Well, I did my avoiding (cow) dairy for a month and finished just in time for Christmas Day – and all that choccy! 😉Â
This, you may remember, was to see if I could cut down on my long-term chronic inflammation which results in deafness (becoming almost permanent and almost total now unfortunately), nasal polyps, constantly having to clear my throat and sometimes having chest problems. Read the rest of this entry »
I was eating in my favourite tea room the other day and quizzing the staff about the menu choices as I’m shortly having to cut out all dairy from my diet for a while to see if I can suppress my nasal problems. I was amazed to be suddenly ‘preached at’ by a vegan at a nearby table who said; “Well, you’re not a baby cow are you?”
This led me to muse, on my subsequent fell walk, about the difference between vegetarians like myself and vegans – and the answer seems to me to be: vegans preach at people and vegetarians generally don’t! I’m sure this isn’t true in all cases but seems quite often to be the case… I personally wouldn’t dream of pulling up a carnivore for their food choices – to me, it’s none of my business – I’m sure they know what they’re doing…
No photos: I toyed with the idea of putting a photo of how I look now after a year of ill-health and exhaustion but it would be too horrific!
Well, I believe I’m part of the first draft of very late-retirees courtesy of Governmental Pension Age changes so I’m probably well-placed to issue a warning to future late-retirees what lies ahead. But first, a governmental style warning:
WORKING INTO YOUR MID OR LATE 60s WILL SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH! Read the rest of this entry »
As you may or may not know, the Government are trying to phase out gas central heating – new builds will not be able to fit it… but gas central heating is the only affordable heating there is! What the Government really want you to do is go all-electric for the sake of the environment. What they will not tell you is how exorbitant all-electric houses truly are – I know, I live in one!
I object to thugs hunting illegally here and trashing our wildlife but this took the biscuit I thought!
Just in case my dear readers are wondering, yet again, where I’ve got to this time and why I haven’t posted for ages – the reason is… COVID! 😦 Read the rest of this entry »
No photos – just a rant!
I haven’t been posting on my blog lately as you may have noticed (I’ve also left a lot of forums too). Â I’ve been trying to push myself into at least writing a post on why I haven’t been posting but the reason I haven’t been posting has stopped me! Â That reason? Sheer naked anger at the Government and their mistreatment of key workers during the pandemic! (excluding the NHS of course who’ve been looked after – I think the Government think they are the ONLY key workers!) Read the rest of this entry »
Was in a shop the other day next to a lady with a mask on who was paying at the till. Another lady in the shop suddenly laid into her verbally about wearing the mask… Read the rest of this entry »
Jack is spot on with this post! It’s far, far safer being spread out over wide areas in the mountains than it is cramming together on the lanes as I was today – never walked with so many people – and so closely!
A vernal pool on Figueroa Mountain. A male and female mallard were seen in the pool. March 27, 2020 I find it difficult to live in a society governed without reason. My mind operates logically. I am irascible by nature. I am not submissive. I am free thinking and independent. I do not subscribe to […]

I read yesterday in the news that there was snow on Cairngorm in Scotland – I was pretty surprised as that’s ridiculously early for Scotland. Read the rest of this entry »
