I want to be left alone

 I am not likely to forget my 70th birthday

In the words of Greta Garbo, "I want to be left alone," one lady online won't stop pestering me about sending her money. She "claims" to be willing to going send me money owed by her sister, but all she does is ask for money for "bank charges."

I sensed it was another scam from the first letter she sent. Why would someone be willing to send you money, before asking how mch you are owed?

I don't think so

Did she get the message? 

Cash Shortage

I am now housebound

The person who involved me in a scam last year, is so silly, she thinks I am going to send her more money on the off-change I will get back the money I sent her sister from November to July. I have told her several times, to forget it, I have moved on, and wish to forget that time.

To add injury to insult, her insistance on me sending money, ended with me falling in the street and going into hospital with a broken, I was so tired from trying to get my money I tripped, and tore my eye, and my knee

Religion in School

 King of Islam

The Older Generation

Relious Belief

Within reason, I don't object to Islam being taught in schools, I object to children being forced to hear Islam. I come from an era when if you were a Roman Catholic, you were taken out of Religious Education lessons, and given a seperate lesson.

I have upset some people with my beliefs, I believe in Spirituality, which explains why my ghost stories were popular online. I upset one lady in Bristol by questioning several of the "miracles" Jesus was supposed to have done.

If I had to class myself in a Religion, it would be as a Christian Scientist, not the cult of the late 70's, but a man who believes things written in the Bible did happen, but the reason is based in Science

Absent Friend

 Cash Shortage

70th birthday

                                                         The Oxfordshire Romance

After tonight, I shalll be unable to contact my friend Svitlana in Didcot, Oxfordshire for several evenings. The cash shortage I am in has been compounded by having to go to hospital, and pay parking fees, and travel expenses for my daughter to travel from Newport in Wales to Bristol, to take me to hospital.

Broken nose

Silver Trauma

She's in love with you

I won't forget my 70th birthday for many years. It really has been a terrible month for me, and it isn't over, yet.

On September 25th, I had an accident, the result was spending a night in a hospital, with a broken nose, a gash over my left eye, and a knee full of trapped blood.

Two days later, I had to return for a scan of a suspected broken thumb, and some stitches over the eye. Ten days later, I had to go to the doctor's surgery for the removal of the stitches, and it doesn't end there.

I have an CT scan appointment on the 14th, at a centre across Bristol, then, on the 20th, I have an ENT appointment at the hardest hospital in the city to get to 😒😒. In the middle of the appointments is my birthday, on the 18th. 

I still have no news on the appointment for my limpoma

Is there an anti-mushroom campaign?

 Good Food

Latino Street Bites

The outlook appears good

I wonder is there an antii-mushroom campaign ongoing?

The reason I ask is every picture of a meal on Twitter, has no mushroom on the plate.

I am NOT a vegetarian, far from it, but I do love mushrooms. I consdiered getting books from the library to learn more about which can be eaten. I got my late wife worried, when we moved from Horfield to Hartcliffe, in the field around the area there are patches of wild mushromms which I would eat, she was worried as I didn't know which could be safely eaten

I feel like I am on a winter cruise

 It is the lady's choice

What are my plans?

I am sitting in my chair with a blanket over my lap, thinking "this reminds me of seeing videos about cruises for senior citizens."

The blanket isn't only for warmth, after my accident last month, my left knee cannot stand the pressure of my laptop on the joint.

I hadn't considered the possibility of a cruise before now, since my wife passed away in January 2025, my mind has been on clearing the house.

Before now, the idea of going on a cruise didn't appeal to me, I was one for seeing as much as I could, not sitting aboard a ship, last month changed my outlook. I have to admit, I can't do as much walking as I used to, so sitting on a boat is a good replacement. The next issue is where to go?

Now I am in a relationship with Svitlana, it is a matter to discuss for later, the first thing we aim to do is meet in Didcot, where she lives
