I have learnt an awful lot this week. Firstly oil is a gift from God. Secondly I now know why choirboys hit high notes in the vestry and last that what the Romans liked to witness in the Colosseum has simply been moved to the 24 hour news programmes.
The sky today is cloudy again after a few hours yesterday of weak sunshine and the flag on the neighbours pole is once more hanging limp. I do not dispute that climate change is happening but because the heating system of my home is currently busted living without life is considerably harder than it should be.
The cost of running a small electric fire is staggering. Fortunately I have a b rated epc. I do not blame Starmer and his merry men and women for the current problems. A walk around my town despressing. The housing stock is neglected and run down. The shops are all struggling. A few weeks ago the last bank did a runner and the queue now at the post office is ridiculous. I sold out of Enquest at a considerable loss. If I has sold today it would have been much bigger. I keep looking for a sign that reality is returning as oil and gas is needed for many more years but to date I have seen no reason to get optimistic. Sadly I have no shares in DRAX. My infrastructure funds , my renewables, my wind farms are all plummeting and I am just waiting for the FCA to work out the cost of the car finance scheme.
In the meantime I am just hoping that I do not need a doctor or a hospital and that the heating engineer (Who does not inspire much confidence} returns on Monday with the parts and is proved right with his assessment of the problem. In desperation I may be forced to move to Shetland but there seems to be too many murders!!
