In 2011, British Illusionist Derren Brown conducted an experiment that I have never forgotten. In Remote Control, audience members for a game show are asked to wear anonymous masks and dictate the ongoing fate of an unsuspecting, secretly filmed member of the public. The show takes a look at the horror that emerges when people are allowed to make anonymous decisions as part of a crowd.

When I was a kid, I used to go to the movies on a Saturday morning. Or, as my late Uncle used to call it, The Flicks. Others called it “ The Pictures “ or “ The cinema” … no matter, we went to see a movie and it cost a shilling.
We would all sit down in our seats, the lights would dim and a movie of a Lady on a horse would appear. We would stand up for the Lady on the horse and sing about saving the Queen.

What is a blog?
Something that is a diary, online, from a person who wishes to share their thoughts and feelings on matters that are of current importance to the owner of the blog.
It is not a news site. We invite opinions from others on the matters that the diarist writes, but on the whole, a diarist ( blogger ) invites others to comment.
What damage are we doing to our bodies by wearing these masks that contain particles of plastic and are known to be dangerous?
Disposable face masks (single use face masks) are produced from polymers such as polypropylene, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, or polyester.
Microplastic or Nanoplastic particles in masks are breathed into the airways and can have damaging long-term effects on the health of the lungs.
I watched a video this morning from a young man somewhere in America. I have no idea who he is. But the words he spoke made me wonder why I have never heard from him or of him in the past.
I have transcribed, as best I can, his 3 minute video and I hope that you will join me in saying : " well done young man. Well done."
If anyone knows who he is please let us know. I would love to hear from him again.

In March 2019, The New York Times ran a shocking story exploring why many prominent US cities were abandoning their recycling programs.
“Philadelphia is now burning about half of its 1.5 million residents’ recycling material in an incinerator that converts waste to energy,” Times business writer Michael Corkery reported. “In Memphis, the international airport still has recycling bins around the terminals, but every collected can, bottle and newspaper is sent to a landfill.”
Our beloved and adored writer Redhead, suffered a loss this afternoon. It was 2.30 pm when her loyal and devoted Jack Russell terrier departed this realm for the Rainbow Bridge.
I have just spoken with Mum, and she, like me is relieved that he has finally gone. It has been a tough 5 days for Redhead and her darling fur baby. I am sure that you will feel, as I do, that her loss is Heaven's gain.
But the tears are falling and we are so sad to lose such a wonderful little lad who has been her companion for 17 and a half years.

Today you hear of so many incidents, I cannot call them stories , of cruelty , neglect and down right 'don't give a damn " that you get to the stage where you say , please don't go into the details it is too upsetting. I can't listen to any more distressing tales of what some one has done to a child, an animal, or an elderly person.
For over 100 years prior to WW1, America had pursued a policy of neutrality and isolation. This policy prevailed until 1917 when President Woodrow Wilson persuaded Congress to allow US forces to fight alongside Britain and France in the interests of preserving democracy and world peace. America did not enter a formal alliance but fought alongside the Allies.
An interesting analysis…worth the read – I am not saying I agree or disagree with the thoughts therein but some interesting points. I don’t know the identity of the original author & of course as we all know ne’er the twain shall meet when it comes to politics and/or religion but here are some thoughts to ponder. Suffice to say, some interesting times ahead.....
