Man Of The Decade...


                                                  President of Ukraine  Volodymyr Zelenskyy 

This has to be the man of the decade. When asked by the Americans if he wanted to leave the country they would take him to safety. His reply "I don't want a ride...I want ammunition!" 

I bet he never, in his wildest dreams, thought this current situation would be happening when on the 20th of May 1999 he was elected by popular vote. 

It's hard to put into words what his people are going through. How over 44 million people living in peace can be disrupted by one man, one man!

No one since Hitler has caused so much sadness, on such a grand scale as Vladimir Putin.

As refugees, mostly women and children, leave their homes and their loved ones to remain and fight the ensuing army of  hundreds of thousands of Russians as they "try" to take over the country. So far they are not winning after five days and it seems many on the front lines are young inexperienced soldiers; many not even knowing just what they are doing there by all reports. It is said many young men captured thought they were on a training exercise. Some training exercise! Ukrainians are letting some of the young soldiers, some as young as 18/19, call back home to Russia and their worried parents

Now the heavies are moving in..cluster bombing and missiles rained down last night by all accounts. Even though back in Russia the public are being told they are not bombing people just military targets.

There is today, just reported, a convoy forty miles long heading towards Ukraine from Russia. As the world watches and sends weapons and personnel from surrounding NATO countries we can only hope the Russian troops can be held off, for if Putin is allowed to succeed, there is no knowing that if Ukraine is conquered it could be on to Poland. Then what would happen?

If the U.S. became involved and sent in troops I am certain it could be full on nuclear war,..then there is always China which is closely aligned to President Putin. Anything...absolutely anything could happen then.

Maybe China will pull President Putin back into line, if his own people and army don't in the meantime, for if he continues to threaten to use nuclear missiles I fear, as along with so many who are far, far, more knowledgeable than I, if that happens the world will be no longer be how we know it no matter where in the world we live. 

There will be nowhere to hide.....



The thoughts are purely my own. Wishing PEACE to the world...🙏

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think.

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess

On a lighter note...

 Do you talk to your pet? Of course you do, everyone does, although some would not admit to it 😃 "How did you sleep?...have any dreams?" I ask as I uncover my parrot...YES parrot!! I know..I know..but we all do it 😏 "Just going out now...see you soon", as I leave the apartment, I call to a bewildered looking bird alone in her cage..sorry house...don't like the term cage...think I have mentioned that before. On return "Hello love👋👋," and met with screams of welcome home or in bird language it could just  mean ...LET ME OUT.....LET ME OUT you idiot leaving me alone...what are you thinking...expletive..expletive!!  Which of course I obey and once the welcome scratches and more talking has taken place, she takes up residence on the bed...or the lounge...or the drawer, whichever is the preference that moment. It changes constantly and I obey every command.  Well trained...me.. not the bird! Pets...what would life be without them. I know they are sometim
