Western mercenaries have been arriving in Ukraine for weeks, but since the Russians took an entire military base, wiping out billions in weaponry & fuel & also killing many, many combatants, with a single hypersonic missile, the flow of western mercenaries has now started to reverse & they're leaving faster than they arrived..
Good riddance, to bad rubbish.. To a Nauseatingly Crass Bunch of Stupid & Violent, but Wimpish, Whiny Wankers.. ..I really dislike mercenaries, men who profit from war, I suppose you could say, "at least they fight", but they only do so under very strict conditions, the first of which is, that they are at no point, in danger of being shot-at or hurt in any way.
Saturday, late afternoon, the remanants of a cup of coffee have gone cold, the fire is warm, making the room seem cosier than it would otherwise be. The rain is intermittent, but a downpour is sure to come. Got a stinker of a cold, so informed Deacon that unfortunately, I won't be attending service tomorrow.
Going to have a nice hot meal, of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic & herbs, with a side of steamed savoy cabbage, done over the pan of pot's.
I think a hot bath and early bed, are definitely on the cards for tonight, I'll read until I can't, then I'll put out the light & go to sleep. I've got cocoa, so a big mug of steaming hot cocoa beteween exiting the bath & going to bed, will be a nice way to end the evening.
I hope you are well & remembering to live, as well as being the worker/fixer/boss/co-owner/whatever. We must be mindful of the welfare of others, at all times, at all times except when we need to put ourselves first, temporarily, when it's time to recharge ...
