Oh, do put a sock in it. Pubs have been closing since long before the NI increase. People have new ways of socialising and drink far less than they used to.

The harmful elements used in each missile or whatever is used is being put into the atmosphere. This is probably adding to any of our attempts to reduce climate change and increases in temperatures. The effects will last for decades.

#bbcaq War brings death and despair to humans and all life.

But...all these wars have their physical effects. Obliterating large areas. The debris must be causing untold damage. Going into the ground. Into the air and being breathed in. Winds will be taking it around the world

Since it's highly unlikely that Trump and Netanyahu's war will actually liberate the people of Iran I don't see how that can be used as a justification for choosing to start it.

🧡These past weeks my mood has been calm and relaxed. Amazing considering what is going on.

Today was lovely too. Went off into a very deep sleep approx 3 hours ago. Did I dream? No idea.

But I have woke on a massive downer. The only upside is I now accept mood swings 1/

I was none the wiser but my friend phoned to tell me that we had quite a snow fall this morning but it did not lay.

I tried to stay awake but have slept. Nothing is spoiling. Music is on. Had a drink. Meds and vits. Nibbled on this and that at lunch time 🀣 I will bother more later.

I did thirty minutes of news when I got home. Now at 10pm tuned into Curtin Radio in Perth Australia with oldies and a breakfast show host with dry humour. Have had a small snack and a warm drink. Relaxing.
