Obvious

 Good morning. I've been thinking about this for a long time. If they are going to welcome people from all around the world to land on our shores, put them up in hotels, give them three meals a day, give them cash to spend, give them a phone, why would you then ship them back out to where they came from. It's not going to happen.

Accepting immigrants is a long term arrangement. They say we need more younger people to do the work, pay taxes, to pay the pensions of older people. But our new guests are not allowed to work, so what are they supposed to do all day? Why would you want to work anyway when you get everything free. 

So, there are thousands of young men wandering the streets with no ambition to do anything, no prospects to better themselves, and no inclination to integrate into our British ways. 

But there is one way that these young men can ensure that their position to stay in the UK is guaranteed. All men need sex. They all have sexual urges. I know that is a sweeping statement, and yes there will be some who can control themselves. But there will be a lot who cannot. So what do they do? Strike up relationships with each other, or take the obvious route and chat up younger naive girls. To guarantee a permanent home in the UK they just have to get a girl pregnant. So obvious. 

I have a video uploading. It will appear later today.

Building a business.

Hello. If anyone is thinking of selling their wares at a craft fair, village fete, or agricultural show, this is me at my Mr Puss stand which I took around the country to mainly cat shows, and other events. 

It's not enough to put a cloth on a six foot table, and lay your goods out on that. To create an impact you need to add height. I built a step frame for the mugs and small ornaments, and covered it in red velvet. You also need something to hang things on. I transported my stock in those stackable plastic boxes, and used them at the back of my pitch to support two poles which I attached cross bars to, with heavy duty clips and D clamps. Perfect for clothing and bags. If you have electricity take a couple of small directional lamps.  

A six foot table is not really big enough. You can put some boxes at the front, cover them with a cloth and put stock out there. If there is plenty of room either side you could take a small table and place it at the side, but don't upset the person next to you by encroaching on their space. If you are alone you need to make friends with your neighbour in case you need to go to the toilet for a few minutes. Can you watch my stall while I go to the ladies. 

If you are selling small high value items try not to place them too near the front of the table. Keep them further back so you can keep your eye on them. 

This was my weekend job when I was a self employed lorry driver. It was a business so I had an accountant. I enjoyed it. Nothing was handmade, everything was bought in from wholesalers. During busy times I was working seven days a week. It all had to stop when sales were dropping due to people not having any spare money. The cost of the pitch was more than my takings were. You can't run a business like that. At least I still had an income from the driving. 

If you fancy doing something like this give it a try, though it probably isn't the right time at the moment. 

It's been a lovely day in the garden today. Let's hope we get more sunshine.

Ghostly !

 Is anyone watching Jeanlouis Reels on facebooook? Photo's and short videos keep popping up here. Don't know who is posting them. They are mostly short videos of a man with orange batons waving his arms to guide an incoming aircraft to it's parking place. He is usually covered head to toe in black. Only his torso is visible when he puts on a high viz vest.  He jumps about and makes the whole job fun. He said he loves his job, and it shows. I am sure he has other duties to perform.

Now there are other aircraft shots being added to the channel. I particularly like this one.  

And this one. 

WOW. Amazing photography.

Stunning. 

I took Mickey to the vet this morning. He stopped eating. It has happened before, twice. Each time the vet gave him an injection and he perked up again. Now he has had a third and I have to monitor what he eats and how much. Apparently he has an incurable condition which causes him pain, that's why he stops eating. He can have more injections as long as they are a month apart. If they no longer work then the vet may prescribe a stronger pain killer. He is such a gentle and sweet boy.

This afternoon I set off for a walk and wondered if I should turn back. It was so cold, even though the sun was out. The wind whipping across the fields was making my eyes water and my nose dribble. I stuck it out and carried on. I had extra clothing in my rucksack which I had to put on. 

Now Mayze wants a cuddle. She has been out in the garden all day.

Introducing Charlie

Good morning. I have accumulated quite a substantial amount of naysayers on my blog. They berate me for exploring different media channels in pursuit of information about what is going on. That is fine by me, everyone has an opinion. Those who look for confrontation here would do well to do their own research in social media, and instead of spitting feathers on other people's blogs, they would be better to start their own blog. I have to add here, that some blogs have turned into cess pits for haters. They wallow in misery together. 

Anyway, while looking for information I have recently come across Charles Veitch. He posted this video 15 years ago and now has 528k subscribers. 

I have posted his latest video on my other blog, The Rabbit Hole, (Talking to myself).  What he says makes perfect sense to me. 

I wish you a good day. I have to ring the vet because I have a poorly cat. 

Catch ya later. ilona
