In the mood

 Connecting on WhatsApp

Only Fans

For the past three days I was chatting to two young ladies on Twitter; I was never in doubt of their intentions, they wanted me to sign up for their Only Fans pages.

I have also been chatting, occasionaly, to a young lady in Hong Kong, who is asking to join my WhatsApp page, this may happen; though I usually only have my children on this page.

Barbara Stanwyck

 Anna May Wong

I am not like my father

My father's spirit is probably going mad with me. I was watching some videos of Barbara Stanwyck, and  Anna May Wong a short while ago on YouTube.

My father had a thing against ladies called Barbara, Barbara Cartland, Barbara Castle, and even my wife's friend, Barbara Way, who was our maid of honour, who he only met at once, at the wedding.My mother said she only met his mother once, which makes me wonder if her name was Barbara, as he was illegitimate, and in the 1920's that was almost a crime.

I think Barbara is great actress from what I have seen, I admit it isn't a lot of her work, but some actors make a good impression on me, she is one of those

I need to sell 4 eBooks in a year

 Will I be paid by my 70th Birthday?

Alan Place - Award Winning Author

To get my next roalty fees from Draft2Digital, I need to sell 4 ebooks in a year, you may think for an award-winning writer such as me that would be a piece of cake, yet it has taken me three years to earn $6.30c.

The rerason for this is they use a library system were the reader payys a fee, and can take out as many books as theyy can read in a month. The writer gets their fees, if they sell a set number of products, but nobody knows the number of sales needed. Things were struggling before they joined with Smashwords, I had a bad feeling about SW from the time I read the founder makes more than Amazon, this was re-enforced when other writers told me they had not been paid for sales.

I doubt I will be paid by my 70th birthday, this time next year.

I think the UK could be in for a hard winter

 Too warm for October

Fall

As much as I am enjoying the warm spell, as a gardener, I am concerned the plants may come through thinking it is a "false spring."

This type of weather is uncommon in the UK for October. Last week, I said to one of our daughters "if it isn't raining, be grateful," at the time there was a terrible strong wind.

In the fall, I am grateful if it doesn't rain each day. The plants need the water, but too much is worse than too little, you can always add water, but it is hard to drain it off, this is the issue with the Somerset Levels, and the fens in Norfolk, UK.

North of Gloucester, and across the midlands, the problem is the opposite, from Cheltenham across to Coventry is an alluvial flood plain, an enormous expanse of dried mud which water cannot penetrate

The Fantastic Four

 The Curse of the Remake

I didn't believe it

I thought this remake had to be a joke.

When they brought out the Fanstatic Four before, even with Jessica Alba in, it bombed. At the time, she was in Sin City, two films I love. The second film was delayed as there was a disagreement over who should be in, some of the crew wanted Jessica, and other wished for Angelina Jolie. This discussion put the release back almost a year.

Vote Conservative

 Labour haven't changed

                                                        Remember the 70s

The older generation recalled the days of endless strikes, which is why we warned the new voters what Labour are like, but they were conned into thinking "New Labour" is different.

Look what Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves are doing to the economy of the UK.

The only difference is now Labour are run by the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the Unions. For the pleasure bestoyed upon us for thelast year, we can thank the voters who voted for Nigel Farage, and ReformUK. No doubt, when the next election comes, Labour will moan about the endless cuts made to services by the incoming government, they always do, while forgetting these cuts were forced on them by Labour policies of the past.

The WhatsApp trend

 Why would she want access?

Young ladies online

During last month, I was contacted on Twitter by several young ladies who wished to have my WhatsApp number. I didn't send the address as I only let friends I trust, and family have the private link. The odd thing is once they knew they would have to chat on Twitter to get to know me, they did not contact me again
