OR, IN THE WOODS AGAIN. NOT MUCH TO SHOW EXCEPT THOSE AUTUMN COLOURS.
Below is my personal award to Westminster City Council :
‘THE BIG TIT MUSHROOM IN SHIT‘ AWARD.
I wrote this a while back and couldn’t finish it as my laptop kept crashing! I’m back at Mayfair library and all Westminster City Council system has been hacked, but gloriously they still have Wi-Fi. This a source of great amusement today as I have been going on the demos against digital ID for the last few weeks now, its even made the cover (finally) of our local rag West End Extra.
“CYBER ATTACK HITS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.”
“Hack hits online tax payments, complaints. waste collections collections and more.”
So library has been hit too and books are being taken out by good old trust system. It’s wonderful and quaint and of course everyone has been getting misty eyed about the old library cards and filing etc. I’m loving it just sitting here bathing in the old-fashionedness of it all ! This occurred on the 24th and will not be resolved for ‘several weeks’.
So all those trusting the bloody science just don’t anymore,; anything can be hacked as could your digital ID if you’re foolish enough to allow it to happen by inertia and ennui.
Next London demo December 13 from BBC at one I believe, I’ll check and update this with all the details. Be strong and do not comply.
BACK TO THE WOODS…..
If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise! Well not really but I went very early and walked barefoot as usual to ground myself and no, my foot didn’t get cold! I normally have cold feet at home but it seems that they are fine when out walking in the dewy grass in November.
I was disappointed in my mushroom finds just because I’m greedy and was planning a lovely late breakfast; my tummy was growling and so was I. Anything edible was past its sell by date but the views and the air were magnificent. Clearly I’d have to settle for nibbling some sorrel and dandelions; such is life.
Things seem to be spring like rather than autumnal in the meadows, lush fresh grass and herbs springing up and as I had altered my usual trail I went past the water gardens and there were huge crops of fresh stinging nettles which I would have loved to gather (healthier than spinach) but alas I had no gloves with me so couldn’t even do that dammit.
Just the three hour walk today as I arrived so early I want food now in this magical swirling leaves forest. Fresh and clean air here and it does give a healthy appetite, especially when you ain’t had breakfast.
Cutting this short as I have a big Christmas one to write. It looks like Mexico hasn’t finished with me! I just had a call with a new lovely offer from Neekluum so I could yet travel there to live my dream….
OVER AND OUT FROM A OLD AND HOPEFUL TURKEY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
