Sometimes I think about things.

Not deeply but I do think.....
We now have a nice round number of dead young men in Afghanistan,can anybody tell me why we went there,if we are doing what we planned and whether we will get the hell out any-time this century.Have you also noticed how wonderful the Americans thought we were when our dimwitted government followed them there and into Iraq,yet we are now scary people who have universal healthcare....On the subject have you seen this ? "Death to Obama, Michelle and 2 stupid kids,"
So this last week we have been watching the Yanks scream commie at anyone who dares suggest anything as ethical as healthcare for all,whilst in the meantime the Peoples Republic of China(you know the real commie ones) now own (or did way back in May,probably more now) 801.5 billion dollars worth of US treasury bonds,really I kid you not.
Someone has stolen a whole pile of dead rare bird skins and the Grauniad thinks they will be used as lures,presumably for the upper class fish who just will not take a dull sparrow feather?
The Arctic Sea a 98-metre-long cargo ship has mysteriously vanished into thin air with a crew of fifteen Russians and a million quids worth of timber on board,all sorts of theories are doing the rounds,from illegal Russian weapons to hi-jack,drugs and illicit tobacco products.
I suspect it may be seasidegirlies aliens myself.
The cat disgraced himself again yesterday,I went arxe over elbow when he jumped under my feet in the garden ,I now have a swollen grazed knee.
The press are waffling a poor interpretation of what the HPA wrote to neurologists. The media are making a three ring circus of this,the new H1N1v vaccine is the made the same way a seasonal vaccine is made,it is not made in the same way as the 76 vaccine,which caused just about a thousand adverse reactions out of the 46 million vaccinated,if that flu had taken off, it is certainly a lower rate than damage caused by influenza would have been.. It is no wonder the antivaccers are gaining ground and kids are again getting unnecessary diseases that really can kill and disable.
I think my neighbours might have a glut of runner beans,each time I go out there is a bag of them on the doorstep,so I have blanched and frozen them,thanks to a raid by my chickens I have none of my own growing,I do seem to have a good crop of nettles though.......
