Wednesday [1 to 5]

(0533) Morning all. Light appeared slightly at 0459, by 0525 it was 80% light in the sunroom, but there was heavy nimbus out there and there has been earlier rain. How do I know? I had to check in response to DAD’s “Test” post at 1380:3 … that response by me is continued in Wed 1 below here. (0627)

 

5. Planning any boat or shed building soon?


4. Would you prefer the official food guidelines

… as put out by three letter agencies and big pharma, on packets, or would you prefer “The Food Babe”?


3. The steal


2. DAD at 1380:4

a) On the sidelines of the Africa Forward summit, Emmanuel Macron called on dual nationals to fully embrace their dual identity: “Being dual national means being 100% French and 100% from one’s country of origin.”

b) France. Bobigny (93): A magistrate tasked with combating narcotics admits to his own addiction to methamphetamine and chemsex; he obtained his supply within his own jurisdiction.

c) France. Agde (34): After being tasered and taken into custody for vandalism with a machete, a Roma man in his sixties died in his cell after hitting his head against the walls. Witnesses described him as a “hysterical individual, unable to control himself.”

d) France. Vegetables, bread, meat… Food vending machines have proliferated in rural communities… but are increasingly targeted by acts of vandalism and looting, which cost their owners dearly.

e) France. The left-wing politician wanted to get her money back. That could summarize the case that the 13th Criminal Chamber of Paris is to examine this Tuesday afternoon, with the slight difference that the left-wing politician in question – Sophia Chikirou – allegedly broke the law in the process. 

1. Response to DAD at 1380:3 continues

The interesting aspect of DAD’s “Test” comment is why … why had it not appeared? (By the way, rain has just started heavily falling now outside at 0543.)

It may have been something in DAD’s works over there … had not clicked send … or had clicked send but something had delayed it. Let’s say the latter … he has Macron to contend with, we have Starmer, there is trouble with Ada and Eva and five others related to TR Saturday … thus the cyber agencies were delaying posts to peruse them.

Might have been, perhaps not. Either way, DAD’s drop came through. And you’ll notice … only DAD’s. We know Steve has gone away for R&R.

But there’s another aspect … Monday’s drops saw this:


And there it stopped. The streak stopped. 158 days, goes back now to 1. Was going to put up a new post, then thought nah … let’s have NOWP as a DAD blog just now … why not? ☺️

Tuesday [16 till close of play]

(1533) It’s been mainly deliveries and chores which have eaten up the time, with four hours sleep. Let’s restart. And now sign off at (22:59) Night night all.

 

27. Just thinking

… there I go again … I’ve quite a few items from X but it’s convoluted to run them as separate items this late in the evening. So …


26. The well placed snooze

Ah had a thought!

Yes, frightening, that. Ah had a thought about snoozes. Ah had a thought that if the natural tendency, after blogging 0500 to around 1230, is to snooze in the afternoon, why not a half hour rest instead, then some more RL jobs, then snooze late afternoon until 2030 say, then blog a bit again, as I’m doing now?

Coz it’s more reader friendly being here at this time, your time. For example, I can go to X for developments now. Just an idea, thinking out loud as it were. Shall think on’t. What’s your pattern?

25. Uncanny what we have coming up tomorrow till Friday


I’m referring above to the YT on charity shops … was not planning the BB thing at that point. Uncanny really how it all goes.

24. Post-snooze notes

Yep, crashed around our late afternoon, until our 2008 hours, now 2025. Still light out there but not for long. Plan to fall sleep around midnight (current cunning plan). Not being a complete idiot here, just a part one … this shows signs of age.

Toods and I had been discussing Steve, if he’s ok. He will be but needed R&R, so do y’all, good readers … I’m conscious that you manage your time now maybe better than you once did. It’s basically two speed living now … crash for awhile, then physical activity … don’t be caught in the armchair, sedentary trap.

Now, Babylon Bee … you might know them for the humour (with or without the “u”). They also do typical Christian charity work, which I think I’ll write ✝️ian from now on for the bots. My position at Unherdables is that we readers know very well what “Charities” are, so to find one which is not corrupt is the whole point.

Am I right in thinking that we like to give, it’s a tradition, even if we are a bit skint, but no longer trust Charity fatcats or those concerts for warlords’ lavish lifestyles in Africa and the Caribbean. Sadly, that’s very real. That’s why I do not offer these next two paragraphs with any sort of “sell” attached to it, just posting it, that’s all:

“This summer, you and your family, group, class or church can provide a practical blessing and encouragement by filling Action Packs for persecuted Christian families during their time of great need. Each pack is filled with daily necessities like soap, a towel and a bedsheet.

VOM has shipped thousands of Action Packs to persecuted Christians over the past two decades, but front-line workers in hostile areas and restricted nations report that the need is still great. You can show your love for our persecuted brothers and sisters by giving them tangible help through an Action Pack.”

Now I am not pushing this Voice of Martyrs, just putting it up here, which is our prime directive or mission at Unherdables. Often I skip over the BB and Gab type requests, obviously, old Christian charities too, e.g. the Salvos … well, I have no idea how sound they are these days … we hear horrendous tales of graft, Wokery.

And that’s that for now.

