(0656) Morning all. Slept a second sleep, dinn I, eh? Have not a clue what brogue that’s meant to be but it sounds appropriate. Anyway, back again. (0732)

 

9. Moosh corner

8. Age and sleep

Part of it’s age, part increased exercise, as distinct from poor-sleep when not exercising. I’d rather exercise and sleep in, eat properly. Two sleeps as normal? Normal for the ageing I’d say, along with smaller food portions. Alarming? I’d say not, along with decreased resistance to cold … aim with all of it is to adjust the lifestyle accordingly, rather than feel down.

As for the things we post here, not the most fun things in the main … this place is an outlet. You saw the Victor snippet about those at the pub discussing Reform … that’s one of the main functions of pubs, n’est-ce-pas? Not pleasant, political topics but to have an otlet is good for health … our health at least.

IYE mentioned eyesight … I had a bout of semi-blindness the other day … was wondering if it was computer radiation, combined with all the rest of it … sight came back but was prepared to adjust the blogging if it hadn’t.

Word I think I’m searching for is being “circumspect”, rather than in deep gloom and despair … about all of it. Faith helps keep spirits up.

b) The EU Scraps Equality Law in win for Freedom of Conscience. If passed, an EU-wide law would have forced Christian bakers to make cakes for same-sex weddings and [… dot dot dot]

c) According to The Khaama Press, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has labeled those who criticize the mass deportation of Afghan refugees “enemies of Pakistan.” *

*So much mendacious hypocrisy imho, not that he wants to do this (who wouldn’t, if sane) but what is never said is that it’s the dross no one wants … Afghan, Somali, Hamas territory. I’m perfectly happy to comply, to euphemise, to call the behaviour of those, which is actually below human acceptability, as wonderfully fine and upright in order to keep the stasi away. Not unlike calling them doctors and engineers.
