THE WAIT ON FAIRER WEATHER

Well the milder and drier weather did not last that long!
Dog gone it!! LOL!
It is Sunday and I have had another stab at doing some cleaning and clearing in the hope that one morning soon I can look at it and see that it would not take me long to finish it?! That is how I end up tackling my household chores. Also and as annoying as it has always been I now realise I am likely not alone in this?!
Ever since I stumbled upon Fibromyalgia every now and then I read something else that is so typically me, it has all felt rather uncanny in all honesty. In a nice and relieveing way too!
Only I now think how different things would have been had I known this ten years ago?! Things would be most certainly very different I assure you and being attacked and defrauded by bailiffs would most certainly not have happened?!
So as a result I have periods of the year I absolutely hate and those I absolutely love. Mind you in all honesty the one that I hate can have a positive effect on me. But it did not this year.
I have stated it from day one and that is I hate the winter and it feels as if I am imprisoned quite literally. This year has been the worst in a long time and despite people saying, well at least it did not snow, I always say that is typical of people that drive and take things for granted. I then explain that when it snows those of us confined to being on foot or bike do not get wet. Getting wet in the winter months is dreadful. There is also that tiny window in the temperature where you can get wet and the wind can be quite devastating. I am sure the poor members of the American public have been finding that one out! In more ways then one too?!
This there has been no snow this year in the UK in the south at all, despite being told umpteenth times there was a humongous amount coming. No we just had lots of bloody rain, wind and gloomy weather! Give me snow any day of the week! Even with wind too you can give me snow, though below about minus 8 centigrade it might not be too fun. As to the tempratures they have experienced in the US then oh no my word that would be a living nightmare.
What I love about the snow is how everything looks beautiful and as selfish as I sound there is far less traffic and noise! Something I have come to hate about London for a very long time and hence how I have spent years trying to escape it, still yet to actually make it out! Sod Escape from New York, try Escaping London?!
What is hilarious about this is that local government would love to hand things to you on a plate to get rid of you but this involves moving 200 miles away. You get your pick of anywhere except that it is all over 200 miles away?! Well ALMOST anywhere, lol.
Also the period is more troublesome for me and more painful as a result of all this. SO I await the fairer weather each Spring while at the same time paanicking about being fit enough to start escaping to my favourite haunts?! So trying to capitaluse I await breaks in the wather while it is still cold!
This is where I am at right now and I cannot remember s single time when glancing at the weather reports on my phone has been so bloody miserable! Lol! I also cannot remember a time when the Met Office in the UK has been so horribly wrong anywhere near as often as they have been the last year?!
If other Fibromyalgia sufferes have done the same thing as me and taken up cycling, if you can do that without pain then I really do envy you, they must all be doing the same thing?! Mind you their destination might be very different to mine and added to that to feel as I do they must also have been neglected and cast off by their local government and society as I have done.
I stated to a friend f mine just yesterday something that I found which I had forgotten to mention to him and I have done this a few times the last week. I stated that I had read that Fobromyalgia sufferers have difficulty being bored. Now oddly enough this makes me remember that when I mention ony of the symptoms the response can be 'Oh well but I get like that too!' to which I then realise they are simply not thinking. It is still that 'It is not a real condition!' kind of statement and it truly is a let down. I mean I could shoot anyone down in flames like that and make them look and feel really stupid.
Well of course everyone else feels like that but for Fibromyalgia sufferers it affects us more so than the average person and they should tey and think about that. I said to my friend that it states that we need to have things in the home to occupy ourselves and not only have I stated this for years it is what drives me every single day. I have stated within the pages of this blog that I even worry that if I acquire that which I want will the feelings end?!
Because it is NOT like that of others.
This is where the depression and the ansity side of it come into play and the boredom can lead to these and the whole thing can spiral out of control! Unless you have spent years in some of the worst places imagineable and survived to tell the tale?! Survived to show and help others and they need not be Fibromyalgia sufferers to be able to gain help from me. Like people like to remind me of the obvious when your trying to explain something is that we all suffer from these emotions and pains. But with Fibromyalgia it seems like its everything at once up to 18 hous a day and sometimes 24 hours a day too.
