The Corona Diaries – Day 246

I was in zoom meetings all morning so I took my walk later in the afternoon. It’s a different kind of experience to that in the summer. There aren’t the same number of animals or flowers but it still has a beauty. Nature always has a trick or two up her sleeve.

On my way back I climbed back up to the top of my hill to be met with the most brilliant display. The whole Western sky was lit up with a fluorescent orange glow. A whole half the sky. Awesome.

There were some flecks of rain and to the East there was a double rainbow.

I stood and soaked it in. Now that glow and all the colours of those rainbows are in me!

As I walked along the road I had this bright orange sky on my right and these rainbows on my left. It felt like I walking along a corridor through two of nature’s wonders! Fabulous. It really gave me a lift!

By the time I had reached the bottom of the hill the glow had receded to pinks, mauves and clouds etched with bright orange margins as if someone had traced the outlines with a fluorescent pen!

Back at home I’ve been playing Howlin’ Wolf (and got told to turn it down) and editing my poetry books.

Out in Coronaland not much has changed. Trump is beginning to concede. He’s allowing the transition team to start up. But the new cases are still eye-wateringly high – 178,945 new cases yesterday with another 1035 deaths. I think that if the people won’t vote for him he’s happy for them to die! He’s out on the golf course. Unbothered.

In the UK the numbers are beginning to go down – but were still 15,450 new cases yesterday with 206 deaths!

Compared to New Zealand, with 1 new case and 0 deaths, or Vietnam with 4 new cases and no deaths, it shows just how badly the USA and UK are doing. Elect clowns and you get ineptitude!!

Our lazy PM failed to attend the meeting of the four nations – couldn’t be bothered! He’s as lazy as Trump! So they have decided to relax the rules for Christmas!! Wow!!

All meet up and have a great time and then bury your grandparents a few weeks later!! Great idea!!

I reckon Johnson knows that nobody is taking any notice of him any more. The loonies were going to meet up anyway! So he made it official in order to get the plaudits!!

We’ll see how that works out!!

I wonder who is going to get the vaccine first? The most vulnerable?? The key workers?? Or the politicians??

I also wonder how many are not going to have it?? They’d rather get Covid I suppose – and will do! Good luck to them!

So, stay safe, avoid Thanksgiving and Christmas, and stay safe!! Not long now. Don’t do a Wilfred Owen!!

Today’s Music to keep me SsSAAAAnNnneee in Isolation – Howlin’ Wolf

I just love the Chicago Blues and Chester Burnett AKA Howlin’ Wolf was the king! I think he was amazing!

The Farne Islands and incredible Birdlife.

We were lucky enough to get across to the Farne Islands. As a group of islands they are pretty splendid but when you add in the wildlife it was spectacular! I’ve never seen such huge colonies of seabirds!

Mississippi – The Blues Trail

We headed off down Highway 61. We were tracing the old Blues Trail, hunting out the markers, graves and monuments to the incredible Blues singers of yesteryear.

Tracking them down took us off the beaten track to fields, obscure towns and old plantations that we would never otherwise have encountered.

The Clarkesdale Mississippi Blues Museum was a pleasant stop! The murals by the railway track at Tutwiler.

I want to go back!!

A few captions to cheer you up.

Politics and humour – what better way of exposing the truth!!

Poetry – TV Evangelists

Jimmy Swaggart

My name is Jimmy Swaggart

I like, hookers, coke and Christianity.

While Jerry Lee chose Rock ‘n’ Roll

I figured there’s more money in divinity.

Now I’ve got my plane, limousines

And mansion on the hill.

I’m a lying hypocrite

But my fans all love me still.

Jesus takes good care of me,

Gives me everything I wish.

Plenty lines of marching dust

And pussy on a dish.

I said that I was sorry

I’ve been forgiven everything.

I’ve still got my TV slot

Where you can pray an sing.

For Jesus welcomes sinners

Back into the fold.

So just remember folks,

Keep sending in the gold!

It always amuses me that these hypocritical, smarmy TV evangelists can get away with it. They have they planes, fleets of limousines, bimbos, mansions, yachts and penthouses, their beaming smiles, flash suits and lavish lifestyle, they play around with drugs, hookers and gambling and then break down and plead for forgiveness when caught out – and the poor saps keep sending the money in!! Unbelieveable!!

Poetry – Boris Passed This Way

Boris Passed This Way

Boris disguised as Santa Claus

Passed this way not long ago.

Without his pet dog Cummings

The cheerleading dynamo.

He looked so incredibly dishevelled

As he messed up another task,

While playing clever party tricks

Like speaking out his arse.

Opher – 23.11.2020

Such a genial buffoon. Such fun down the pub.

It disguised a clown of a man who comes from over-privileged background and, even with the perks of office (free cars, accommodation, meals and heaven knows what) cannot live on £150,000 a year.

A man so inept and lazy that, in order to gain power, gave the Tory Party to a bunch of extreme Brexiteers and allowed Cummings to pull all the strings and cause chaos.

A man who every time he opens his mouth creates a crisis.

For some reason the British public thought it would be a great idea to let him run the country.

Now look at us!!

Now he says we can all meet up in December and January. We can come together in December to celebrate Christmas! We can all then reassemble in January to bury the dead!
