Stuff buyers and railways rant.

So addicted shoppers who have to just buy "stuff" because its "stuff" what are you going to do when you realise China is virtually closed down and not making any more stuff for a while to be transported in big ships round the globe to feed your addiction?

As an anti "stuff" buying persona I can only gloat ( a lot)!!!!!! And hope the stuff addicted don't start coming to charity shops!

Meanwhile feeling extremely sorry for anyone who has had flu anywhere. I have been a fortnight getting over mine and I thank that orange coloured airline for making it ten times worse delaying my plane mid January by a total of over 3 hours cause 1) the pilot forgot to turn up for work and 2) on way back they could not find a screwdriver to mend the luggage door.  Never again. Sticking to trains. 

O, hang on trains are not doing that well either are they?  There is a fantastic input on one of the Whitewick's YouTube videos by a railway engineer about the HS2, who points out that by having an express route it eases the congestion on local lines allowing more capacity locally. His example was improving Aberstywth to Birmingham journey - having done that several times in the past I can see the logic of HS2!!!  Whitewicks usually trace old railways but that input was one of the best explanations I have ever seen and I will probably never see it on mainstream media will I?

I am spending far too long in front of the TV as we wait for February weather to improve. I must find something gardening related to watch.  Oh hang on, the BBC don't do current gardening programmes till after March??? 

Sorry for rant. Bored.

  1. It's that sort of month and the weather is atrocious, so ranting is a good way of killing the boredom!

  2. I haven’t been on a plane for years. I must say things I hear make me feel a little edgy about flying. Attention to detail is essential for lumps of metal flying about over our heads. I am missing gardening programmes on tv too.

  3. I think you just might have the February doldrums. Hope you can get in some gardening related things very soon.

    God bless.

  4. I think it will be some time until we run out of "stuff" made in China. By then the epidemic will be over and their factories will be churning out more "stuff" we don't need. Maybe you have SAD (seasonal effective disorder).
