortunately the pilot doesn't make it, but the spectators are safe.

This past weekend it all went wrong for one of these shows.

A Hawker Hunter jet didn't pull out of its dive in time. It crashed onto a busy A road (major highway but not a motorway/freeway) and burst into flames. The pilot is critical in hospital.

And eleven people who were driving along that road are dead.

Not a good day.

T's Turn

Tamara was doing some dishes and washing our new sharp knife. Her knuckle is going to take some time. No doctor (probably should have) but we did use those nifty butterfly strips and some lovely gauze and tape. Which needed to be replaced today. However the stubborn woman just put a band-aid on after her shower. So today while cleaning it's gotten bumped a few times and broke open and bled a bit more. So the next time Ze or I get hurt T should be really really quiet.

Enjoy your updates.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Two More Weeks

Not many links for you. Quiet weekend here. The kids and I are getting ourselves squared away for the start of school.

I'll let you get to reading.

A Slow Saturday

It feels like lately that go go go is what we do. Today was a nice slow one. Or, at least, it felt that way to me. Slept in, shopped for some jean for our daughter and then a nice lunch with all the kids and Mike. Dog got a bath and we are doing a lot of laundry continuing our path of flea destruction. When I write all this down it doesn't seem like a slow day but at least it felt that way to me.

Here is hoping all in your land is well. That hope includes our very dear third grunt who went to see an air show in the UK, but we read all did not go well. Ze, we are thinking of you.

Also I have one serious hope that the firefighters that endanger their lives to save our forests and homes be safe and well. I think all of us send much hope and best wishes to those families that have lost their loved ones. May the fires come to an end soon.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Driving

Duncan came home Monday and my week has been filled with hanging out with him and running errands. Lots and lots of errands.

I've been trying to get him into cooking a few meals a week at his dad's house. For Christmas my mother gave him a recipe book and we both put some of his favorite recipes in it. This activity, of course, has necessitated many trips to the grocery store.

Grocery store trips and errands I needed to run meant we drove a lot. Being together helped both of us. He's adjusting to the meds and has periods where he needs to be out and moving. I know our errands managed to tire him out. I've enjoyed spending time with him.

Today he met with a social worker to begin the process of meeting with a counselor. His Peer Bridger met us at the clinic and helped him through the interview process.

Afterward we stopped at Archie McPhee to look around. Of course we bought a few things.

Then we made it back to his apartment to put on the soup Duncan wanted to know how to cook. Now I'm home and happy to be out of the car. I know my weekend will involve a lot less driving.

Old Pets

We love our dog and cats and so do the vets. As our pets are now solidly in their golden years they have become fragile and expensive. I continue to hope we catch a break, instead we are making sure the fairly new emergency vet can continue for years to come.

Back to the updates, tiny so got any thing let us know. Also have some words to share? Again let us know.

Peace, Health and Happiness.
