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.

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

Belfast attack latest: Starmer condemns 'sickening' stabbing as man arrested for attempted murder

It seems that everything needs a comment from a politician these days to make it newsworthy. The focus seems to be less on a solution and more on what shouldn’t have happened. Half of the time, they’re not even focussing on the facts. Even the police might not have the facts correctly and the act could have been in self-defence. A motive has not yet been established. Repeating things with timestamps gets you out of liability issues and it shows that you’re aware that you don’t have all the facts. But people have the right to know that these things happen, but the problem is why they happened. The focus seems to be on the attacker rather than the victim. And that’s what causes fear. We can only draw conclusions from what we know. And we put a body of people in place to find these facts out. Hopefully we can trust them.

Time Well Wasted

I’ve been taking the time o do what everyone else has been doing; chilling out; chatting via the web, and playing games. With all this time on our hands, I should have taken the time to invest in a bit of technology, or plot and plan for something. Instead, I’ve been testing the technology, but like everyone else I was cautious. Here, my ambition was to rest an old laptop back to factory settings so I could focus it solely on playing a strategy war game on CD. After reinstalling an older version of windows, it still wouldn’t work. My friend came up with an idea of an emulator on my modern machine which lets you run different versions of windows, but I wasn’t prepared to take the risk. You could probably find the same on an online emulator, but you’d probably have to keep your tab open indefinitely to save your progress.

What if you woke up one morning with green teeth?

It might be a while until you find out. You might be one of those people who don’t smile that often so it will take a while for someone to tell you. Even then, it might not make much of a difference. Could this be because of something you ate? Maybe you went and grazed in a field the night before or ate a piece of cake with green icing. You could have been drinking green shots or cocktails; or you’ve consumed some sort of dyed product. It’ll probably wash off the moment you brush your teeth; which may be the moment that you discover they’re green. You might not recall what you’ve done. Maybe someone inserted something into your mouth while you were sleeping. As long as it comes off, I wouldn’t worry too much. It would be interesting to see what people’s reactions would be and whether they’ll be as so bold as to inform you of the anomaly. Or you could have planned it all. It might not bother you. Or you might want to take action before you even get out of bed.
