Western Europe, this winter, will be a terrible place to be living, if you're not super-rich, it will be dark, cold & largely without food in the shops or warehouses, the only vehicles on the roads, will be state security & military, plus a few police & ambulances to serve the rich communities. They're creating a famine as well as an energy shortage, with hugely increasing inflation, unemployment & rapidly shrinking stocks of everything, including essentials, there will be a lot of civil unrest, so expect martial law to be declared right across western Europe, probably by mid September, just after Russian energy, food & agricultural supplies to Europe, excepting Hungary & possibly Serbia, have been entirely switched off.
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 ...
