Wanderlust #dream 221

I’m on a holiday walk with the girls. It’s late afternoon. We should be heading back to the apartment complex for evening showers ready for a night out. We’ve decided to climb a huge steep stone trail which is in the direction of our complex. We think it’s a shortcut as it feels that it’s in the right direction, but there could be a fence or locked gate that stops us from entering our property. The path is lined either side by a walled fence with vegetation growing on top. As we reach the peak of the hill, we literally have to pull ourselves up. At the top of the trail, there’s a bungalow on our left and the trail carries on to the right. The gates of the bungalow and a man in an electric wheelchair comes out. He’s wearing a hat at an angle which exposes part of his brain. He explains that the quickest way back to the apartment complex is to go back the way we came as there’s no throughfare to our apartment complex. We’re baffled as to how someone has managed to build a bungalow at this altitude.

Festival in a box

It’s a novel idea. You can get fresh cask-conditioned beer delivered direct to your door. The licensee makes a bit of money and he’s able to keep his regular customers happy. You might not have the time to drink it all in one day, so you’d need to start with the weaker ones first as the stronger ones will last longer. There’s no printed bar guide, but you get that through an email. You also have to supply your own glass and you have to wash it up afterwards, but you do receive a selection of snacks. You also get a good variety of beer styles; not something you’d usually find at a festival as you get to choose them, but I’m sure that he would accommodate your request when you order. A couple of merchandising bits would be nice, but there’s also the risk that you’re giving away tat. At least the doorstep delivery is included in the price, and you can discuss the beers that you’re tasting online.

Your To-do list...Solved

It’s important to make everything disaster-proof. You need to plan for the worst and hope for the best. While it’s difficult to remember the protocol for every situation; it’s good to have everything written down and planned out in an emergency. And if you don’t have access to that information, it’s important that you can contract someone that does. The important thing is to remain as calm as you can and hopefully others will understand the situation and will assist you. Your responsibility is to keep everyone around you safe and call the emergency services if you need them. Then you can focus on what needs doing for the business. And if the helpline can’t advise you on what to do, you’ll need to seek support from elsewhere. Hopefully, these numbers haven’t changed or there’s an automated forwarding system, otherwise you’re going waste time trying to look up new numbers.

Masters of the Universe

This film borders too much on the nostalgia; and doesn’t give much opportunity to introduce the franchise to new viewers. There’s a nice nod to the actor who played him in the previous film, but the character is taken just too seriously. There’s not enough room for any love interest either. Instead, we’re treated to patriarchal relationships concluded by people with hearty laughs, though there was an attempt early on in the film. But after fifteen years from boyhood, you’d have thought that he would have forged a few more connections. It’s all a bit too cheesy with a slight mockery of the wonder, and there’s even a cheap plug for teamwork. And the two brief characters that require animation or CGI only make very brief appearances for nostalgia. The film becomes more unreal as we move away from earth, and it’s a shame that the final battle didn’t take place there.

Dragons have bad habits

It’s hard to change habits; especially those of a dragon. The only scenario that I can see a dragon sharing is with its offspring, and even then it won’t be for too long as there’ll be a battle for space in the lair. And because they’re immortal, they’re not too bothered about leaving themselves a legacy or creating descendants. But if they did share, we’d all be rich. But because they don’t, they could be responsible for a lot of problems. There’s a lot going on besides themselves but getting a dragon to care about something other than itself can be difficult, because of their selfish nature. They don’t want to be bothered by you. If you’re going to do something that’s going to directly affect it, they’ll fight to keep it that way, even if you are trying to do something to protect it should their immortality be threatened by something that they don’t understand.

Avoiding Medusa's Gaze #dream 220

I’ve come over to see a friend. I think I’ve been invited in but the rest of the family don’t seem to be very welcoming, though they’ve left the door unlocked because I’m expected. I’ve taken the initiative to make my own cup of tea, but this is solely because I’ve been there too many times before and have often ended up making drinks for the entire family while my friend has asked me to make her one. I headed upstairs with two mugs of tea and knocked on my friend’s door. I’m told to come inside, where her family surrounds her while she’s in bed. Her sister hands me a large brown envelope and tells me that it’s a draft copy of a court injunction. Apparently I’m not welcome here any more because I’m too intrusive. I just look at my friend for an explanation who refuses to meet my gaze.

Don't leave it Hanging

I’m using this app less and less recently. The discounts on offer tend to be less than with instant discounts elsewhere. With this, I have to wait for purchases to be verified and the amounts are so miniscule that it’s not worth bothering with any longer. Most of the big rewards require referrals or they involve spending at chain retailers that aren’t in my area. In the meantime, I get pop-up notifications and emails on a weekly basis. I should unsubscribe, but there may come a time when the app becomes useful again. I should really spread the word. But it was good in its heyday and I’ve actually saved over one hundred pounds in the last six years. I’ve got no idea why I saved this screenshot; it was probably because I pressed the wrong button. But if you don’t mind a bit of publicity and you’re interested, here’s my referral code for £5: TCNKHFQV
