Staying positive

There is an official name that the Met Office gives the weather we have been having here for the last few days: Anti-Cyclonic Gloom. It is a special sort of gloom, designed to make us wonder if the standard post-Christmas, January gloom is ever going to end.

What with the fires, the floods, the plague of locusts, the imminent pestilence and Brexit, I am beginning to wonder if Nostradamus had a point.

  1. I was just thinking what a beautiful day it is.

  2. Blue skies and sunshine make such a difference to our moods - at the moment I am feeling really sorry for those Brits and other foreigners who are stuck in Wuhan Province.

    1. I wouldn't mind an enforced holiday right now, but preferably not in China.

  4. The gloom seems to have been going on forever here too. When it's too dark to see to paint I get really annoyed.
    I'm feeling sorry for everyone in Wuhan Province too - not nice for anyone out there.

    1. So long as it stays out there. This is what comes from eating anything that moves - and quite a lot which doesn't - all sharing a very small cage. It's a cultural thing I am told.

  5. All the good, sunny warm weather wafted towards The Yorkshire Dales last week and we had glorious sunshine all week - but there is still plenty to be gloomy about, sadly.

    1. If it were just knee-deep in snow I wouldn't mind.

  9. It's been quite pleasant here; perfect weather for the spread of Chinese viruses.

    1. The Corona virus will reach you from the people who rent those holiday bunkers.

  11. It's the same every year, although this year seems worse. Never mind, we have those lovely new 50p coins coming to cheer us up.

    1. The 2nd editions of the lovely new 50p coins. They had to melt the first lot down. More expense. As predicted the 'government' are just about to implement huge cut-backs on the BBC news department, including the World Service. This is the worst January I can remember. How do people stay optimistic about the future? It's beyond me.

  12. In this manner my friend Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    THESE are the same tactics tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this expression has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and $3 on his bank card.

    "I'm so fed up with living payroll to payroll! When will I finally succeed?"

    You took part in those types of questions, am I right?

    Your success story is going to be written. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
