Today is a good day.

I looked out of the window whilst drinking a cup of coffee to wake me up this morning and it was sunny, the temperature was again above freezing, the birds were flying around and in the field below me rabbits were mingling and lolloping around. The new forest a field over that Cheshire Wild Life have planted, around 50 acres of pure UK native broad leaf trees was casting beautiful shadows of the now bare limbs of the small sapling trees that will be enjoying sunny mornings long after I’m forgotten.

I’m please to see the wonders of the world unfold this morning, nothing much has changed since 2023, and it was just a great to know that despite the world achieving an average temperature rise of 1.6C above pre-industrial world climate temperatures in 2024, that’s above the 1.5C where Armageddon, life as we know it changes promised by so many climate experts didn’t occur in 2024. Turning to my iPad, to read the latest news streams, I notice that the predictions have changed, we now need evidently decades of above 1.5C temperatures to have any meaningful effect.

Tomorrow we can wait with a bated breath for the largest economy in the world to restart ‘drill baby drill’, as a new dawn of right wing politics takes its grip of the USA.

Always good to have xmas behind you and some inkling that spring is around the corner and that doing things in the workshop will be warmer. I am sure for many as we get older we need the sunshine for motivation and to get the old body more charged up. As for whats going on in the states tomorrow it might be interesting but it will not impact my day and should not stop everyone from just getting on with whatever and not getting concerned, for many in later years there is not enough time to waste on something that you have no input on and is better used for more constructive purposes.
