My life

Just watched a chilling film on the BBC about companies re-creating your lost love ones in VR, so you can carry on talking to them. I was horrified at first. Mostly because they creat them from their old social media posts. Which set me wondering. What if my family wanted to re-creat me from my old Blogit posts? I very much doubt they do. But what if a future ME wanted to re-invent the olf ME. Just to find out what I was really like? It's a subject I've toyed with over the years. I think was it... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is it that all my emails get hacked? Not exactly broken into, but somehow the scammers can find them and my spamming alerts are full Somehow they can track me across the world and target my accounts. I am seriously considering opening up new email accounts in order to preserve important things like my Microsoft account. Not to mention the bank and the business account. I have to admit these email accounts were opened years ago, when I was involved in pyramid selling. So the spammers have me... Sign in to see full entry.

I really want to add things of substance here. I can remember when I would work on an article in the hope of selling it to a professional website. We have A.I. for that now. The articles I wrote were very rewarding. Even if I never made a penny from them. The subjects were wide and varied because I genuinely wanted to say something. Now, I just struggle through the day, moaning about my lot. I once read an article saying that many 19th-century novelists wrote long books because that was the only... Sign in to see full entry.

Waited in all day for the visiting Doctor, who never turned up. If there is anything left of the National Health Service, I would have thought this still worked. Mother does feel a bit better, although the trapped nerve in her back isn't letting up. She agrees to stop taking the co-codamal tablets, as they do little to help. We had weeks of doing nothing and when it comes to it, everything falls at once. I had to cancel my dental appointment and put it back to Friday. The Wilson Alarms man is...

After a year away, I've decided to come back and take up writing again. Can't say why it took so long, but I always felt at home here and enjoyed the writing. It's not up to me, to say if it was my best writing, but there were some moments when I felt I got to the point. A lot has happened to our family. I'm a full-time carer for my mother, and we have never been more financially well off. The stocks I buy do very well, and I almost feel guilty about saying it. In fact, I'm not entitled to any...

I can remember this as being the most important book in our house. If you let it drop on the table it automatically fell open on the toys page. The whole economy seemed to rest on this at the time. Now we call it Ebay, but it was for us a window on a world we could only dream about. Other than that: Burley horse trials week. Weather misty, but warm. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

Not much, as usual, but some things have changed. Took Mum to the hospital for a cardiac check-up. She has to be fitted with a monitor for 48 hours. She did not want to go, but I convinced her, and she was OK. On the home front, we have an outhouse which was taken over by a colony of pigeons. They caused a horrible mess, but they became almost like pets. Quite tame and in the early days we put food out for them. But they caused too much stress for the neighbours and we had to evict them all. At... Sign in to see full entry.

This time last year RAF Coningsby recorded a temperature of 42, which was the record. The airfield is about 20 miles from us. There are people suffering a lot more in the world, but we are not unaware of climate change, and the future is worrying. China recorded over 50. What can we do? In the Uk it is too little too late. Right now we have a lot of rain, which may ruin the harvest if it continues. But I feel nothing is really being done and the world is just over populated. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

Just spend 2 hours ensuring no one can break into my Microsoft account. Had an email from AOL saying that someone had tried to hack the account. That was 2 months ago, and every now and again, I get a request from Microsoft saying that someone has had a go. I've even had people trying to ring the landline trying to scam me. So the conclusion is, that someone had tried to take apart my old AOL email account and hack all the web pages associated with it over the past 20 years. I've installed a lot...

You can't help feeling good to be alive on these sunny mornings. When I go down to feed Mother's horse, at 6.45 in the morning, the only things I see are me; the horse; sheep and the crows. Traffic is bad on the motorway, but where we are is all calm. Life is not bad at the moment. Mother wants to get better, and even the finances are coming around. I have a few other wacky ways of making money, but I want to put them on another page, as people get moody about gambling and the dark arts. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.
