Car full.

I was only going to pick one bag of litter today, but things never work out just right. I headed off down Bagmoor Lane to tidy up the Car Park at the bottom end just before the Horse Riding place. There are several pull ins along the lane where people park to take their dogs a walk. I'll just stop here and see if there is any litter along the grass verges. There was. I ended up walking most of the lane with my trolley. It was nice and quiet, very little traffic. There is a farm and a chicken factory along there. Oooh look, I wanted a new set of headphones. 😁

Well blow me down, what have I found here. Two boxes of dumped advertising leaflets. Someone couldn't be bothered to walk around and stick them in peoples letter boxes. I left these behind to pick them up another time. They come from a shop in Doncaster.  Technically these are fly tipped, but if I report them to the Council it will take them ages to find them so I may as well move them myself. 

A bit further along the lane I came across some more leaflets. These are from a shop in Scunthorpe. I picked these up and put them in my car. To be left with my bags at my collection point. 

I drove a bit further to the Car Park, and filled a second bag with litter there. Car is now full, and I need to go home. There is a football, broken plastic storage box and lid, two plastic containers, 14 glass bottles, and two nitrous oxide cannisters. 

The Council cleared  this area today, and now I have gone and filled it up again. 😈

Now I have to empty my car ready for the MOT test tomorrow.

New cat

 I didn't feel like writing a blog post yesterday, my mind was elsewhere. Mickey cat was at the vet. I dropped him off at 8.15, had to keep busy until I went to pick him up at 4pm. I kept thinking I hope he is going to be alright. 

His fur has slowly become more matted over the last year or so, and he was unable to clean himself properly. It must have been uncomfortable for him to carry around that heavy load on his back. His claws needed trimming as well. So I decided to get him sorted out. At 20 years old I was worried that he might not survive the anaesthetic. The vet warned me about that. He was not going to let them touch him without it. So I spent all day worrying about him. 

 This is a photo of him from August last year. 

It was such a relief when I picked him up. He got through it, they had to bath him after they had removed all the excess fur, and he ate the food they gave him. So all is good. He is a new cat. I took some photo's but he wouldn't keep still, so they are a bit fuzzy. 

Now he has the slender body of a young cat, his tail is skinny, and he moves around much more easily. He sleeps, eats, and has his litter box upstairs. He can go outside if he wants to, and often goes into the garden for a couple of hours late afternoons. 

The cost? £440. He did have a couple of appointments for his nails to be trimmed  before this, but he attempted to bite the vet, so they said they could de-mat him at the same time if they could sedate him. 

I don't have pet insurance, I keep money aside for any treatments they might need. This is something people need to consider if anyone is contemplating getting a puppy or a kitten, or adopting an older pet. Throughout the animals life it could become very expensive. 

Now I can relax. I have to get the car ready for it's annual MOT test tomorrow.

A look at Kirton in Lindsey

I took a few photo's as I was wandering around Kirton yesterday. I had a couple of hours to fill until the Exhibition closed and I could pick up my picture. First of all I called in the Charity Shop to say hello to the lady who runs it. I had met her twice before, once at a Craft Fair, and once in Lincoln town centre. I browsed the clothes rails in her shop and chose a very nice long sleeved top. Then I went back to my car to change into my walking boots. 

I'm sure this building must have some history because it is on the playing field right next to the children's playground.  I can't find anything about it. Looks like it is a private house now. 

St Andrews Church. Locked today. I went to a Christmas Eve midnight mass here many years ago. 

This house looks like no one has set foot in it for a long time. Even the path to the front door is overgrown with weeds. 

Right next door is the Baptist Church. 1663 on the stone over the door. 

I decided to go and take a look at the Railway Station. The last time I was there, many years ago, someone was living in it. I didn't take a photo this time. This is a photo I took in 2013. The front garden is now full of bushes and trees. You can't see much of the house now. 

I was pondering which way to go next to make my way back to the town. A kindly young man asked if he could help as I studied the map. He showed me the way to a footpath which would cut a lot of road walking out. I set off across a field. As it came into Kirton it took me into a new housing estate. Some of it was finished and the houses were occupied, around the edge they were still building it. Can you see the Windmill hiding behind the trees. 

There you go. The countryside views are being lost behind mountains of concrete and bricks. 

I can't see any affordable homes here for first time buyers or young families. They are mainly detached and semi's. 

Don't worry though, they are all being fitted with ugly heat pumps. 

When I got home I made a lovely omelette. Underneath this lot is a slice of wholemeal seeded bread. I chopped up some spring onions, and added some pasta salad which needed eating up so chucked that in as well. A spoonful of beetroot chutney gave it a nice flavour. 

I will just put a note in here because I am getting a bit concerned about the mental health of my troll. Their comments are becoming quite bizarre and don't make any sense. They seem to be going off the rails and heading for a breakdown. I suggest they get some help. Maybe speak to a counsellor.

The devil looms

 This video is Dr Michael Yeadon speaking about Digital ID. He explains how it will enslave you. 