The simple fact is that if they listened instead of wanting to be the one speaking when its actually our story to tell they would realise that Fibromyalgia is down to two things...
  1. The lack of proper sleep which can ONLY be put right with one drug in existence (I recently had someone else diagree and claim that other drugs can put me to sleep, umm NO but I do wish you were right, lol)
  2. The scrambling up of the signals to the brain.
I can now list two things that can directly link to the above two and that it is these that non-sympathisers out there need to realise before openeing the floodgates...
  1. You wake up every morning as if you have just run a marathon and everything is stiff, and I mean REALLY STIFF where your hobbling about!! Still feel tired too!
  2. The scrambling of signals affects everything!! Think of it as like someone who is paralysed from the neck down. Now imagine the polar opposite of that where all the same partts can feel too much which can vary from ild discomfort to severe pain?!
Now with THAT in mind then you go and read the list of up 200 symptoms that Fibromyalgia sufferes have to deal with! In my case it numbers around the 120 mark and I do not know if this will be considered to be a sever case or not. However as about 20 or so of the symptoms and specifically for the female of the species I would say my count os fairly high, lmao!
Switching to the use of the bike each year does two things for me. I have to deal with different pains to that I get on foot but it is easier than on foot nevertheless. It also allows those pains I get on foot to get a break meaning that when I am it is less problematic.
Not gone, I wish, just less problematic! If they were gone I would be cycling about in the winter too, SOD THE SNOW AND ICE!! LMAO!
The pther thing is that I do suffer from SAD, seasonal affective disorder and I would imagine many Fobromyalgia sufferers do. But in the warmer weather and sunlight I am off into the wilderness during the day for hours on end and I do feel great comfort most of the time and with many reasons for it to!
I feel as if I have escaped and in all honesty ever since the bailiffs attacked me and defrauded me I do not like being in the house. Something ELSE I hate about the winter!!
However I have gotten fed up with telling friends 'oh this weather cannot last much longer? Surely in another week we will be out the other side of it?' and annoyingly I heard a few days ago that the cold was returning to the US?! I thought that this was bad as it was highly likely that if it did one of two things would happen...
  1. The never ending downpurs would return or...
  2. We would be frozen and buried in snow too?!
It is these things in meteorology that are difficult tp predict as the weather and wind that hit us was turbulence of warm and cols fronts. It may not have felt like it but the wind we was hit with was a damn site warmer than that in America! Now all that air shot north so would have cooled down a fair amount and I do not know how much warmer air is left and even if there is enough to blast us again or what the rations of warm and cold aire needs to be?!
I do not recall hearing anything in the last 24 hours regarding freezing temperatures in America so hope that this was a false alarm. However I have been told a coupld of times the last few days that they are predicting snow for the UK. So I assume that because people I know outside of the Internet told me this I can only assume that this was for London?
I have to admit that the mentioning of another way below zero blast of air in America or even here in the UK seems a bit weird as it is now officially Spring! I do know that it can snow right into late February but it is now the 2nd March and these have been predictions coming to me!
The reason I am pondering these things as I type is that the thought of going months before being able to get on my bike is....frightening! The thought of never getting to use it all all during 2014 would be catastrophic for me!
So I keep waiting, looking and keeping an ear out for some good news on the weather front, sorry bad pun. I dare say that I am joined by millions now awaiting this news?!
When I left the house yesterday I thought I was overdoing ot by putting fingeless gloves on as just a few days before I could not even wear a thin jacket without boiling up?! I was wrong and it felt so cold which was unsusal for me and I would not have been surprised at all if it had snowed.
If anyone says it is too cold to snow I will blow off a shed load of steam, let me tell you! LOL!
With a crap Sring and Summer I do not know where or how I am going to keep myself occupied and this is worrying for me?! However, maybe and it is a slim outside chance that the DWP and their new PIPs Department may decide to stop fecking around with me and do what they should have done four years ago?! NoTEN years ago when I first asked them, which was two years after finding it increasingly harder to walk?!
LOL! A chance would be a fine thing!
On another note on pain someone I know has a donation group going with making the invisibilty of pain visible to all. It seems to be Australian based so not sure if it can raise awareness with other countries, but HEY someone has to pioneer an idea like this to begin with, right?!

