Another week and only one person came through the house for a look, an investor, but as it turns out he did not proceed.
I got a “Rebus” book last week and so I have been getting back into the swing of reading a few chapters once I return from the morning shift, it’s good to settle back into this routine.
I have had a fairly lazy week and so yesterday I caught up with a friend to go for a walk in the Toohey Forest in the outskirts of Brisbane. We had every intention of walking for about 10 kms but due to my wonderful map reading skills we went around in circles and completed only 5 kms after nearly two hours of walking. I should have realised there was something wrong when we kept seeing the same people passing us, however we did come across a very rare sight indeed…….2 Koalas up in the branches. One of which was hanging on for dear life at the very end of a narrow looking limb, while the bigger one was sitting astride a comfortable Y branch. I took a photo but it was really too far away to capture the wee beast. I haven’t seen a Koala in the wild for years and it is hard to believe that it has become an endangered species which Australia does not seem to care about. Developers have recently cleared an area of bush land which has been home to Koalas as well as other umpteen different species.
Greed and stupidity are pushing the wildlife of the planet to the brink and no governments seem to be interested in stopping this advance of the machines. No matter how many campaigns and protests set up by the members of the community, it matters not a jot, because developers are in cahoots with government to demolish and scar and rip the landscape towards a concrete future, which in turn increases temperature and when the rains come the floods have more things to destroy because the once natural floodway has now a shiny new block of units.
This year around the world something has definitely changed. The severity of flooding, the huge fires that are on the increase and the war in Ukraine has also exacerbated climate change due to many countries having to resort to burning coal once more because they can no longer buy oil from Russia. The future for Europe and the UK is looking very bleak this year, the high temperatures they have endured this summer will become a distant memory when many will be unable to heat their homes in the depths of winter. It’s not only the cost that will be crippling to many but there will also be fuel shortages.

Back in the 70’s we had power cuts mid winter because of the miners going on strike and I fear that many of my friends and family in the UK will have a similar experience this year too. The environmentalist have their hearts in the right place but the reality of the current situation is that we need to build more nuclear power stations to take up the base load power that coal and fossil fuels are currently being used for.
Australian governments are dead against using nuclear power stations to produce power because of the environmental issues but yet they are more than happy to spend billions of tax payers’ dollars on nuclear submarines which will be obsolete by the time America delivers them. This is all because of the gullibility of previous Tory governments sucking the balls of the American presidents. This big brother syndrome is going to be the death of Australia. The amount of money being spent on this useless investment should be used to deliver a better healthcare system, housing for the needy and developing the necessary infrastructure that the country desperately needs. The American war machine is affecting more and more people around the world.
Their Fear, Their Paranoia, Their Stupidity, Their Arrogance is the 21st Century plague that we should all fear…………..