"If you sign up for Digital ID, it’ll be the last truly free decision you ever make."

Dr. Michael Yeadon, a toxicologist & former Pfizer executive, issues a dire warning: Digital ID isn’t convenience—it’s control. Once adopted, governments & institutions will recognize you only through this system. You cease to exist as a person. You become a QR code—an address to resources that can be edited, restricted, or revoked at will.

Life may become a little difficult if we/you refuse to comply.  I manage very well without a smartphone. I cannot scan QR codes. I don't buy online, and use cash in shops. It may be that I can't take the fastest route through life, but there is always a slower route to go around the houses. We will all arrive at the same place, but I won't sell my soul to the devil. 

Best wishes.   ilona   

I bought a picture.

 It will be a short one tonight, I've been nattering on the phone. I was out this afternoon at Kirton in Lindsey. It's a large village that is turning into a small town. I used to spend a lot of time there for a while, about 20+ years ago. Today I went to the Art Exhibition, and went for a walk as well. It has grown, new housing estates are springing up. 

I really liked this picture so I bought it. The colours jumped out at me. 

I took some photo's and will post them tomorrow. But for now, it's bed time.

Digging a bit deeper

 Saturday morning and I can see sunshine and blue skies from my window.

The weekend is looking good. 

I have found more information on the NHS data base which I wrote about the other day. Daniel the Black Belt Barrister has been covering it on his channel. Listen through to the end. 

Some comments. 982 so far.

Dentists have been doing this for years and how hard is it to see a dentist now on the NHS? This is a sinister move.

They are creating chaos in order to bring in digital ID. It's disgraceful

The breakdown of the social contract now includes doctor-patient confidentiality..

Simon Webb the historian on his History Debunked channel recently pointed out that last year alone (?) the NHS register swelled by over 100,000 people who where not born in this country.

Palantir has the contract for moderation of the NHS tech.

The only thing you can get an appointment for these days is vaccinations .

So that's how they are introducing digital ID then? Scan all your details into the government database or you won't get NHS treatment. That's worse than sneaky, it's downright evil

worked for the NHS from 2008-2026. Follow up waiting list cleansing was huge when I started and I highlighted it to the Consultants as they are liable for those patients. They obviously were furious. The trust had a new computer system in May 2025 and thousands of waiting lists disappeared into a black hole. Management has absolutely no idea how to find them. I still to this day don't think they've been recovered.

Comments are coming in here to my blog thick and fast. I have given my Admin Team the weekend off so they may recharge their batteries. Comments arriving may take some time to appear. They may be rejected for whatever reason. I trust my staff implicitly to make the right decision on my behalf. 

Enjoy your weekend, I will. Toodle pip.   ilona

Grot in the woods

Did I go back and pick the rubbish up in the woods. Yes. Bagging it up, tidying up, leaving the area clean. 

All ready to walk back to my car. 

I put a fresh bag in the trolley and walked up the road. The grass verges were full of bottles and cans. Another bag filled. 

My previous bags have been collected. It's easy enough for the Council to stop and pick them up when they are passing. 

I put a request in for more bags needed please, I am running out of them. The next day Candace sent me a message back. I've put them in the Volunteer Pod. They just appear, I don't have to pick them up from the Council Office. 

I had a look for a new gilet in Go Outdoors this afternoon. Sadly, they didn't have exactly what I wanted. Everything is in black or grey. All the jackets have high collars with the zip up to the chin. And the pockets aren't big enough. I have an old body warmer which I can use, it's about 40 years old. It will do for now until I find something a bit more colourful. 

I went in Morrisons because I was at that end of the town. Don't like it much in there, it's too big, and too busy. I picked up a few items with a basket. I wanted peanut butter made with 100% peanuts. I bought three jars. There were only two checkouts open all the rest were scan yourself. I stood behind someone who had filled his trolley. The lady on the till said I could move over to the scan yourself. I said, no thanks I will wait. She said they are short of staff that's why there is only two tills open. She was insistent and called a young assistant over to do the scanning for me. I agreed to that. The young lady had to go around all the self scanning tills to help other people put their shopping through. That seems daft to me, why didn't they just put her on a checkout. 

Have a good weekend. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.  ilona

A medical post

 Going back to May 23rd 2026, I wrote a post about receiving a letter from Capita plc asking me to confirm my details with the NHS. I did not reply to this as I do not want my information put into a Capita digital data base. You can read about it here. 

About a week ago I got some texts from our medical centre here asking me to contact them. I wondered why because I never hardly ever go there. I am not participating in the ongoing free jabby thing, that they keep sending me reminders for. Anyway, I walked across the road to our medical centre and spoke to a receptionist. They want to confirm my address. I did so, same address for 25 years. 

This video has come to light, a doctor talking about the digital database. 

The NHS has started removing patients from GP lists — and now plans to speed it up. Here’s what’s going on. 👇

6–7 million more registered patients than the Census shows. GP funding is per-patient, so NHS England is sending letters asking people to confirm their registration.