MONEY FOR NOTHING

Money is 'no object' said David Cameron.

Wire as we was under the impression we were broke, so did this mean your going to BORROW Mr Cameron?!

Maybe you find some cash down the back of your sofa last night?!

Lol!

I must say though it is not looking good and I have spoken to friends about how the clock is touching for my home. My friend lives about a mile and up a hill. I, on the other hand, live right next to a river!! Literally twenty feet from my garden!

However on the far side of the river is a sloped bank that drops down towards some blocks of flats. Anyone on the ground floor there will be hit very bad if my river bursts it's banks.

More and more people seem to be saying they are fed up with the government and the media too?! One person said that in a roundabout way the only reason that the news media are now covering it is because MPs and the PM are here and you just want to see them screw up?! Lol!

Someone told me about that one and I burst out laughing at this. I will have to keep an eye out for that one!! I think he said it was on the Sky News app?

Three home counties now experiencing flooding with Bucks, Berkshire and Surrey. For the last 24 hours they have consistently stated that it will continue to ruse for 24 hours. Which will therefore be 48 hours in 24 hours time. Plus it rained today and I know they are stating another bad storm is heading our way did Friday AND Saturday!

STRUTH!!

THE FLOOD THAT SMELLS OF COFFEE

Yes that Minister is a plank and yes you should moan about him.
But I see the old mistake being made by the people that for us into this trouble in the first place by thinking one simple thing wool solve the problem when it won't.
So due to floods they were asking for the environment secretary to quit...
YEAH LIKE THAT WILL SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS IN FUTURE?!
I do wish the public will wake up from sleep walking into these things! I have been sick to death of hearing and reading about this.
NOTHING CHANGES!
So do you not think it is time to change the record for a new one that does a better job?!
Maybe they thunk that if they call for someone's head nobody will notice they are bout protesting with everyone else because they are too lazy it are actually amoral?!
The fact is at the end of the day trend of billions of pounds for donkeys years have been wasted on crap.
Charity begins at home!
So it is about time that some started to show it and mean it!

CRITICISM OVER MASSAGING FIGURES

And NOT A NAKED BOD IN SIGHT!!

Now they have been caught trying to cover up the fact that thousands of lives and families have been left to rot in the floods by coming up with the atypical bean counter businesses claptrap!

It is good to see someone pulling the beans to account, just as long as it is not to hide a greater offends to the public!

THE FLOOD GATES ARE OPENING

Well it seems time after time the signs are that this year is going to be an extremely bad one... of if you happen to be a politician that is!!

It is now becoming clear albeit 5 weeks too late and 34 days far too late, of the absolute horrors that the flooding has caused on an ever growing number of people.

Today I heard that a great many people who have been affected so catastrophically by the persistent rising flood water have taken to writing letters to the Prime Minister?! These are too be handed to the visiting minister in the next day or so! One women actually gets sarcastic, good for you, and demands to know if a recent visit to Birmingham by the Prime Minister was that important that he left many people suffering with the disastrous weather. There were remarks to add to their levels of intelligence by some!

It is beginning to look that this blind attitude to the problems at home while our leaders of previous times love to dance on a world stage has now been caught off guard? The relentless wind and driving rain combined with high tides on occasion has absolutely battered large sections of both England, Wales and Scotland. Unfortunately effecting large sections of British Society while even those unaffected have now been shown just how bad it has been.

Now it appears that what I have painstakingly tried to show so many people for so very long has now been forced into the foreground and spotlight by the media!! Odd that I have attempted to show the media by way of data, DVDs and emails that this would be the likely consequence in a nationwide catastrophe due to current attitudes and self-obsession by the House of Commons, politicians, public services and government.

Unfortunately the News Media seen to be affected by the exact same things as that which had affected our government and public office as well as services! Makes you wonder if human society needs a war every now and then on your own doorstep to make people realise the horrors possible by focusing their concentration?!

Madness, I know!

I was starting this to friends largely who themselves have come to find that this, front line staff and of the higher levels of local government just do not give a Rats arse. It has come as a real culture shock to them and they are quite dumbfounded to find that all that I have stated for the last ten years has been accurate to the finest detail!

It is a crying shame that this is what it takes and that it needs so many to be affected and then let in limbo or to rot before enough people wake up and see.

