Simple Observations on Life

Just an ordinary guy observing the simple things in life that make the difference, make us human, and make us happy.

Sometimes I wonder. People are supposed to be struggling financially but I'm looking out the window at my office in a small tourist town and I see packed cafes, new cars, most very well dressed, and lots of crowds...on a Monday. Wasn't like this 3 years ago when we all had money.

Another early start in the dark. Life isn't the fun it used to be. Stress is everywhere. But looking at the night sky somehow the stars are sparkling brighter this morning, shining as if there is some hope and good news on the way. Maybe the Universe knows something we don't.

It feels like the world is collapsing around us. So I'm going to close the curtains, have a glass of whisky, and watch Robin Williams in Mork and Mindy and await armegeddon all cosy inside.

My dad once said to me,

'Don't go where everyone else is going because it's popular.

Go where you want to go because it matters to you and no-one else'.

I woke up this Sunday with a yearning to be by the sea sitting on a bench and watching the waves. Dunno why today, just feeling like I wanted to get away from it all to somewhere I can be alone and untroubled.

Spent the afternoon watching a Christmas film and now I want to buy an old coffee shop in a wintry little community that loves Xmas and find my true love while selling my home baked muffins. Seems legit to me.

I love going out for coffee. Always to independent shops to support local business. Each one has a different vibe, a personal energy, and the coffee tastes like no-one else's. Plenty of places to choose from so every coffee trip is an adventure in somewhere new.

@honordetigre Amen 🙏

It's great being a tiny account. You don't need to post all the time to get followers. You haven't the stress of creating new posts multiple times a day. And you can happily say what you want because no-one is looking. Being small is cool.

The world is actually where you can get away from people now. Every time you go on social media THE SAME PEOPLE ARE THERE ALL THE TIME 24 hours a day. They never go away. So I go out into the world to be free of these cyber stalkers. Leave me alone!!

@istgnolimit Once a month for sure. Shut the Fuck Up Fridays.

Life is beyond expensive to live now. Every day it gets more. The people are on the brink. National economies are on the verge. Costs to live outstrip existence. We are taxed beyond meauure. We have no money, or energy, or hope left. Collapse seems inevitable within a decade.

@CallumLyon Observation 101. Where the hell is Robin Hood now, we are being thieved by Government?

@Savvy_Feline Small accounts = real accounts = life as it really is. Long live us small posters!!

My neighbour is toasting marshmallows outside on a roaring chiminea and playing spooky music on his guitar. Other neighbour's kids are surrounding him as he's now telling ghost stories. What an idea, what a legend!!

@TomPapley Old school mentality killing the modern young overstimulated ones.

Halloween trick or treat time. I don't mind buying sweets for the kids that come round because their little faces light up with such beautiful smiles when you let them choose which ones they want. We need more innocence in this world and they are reminders of that. 👻 🎃 🧹

Sausages sizzling in the pan. Pork with Bramley apples. Mini baguettes in the oven. Honey BBQ sauce ready. Autumn feast coming up. Good ghost busting food. Every season has it's own foods to banish the blues. Now, if only I had some pumpkin ice cream.

Oh yes, 70's and 80's, who else remembers Mum saying these?

@jxtsummer As you get older you learn this truth.
