Whatever next -- the Age of Machine

It is 6.00 am.
I opened my curtains.
This morning I awoke to a boiling grey black sky.

The Sun had taken up arms against Cloud and was battling hard to break through the glowering darkness..

I had started up my laptop.
In the browser on my screen I was confronted by this:

I went to bed earlier last night. I have had my full eight hours and gained some much needed rest.

Somehow I seem to have entered a Zone of conflict. The ground and everything around outside my window is dry, not wet through, I have just noticed a streak of blue sky.

Yesterday last thing in the evening beautiful bird song ushered me to bed at 10 pm. It had been a good day. I had, I hope, sorted out several recurring problems on three laptops and a PC.

Since stroke these machines have been an important, no vital, part of my “new life.” Other machines, like a stand mixer in the kitchen, a modified car parked outside, a scooter, a mobile smart phone, were enabling a life, a different life but something that has meaning. I seize them thankfully.

Stroke had, has, opened up a new world. I pray that this will be a world of Peace. Let disruption leave us alone today.

It is Friday. It is Pizza day. It is Jitsi day. Here comes weekend. I rejoice.

There is time for explanation, conciliation.

Welcome, all, to my world.

keep on keepin on

World of Tanks doesn’t appear to be available on the Nintendo Switch platform which is okay by me because it is not my style of game these days, however, I would have loved playing a game in a tank as a kid. In my day it was games like Castle Wolfenstein and then later Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but I tended to play games like Dungeon Master in my yoof.

It’s all we are saying …

For me tonight, it is lamb chops from the butchers, egg, salad and chips.

When I have a hamburger, I often have hambúrguer à prato, which is a common way many Portuguese enjoy a burger. It’s the burger, egg, rice and a salad (optional fries).

@Rups , I haven’t played Dungeon Master in yonks’. I also love the Wolfenstein games. The last one I played was Wolfenstein: Youngblood. I’ve always said if you love the Wolfenstein series, play the Doom series.

@Rups , Mmm, yummy. I think I’ll get a couple of lamb chops in as well. Not had any in ages. I usually marinate the meat before cooking it.

This was my meal. No marinade for the chops, just flash fried with lots of pepper.