I thought I also heard in a news report that this dreaded weather was to continue for the next couple of weeks and right now most of southern England from Lands End to Kent had a huge yellow warning with an almost as big AMBER warning for bad weather for the next 48 hours?!

I wonder to if those poor victims of natures wrath have stopped and thought about all the many hundreds of millions of pounds and even billions of pounds they hear about each day on the TV News has made them wonder... WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO ALL THIS MONEY?!

Meanwhile many meetings of the emergency cabinet I shall now call SLOW-WORM have been held, likely all getting pissed, to make us think they are doing something. When for the last 5 weeks at least duck all had happened. But everyone had red skin all across the top of their backs with all the heavy petting!! I mean patting, lol.

It is a shame, shameful and for my I for one find it embarrassing because the while works is watching now at just how hypocritical our leaders and government are. In fact it really is completely wrong to refer to any of them as leaders at all. They could not organise the proverbial piss up!

Now where is Danny La Rue?! He has a lot to answer for as many people in the UK seem to be lacking him?!

LMFAO!!

THE BIBLICAL LIKE FLOODS

I witnessed something rather odd.

There was a report on flooding in Somerset on Sky News and a number of statements trotters were making were bizarre.

Not seeing anything like this on the need for weeks and noticing this I thought it about time that the news groups did something about highlighting it. But their choice of words were self destructive for anyone with working grey matter. They stated about how the water was above cesspits and that they could not use water fur washing up or even the toilet. A nasty sludge covered their homes inside and out. But in their desperation to make it now look and sound as bad as possible they kind of dropped themselves in it.

The reporter stated..."It has been like this for over a month"?!

I immediately thought, so it has been this bad for that long and only now you are covering it?! Rather embarrassing I think and could not believe they said that, hideout there will be more statements without any forethought?!

But it did not end there. They spoke to members of the family but the husband was curiosity absent. The mother did not look happy at all and you might be thinking that this would be painfully obvious but no.

She looked and sounded as if she was thinking what I had previously thought...'we have lived like this for a fecking whole MONTH and the first person to arrive fecking late is a bloody reporter to revel in our misery?! Or maybe it is just me? Lol! She seemed pretty pissed off about everything and I for one do not blame her. There was probably someone who realised that I have been attempting to get across on here for 18 months?

The news groups are very good at two things, telling you his good the other half live and how only mostly dimwits seem to have money and fame. Or they are showing you the worst atrocities to scare the living daylights out of you to cause blind panic. Then of course there are the things that they VERY CURIOUSLY do not report upon.

In my case what I was shocked mostly about was no correspondence whatsoever. Not even a thanks and an acknowledgement of the horrors that continued for two decades?!

Now someone that I know, or at least knew, was very good at getting the wetting end if the stick with me. Every so often I would get accused of things without being given a reason. Sometimes with some people you can have so many dreadful things happen that you can suspect everyone and everything. Must be a horrible life to live like that. But they said something to me that was very of and very apt, despite how crazy iu can sound. It was something I often used to think based on mathematical probability.

"Don't you feel your living some kind of giant test?!"

This was out to me and I answered "Well, Yeah!" I had thought this for years and it was very weird to have someone ask me this.

Now it is very, very simple to explain this and with two different branches. After awhile when you have acquired enough health problems going undiagnosed and when you have been through enough horrors you star to ask yourself the most obvious question any save person would ask...

..."Why does this keep happening to me?!"

I was not asking this of myself about one lot of things but instead TWO LOTS of things.

Anyone that knows about the laws of probability of even just Yin and Yang knows that over time everything equals out? But thus far I am the living exception to this rule as everything has always give wrong no matter how much effort I put in to avoid it.

This blog and my other blogs is another attempt at balancing out the Yin and Yang. Except this time I decided that I would go at it for three years and see where we are at?!

As for the News Groups I would be getting worried right about now but also realising it is probably far too late. It is possible that it took a nationwide flooding to create the wrist upheavals to make people focus on things they had previously ignored?

If I was a politician or anyone else in the public services I would be extremely worried right now! But it would be far too late. I think they now realise this because they have thrown there kitchen sink at it, it the British Army, lol.

So flooding that might asker the course of history? Hmm sounds almost BIBLICAL to me?!

LMAO!
