Good Morning

#1021 · August 4, 2022, 5:24 am

Good morning everyone !

I'm watching Nancy Pelosi at a news conference in Seoul. I think that we are probably living in more danger of WW3 than anytime in my memory.

I hope that I'm over reacting to what's happening on the world stage but with Ukraine and Taiwan there is a likelihood that things could very quickly escalate.

Maybe that's the reason for my insomnia; concern that we're on the brink of nuclear annihilation.

Or is it climate change I should really be concerned about ?

Or being hit by a giant meteor ?🤔

Christ only knows. Also he might be able to explain how Nancy Pelosi is 82! I wonder is she related to Dorian Gray?😜

I think that should read Moorepark which is kinda near Fermoy unless there's another similarly-titled place down here that I don't know about, which is entirely possible. Either way it was pretty hot down here — hotter than we had it during the last heatwave.

Below are the max temps recorded at our stations today, temps will continue to rise over the next few days 🌡️📈 pic.twitter.com/JVw7H3qVCJ

It's hot here in Ulster too. I've been doing a bit of gardening today and I'm clane fcuked!😓

Not that I'm complaining, just wish I had the time to just sit back in the sunshine and relax.😎

The Oxalis plant goes ‘ballistic’ when touched

Its seeds are catapulted up to 4 metres away on what the plant ‘wants’ to be the animal that agitated it, for wide dispersal

Stored strain energy releases the seeds consecutively like dominoes
