So many wild fires across the globe. Climate change is showing itself so plainly now. Hopefully people and governments will take notice.

I take twelve or thirteen different medications and usually I sort them out first thing in the morning. I do it all on auto pilot but sometimes I will stop halfway through and then I don’t know where I am or what I am doing. A bit tricky!!

The Olympics has finished. Hurray!!

They are starting to talk about the end of the Olympics. But they were talking about football. To those of us who don’t really like sport it is all a bit tedious. I wasn’t brought up to be competitive. We were taught to do our best not to do better than someone else.

Things in Afghanistan looking really bad. Now that we have left it is looking like it was a complete waste of time. All those deaths!

The builders are coming back today to put up some new fence panels. The old fence has truly had it.

I am expecting a phone appointment mental health assessment fairly soon. A bit nerve racking even though I am feeling quite okay at the moment.

They are going to repeat the Jesse Stone series on 5USA starting this Friday night. I have them all recorded. My friend is going to visit quite soon to start watching them with me. It is time that I watched them again.

Some things have been happening lately and I don’t know if they are just a coincidence or if things are getting bad again. I am to be reassessed later this week. Perhaps my antipsychotics need a tweak. I have spent a long time on my own.

I watched a number of programmes yesterday about the Nazis. It is completely scary when one thinks about how the Nazis indoctrinated millions of people. They had a complete propaganda department working out what they should tell the people and what not to tell them. When you see the crowds of them completely under the Nazis spell it is quite frightening and it isn’t impossible for this sort of thing to happen again.