Tue Mat

 

“Having lost two agents in Berlin, British intelligence chiefs arrange for American agent Quiller to report to the local controller, Pol, and continue the assignment, which is to find the headquarters of Phoenix, a neo-Nazi organization.”

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 60% of critics have given the film a positive rating, based on 15 reviews. Variety wrote that “it relies on a straight narrative storyline, simple but holding, literate dialog and well-drawn characters”. Ian Nathan of Empire described the film as “daft, dated and outright confusing most of the time, but undeniably fun” and rated it with 3/5 stars.[9]

Tuesday [11 to 15]

(0947) Deliveries, cooking for a few days, lunch, just finished, cream-crackered. I need to complete Tue 11. (1201)

11. Saw this on Quora just now

… from a lady called Colleen Wysocki:

“My mom is now 65 years old and she is a covert narcissist. One night I was in her house and I heard her crying in her room, I went to see what was happening, why she was crying. Then she started to tell me how she wasted her whole life. And she said she never should’ve married my dad and her life would’ve been so much better if she hadn’t.

My parents got married when my mom was 22 years old, and back then she hadn’t a family, she had no education and no money, nothing at all. My dad worked so hard and he became a teacher, made a good life and always treated her well. He never hit her and never cheated and he never even drank.

With all of that she was miserable, and of course in her opinion, it’s always someone’s fault. Now she sits in her room every night drinking and feeling sorry for herself. She tells herself that she is special and that she could’ve gone far in her life if my dad hadn’t ruined everything.”

Classic hypergamy. Also, daughters often enough support one or the other. How to get across to someone like that mother that she’d caused him to give up hope? Of course, it could have been the other way with the next family … sort of a Ryan Giggs maybe.

There’s an ego factor, a dumbness factor too. Dumb and greedy is not a good mix.

I sometimes look back and wonder … could I have visited more countries? Could I have done this or that? What fraction good to bad? I’d say 5/8 good, 2/8 my own bad choices, 1/8 diabolical luck but 2 of the first 5/8 maybe the Guardian Angel.

Tuesday [6 to 10]

(0705) Morning those awake … dawn saw silhouetted cumulo-nimbus outside, pink dawn from the south-east, now become the bleah 8/8 poisoned cloud cover. Have a wunnerful day, all. (0726)

 

10. Moo corner

… not quite a tram but who’s arguing?


9. What did ladies do back in the day?


8. This is from a Reform voter

… not sure about Bob though:


7. One from downunder

6. Another couple of Steve type items

Take your pick there.

Tuesday [1 to 5]

(0447) Greetings readers. Steve is taking some well-earned and much needed time off, we all need R&R, he also has RL things which have happened and need attending to, as I must this Thursday. Unherdables must go on at this crucial point … in fact it’s hotting up and this early morning slot seems important for many readers. Cunning plan here is to use many of Steve’s sources and I’ll do a skeleton report for now each day … today’s later.

 

5. Archbish Vigano interesting piece


4. This would have been Steve’s slot at 1380

… I’ll have a look at some of his sources … first Gateway P:


Cunning plan is not to do the immense amount Steve covers all at once but to spread it over the day, except this Thursday.

3. Just have a quick look at today’s Lord Toby newsletter


While there are certainly the regular features in red, the expanded first item below shows an interesting author. There are two Bells of note to us for those with memories, brothers I believe, and one was the Hillsborough and later Common Purpose honcho. Yet here he is, invited to write to dissident Britain … interesting, huh?

2. DAD at 1380

a) Matthéo, 9 years old, a footballer from Auchy-les-Mines (62), was knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly in the torso and head by five young players from Creil (60)…. (JH: General post later on such things)

b) LFI (La France Insoumise) hit by a cyberattack: 120,000 activist data exposed. [Melenchon’s lot.]

c) France. Former minister Caroline Cayeux convicted of tax fraud: she had understated her assets by 11.7 million euros and committed wealth tax fraud….

d) Eurovision 2026: Croatian group Lelek shocks Turkey with tattoos of Christian resistance against Ottoman slavery. (JH: Another general post later.)…

1. Ada Lluch is one of the “Ban-ees”

… her native Spain has our probs cranked up even further:

Monday [11 till close of play]

(1519) Afternoon all. Have run the TPUSA thing on X. Was going to cover the Restore infighting (which I was part of) but it’s sorted … kudos Charlie Downes.

 

23. Eva

22. Amelia, bless her

21. DAD on that speech at 1380

Starmer’s hail mary “reset” speech this morning was around 65% reheated from the Labour conference address he delivered eight months ago in Liverpool. 

|https://order-order.com/2026/05/11/65-of-starmers-reset-speech-was-recycled-from-conference-address/

A line-by-line analysis shows the same family anecdotes (albeit without the signature “toolmaker” refrain) , the same attack lines on Farage, the same education policy, and large chunks of the same phrasing. As if it wasn’t torturous enough the first time…

20. Moo corner


19. Is Cyprus Greek?


18. Then they came for ….


17. Anxiety producing medical “community”


16. Think they know where they can stick it

… I’ve actually done the Melb to Darwin and return by car.


11. Two Tier foot in mouth

… the gift that keeps on giving.
