Best to phone the Samaritans rather than posting on a website?

Last book you read?
I went to Morocco in December and read the below books.
Susan Gilson’s history of modern Morocco.
Emily Gottreich’s book about Jews in Morocco.
Museum with no Frontiers book of Islamic art in Morocco.
Gavin Maxwell, Lords of the Atlas.
I haven’t read any books since then but ask me in a month’s time and I hope to give you another answer!

What is the hardest you have ever worked? 🥵 😇
When in my tree planting volunteering
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/scotland
We were planting native trees and had to remove Sitka spruce. They had been cut down by commercial loggers with a chainsaw, but the loggers hadn’t gone to the most remote part of the field that their tractor couldn’t reach.
So we walked there and sawed and pulled out the sitka because otherwise they’d suffocate native trees. The things are determined to live, though! It took so much work to pull them out and I couldn’t help thinking it wasn’t their fault that some humans put them there and some other humans took them out, but go they must.

How old will you be turning this year?
I’ll be 39 in April and I’ll be coming home from the highlands, a bit sad to not be in my holiday any more but I will enjoy the day in edinburgh before getting on that train.

Whats the weather like?
It’s going badly!
The weather for months, apart from two weeks, has been unnaturally warm and wet. I say unnaturally because this is all thanks to climate change.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/22/uk-weather-storm-jocelyn-to-follow-isha-with-more-strong-winds-and-heavy-rain
About 10 years ago, uneducated people often said global warming probably isn’t happening and if it did it would be good as they got nice summers with more sun. Presumably they didn’t mean the heatwaves of 2018, 2022 and 2023, all of which are what used to be called once in a generation events.
Also, a mild winter is almost guaranteed to be wetter than cold/normal weather, leading to floods, whereas a hot summer may be intolerably dry.
Thankfully I haven’t suffered from it myself (apart from taking longer to get home as the trains were all cancelled), but we’ve surely had enough wake-up calls by now?

is there any quotes you find inspiring?
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Timeless wisdom there!
Also it isn’t inspiring because I don’t like to hear its message, but it is VERY true in all times and places that “ he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath”.
I was just thinking about this when paying into the share scheme at work. Of course I have more than someone who doesn’t have such a thing, or someone who doesn’t have a job at all. But my manager, who pays in ten times what I pay in (£100 a month against £10) will get more than ten times what I get out at the end. So it is just this iron law of life!

What’s your favourite food?
A three course meal would go as follows.
Leek & potato soup and low gi bread & butter.
Roast lamb dinner.
Sticky toffee pudding.
Washed down with a shot of amaretto and a bag of herbal tablets. (Midlands thing).

Name me the best sport:)
Cycling!
Sadly not much competitive cycling this winter, but I’ll be tuning in as soon as the Giro d’Italia kicks off!
I support British athletes and hope that Pidders, or one of the Yates brothers, or another one of ours goes all the way in the Tour de France this year.
But whatever happens on the podium, it’s always exciting!

What is a restaurant you refuse to eat at and why?
Anywhere that doesn’t take cash. I have cards and use them, but I don’t want to go somewhere that discriminates against older and poorer people who don’t, or who choose to pay in cash because it helps with budgeting.
In this way, I avoid overpriced hipster outlets that I’d be unlikely to enjoy anyway.
Also, anywhere with a hygiene rating of 2 or lower.

The 3rd Monday of January is often called “Blue Monday” here in the West. The term was coined in 2004 by a psychologist who claimed (without scientific evidence btw) that it was the most depressing day in the year. So how has your day been today? I hope all your spirits are in reasonable shape 🙂👍
I didn’t do that much other than work, but I do like to keep busy in January to fend off the winter blues. Next weekend, therefore, I’m doing this.

What is the scariest dream you have ever had? 💭 🙀 😇
When on a huge cannabis overdose in April ‘22. I was partly awake and partly asleep. I went from burning in hell to being eaten by worms, then I dreamed I was in prison because I was a murderer, and all my family were against me because of my crimes.
I remember at the very beginning of my trip, the sane part of me told me not to leave the room and that asking for help would do more harm than good. Three hours later I was opening a window (it was below freezing outside), drinking water and falling asleep without dreams.
That morning, instead of going for a long walk around Lake Tahoe (which is where I was), I went for a short walk, rested, went for another short walk, and once I’d done my exercise/rest, had a normal day!

Do you believe in any ‘conspiracy theories’? If so, what?
Yes, I believe in a conspiracy.
I believe that Putin and his henchmen meddle in western countries and in other countries. They ‘helped’ bring about Brexit, Trump is fully under their control, and using false claims about ‘anti-imperialism’ are building an empire in Africa, using the Wagner Group, which still exists although Putin had its founder killed.
Because they only care about their own power, they want to undermine the west, which all right-wing ‘patriots’ are doing, but they’ll also sponsor anti-vax ers & even rioters who seem to be the opposite,but (horseshoe theory) all have at least one thing in common, and its that they were made in Moscow.