No response = flagged, then automatically removed within 3 months.

Now they want to remove reminder letters and go digital-only — risking vulnerable patients most.

If you get a letter, respond straight away.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone else, so I am happy to pass it on. Perhaps this is a choice that I am not able to make for myself. At the moment I don't need the NHS, except for free hearing aid batteries. I must be saving them thousands of £'s. I wonder what will happen if I should fall ill. I shall try not to.

Not very smart

 Pulling one out of the drafts folder. . I prefer to stay old school. Not joining in with this madness. Call me any names you like, I don't care. 

Today I have a few jobs to do locally. I want to buy a gilet with lots of pockets because I don't like carrying a bag. Big pockets, preferably with zips, where I can keep my valuables close to me when I am out and about. Camera, phone, keys, and cash. Probably won't find one to my liking in a charity shop so I will look in Go Outdoors for this garment. 

Have a good day. Toodle pip.   ilona

Trash in the woods.

The weather has been great for walking. Yesterday I walked along a track, a walk I have done many times before. Best take my stick and a bag in case I found some litter. And I did. A pile of it, mostly half buried in the wood. I dug it out but couldn't carry it all, so left most of it behind. 

I had wasted so much time gathering it all together. I knew I wouldn't have time to do the longer walk I set out to do. Best to make a detour up a very steep path to the top of the wood, coming out onto the road. Back home I emptied my carrier bag into a litter bin. 

I recorded a short video. Please excuse the wind noise, I was using a different camera.

Today I have been back to pick up that rubbish.

Common sense is overruled

 Not a good idea. They are letting more criminals in, so they should be building more prisons. 

More out on the streets, more crimes will be committed. Our ridiculous Government falling in line with their masters from above. Lock your doors, don't leave your pets unattended, always look behind you when walking about. Oh lordy, it gets worse.

Uncle Bill has it covered.

 Bill Gates strikes again as 3D printed plant based steaks reach the shelves in US grocery stores. Lovely just lovely Uncle Bill will look after you just like he did during the Scamdemic he helped to create.

Link to the web site. Planetfood.news. 

Now can you see how the Globalists are pushing to buy up farmland and cover it with solar and wind farms. Why they pay farmers to stop farming. Why the cost of fertilizer has risen so much that their crops will fail. Why they cover perfectly good farmland with tarmac to build little boxes to house all the invited guests. Why the cost of diesel is skyrocketing due to on going wars on the other side of the world. All connected. 

If you want to put this $h1te into your mouth, then go ahead. Then see what happens when your health takes a downhill plunge and you have to ask for medical help, and it won't be there because they have decimated the NHS. Good luck with that.

Sunny start to the day. It rained overnight which was needed. I am going to finish of a litter job that I couldn't complete yesterday. Need to get my car as close as possible to the site and walk to the pile of  rubbish with my trolley. 

The silly troll is continuing to give me some laffs, as they, him, her, she, it, spout their crap. They are showing all the signs of derangement, where they have a desire to project their insecurities onto someone else, because they can't cope. Try this one. . . . . In your dreams, sunshine.

Traveller commented on "Sorry not sorry"

Please do stop stalking me.

A line in thread

 Here is a post I pulled out of the drafts folder. The photo's I took at an Art Exhibition at The Ropewalk on Saturday. Jane Walker is the artist. She uses stitching and painting in her pictures. Here is a bit of blurb about her. 

Jane Walker is a Sheffield based artist who studied at the Royal Academy Schools graduating in 1990. Her artworks are influenced by cities and form abstracted urban landscapes, often drawing together painting and musical performance-based artworks.

I make 2-D art work, that relates to landscape painting. For a long while I made drawings of cities, now the work is abstract. I put structures in the surface then gradually fade them with horizontal lines. When the upright structures have become too difficult to see I put in new structures and repeat the process.

The small canvases are £80 each. I looked closely at them. They are all about stitches and texture, layered with paint. Can I make something like this. Should I try replicating her work. I neither like or dislike her pictures. My imagination has drawn a blank. The techniques she uses are interesting, that's all I can say about them. 

I had a chat with a man who was also viewing this exhibition. He went to art college years ago so it was interesting to get his perspective on this.

One bag is enough

 The day went as planned. It was a warm and sunny afternoon with a slight breeze. Perfect for a walk around the Blue Lagoon Pond. There is a footpath, but I searched every nook and cranny around the waters edge for every piece of litter I might find. I found a secret bench hidden up a slope behind some bushes. 

Two disposable barbeques found. 

Buzz balls are difficult to pick up with the stick. What a silly idea to put a drink inside one of these. 

A flower vase found in the bushes. Looks like it has been there a long time. 

I only half filled the bag at the pond so I went onto the Industrial Estate to top it up. Plenty of cans here.

 

One bag is enough, some glass bottles were bagged separately. 

Time to go home. It's starting to get dark about 7pm.
