My life

A big "thank you," to everyone who sent me such kind thoughts. Mother is doing a lot better. She has speech impediments, but they are a lot better since last week. It has shaken her up so much she has promised to stop smoking. I am looking after the horse. Well feeding it and mucking it out. It eats, and goes out; then it eats and goes in. It's no more complicated than that. The family goes and sees her in Peterborough hospital every other day. As she does not want us there every day. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Have not posted much as Mother has a stroke and is in hospital. She's doing OK but it has affected her speech. Waiting to see if she can come home. Sign in to see full entry.

If you could get across to someone, the true horror of having to work in a factory production line? Nothing can tell the story of someone trapped there for years on end. All hope goes and you start to doubt yourself and why you are here. Getting ground down year by year, until you cease to exist. We only subcontracted to this factory, but ours was not much better. All gone now, being levelled for housing, but no loss to humanity. Sign in to see full entry.

Everything is about the queen and the funeral. We have a few more days of this left, and there is a bank holiday on Monday. The markets are paying so little with no real movements. It's easier to bet on the market going down, than up. I make more money gambling on football at the moment. I know nothing about football, but I know a lot about websites, and picking the right ones with the right advice is everything. Found this picture on Pinterest of the Exchange and Mark. Back in the early days,... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is it, that after two world wars, we have learned nothing? On an island built on coal in a sea surrounded by oil and gas. we are worse off now than in the last 100 years. It's almost as if our memories have been wiped clean. Even wood for logs is in short supply now. And we are better off than most. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

Just had the bad news that our rent is to go up. We wonder how much longer we can go on living here. There are places all around much cheaper, but we have to stay in the area for several reasons. Big dilemma, but we can hang on at least until Christmas. Hope the business account picks up and I get my money back on bitcoin. Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday Mum and I went to the Burghley Horse Trials in Stamford. I'm not very horsey, but Mum is. It was the first large event we have attended since the pandemic, and it was so strange to see so many people. People as far as the eye could see. Hope things are getting back to normal.

Just had a tax rebate so I can carry on for at least another year. I missed making entries here, as it's the only new writing I do. As for us, little has changed. We do face another threat from the Landlords Strutt & Parker as they want to raise the rent. Which we can't afford. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Big Hello to anyone who reads this post. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.
