28th February 2022 - Rain Stops Play

Thought for the day :"Patient in hospital just moans about the nurses, the food, the ward, everything. The doctors say that they remain critical."

Day 6 of the war in Ukraine and they are still holding the Russians back - but not for much longer I fear.

Fuel costs in the UK are showing over £1.50 a litre - £1.56 for Diesel so filled up at our local for £1.50 for diesel before things get too silly.

Saw this posted on another page.

For anyone that’s confused about what’s happening in Russia and Ukraine, here it is in layman’s terms:

-Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car, paying for the coffee etc and giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in 1991.

-Since then, Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman with help from friends like France, America, Poland, and others. They give her support, loan her money, and are helping her find her way.

-Ukraine has been enjoying being single for 30 years and looking forward to continuing to grow and create new friendships.

-Now Russia, being the toxic ex that he is, wants her back, and doesn’t want her meeting new people or creating any new relationships as this impacts the level of power and control he can exert over her.

-A couple of weeks ago Russia started sitting out the front of Ukraine’s house & when her friends ask him what was he doing there, he said “Oh nothing, just getting a little bit of exercise in, that’s all.”

-After her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said “They’re lying, they just want you to be scared of me and that’s not what it is.”

-Yesterday Russia broke into Ukraine’s house, beat her up & “took advantage” of her while live-streaming and double dog dared any of her friends to do something about it. She’s still waiting for help.

I didn't write this but it is an interesting analogy.

Did not go outside today other than a trip to the local shop, but fiddled around with some wiring that needed tidying up - and sorting out the speakers in the living room. After changing the tack plug and rewiring four times it is all working but I have no understanding of the circuit that makes it work - it follows no logical system - but it works and has a lot of insulation tape around the joins so I will leave it at that. 

Also set up the OBS live streaming system and put a couple of experimental broadcasts out to see how they worked. Again - it is a work in progress as it is not looking as I want it  - but we will get there - a little perseverance  I think ..  Rome wasn't built in a day.

And so ..
Cheers !
