Philip (Phil) England

  I'm not feeling like Christmas right now. My Dad's woman friend, Tel, passed away, she was found by Police yesterday, after Dad hadn't heard from her in a few days. I'm feeling less than perfect. He's not told my sister yet, but she couldn't care less! She's said as much in an email basically washing her hands of it all and has more or less told me to take sides. Now I'm going to have to confront Dad about his house, there's no way I can set foot in there as the smell makes me want to throw up, didn't want to do that til new year. Oh what a Christmas this will be, damn it. I feel like I'm trapped between two dead end roads with no right of way. My downstairs neighbour said if my sister isn't talking to him she won't know I've been there. I can see where she is coming from though. I can't set foot in the house as it is anymore, it turned my stomach the other day, even a face mask don't help. I've decided to send my Da

At this time of year, normally people's attention turn to family, feasts and fun. Spare a thought for those living with conflict, those living in war zones, they won't be having a 'Merry Christmas' With Isreal continuing their ongoing bombing of Gaza, the Palistinians are getting killed, there is no chance for them to have a peaceful life, they didn't start the war, yet they are getting killed every day. Why are they getting killed? Israel is targetting their homes trying to eradicate Hamas terrorists. While the terrorists may be getting killed, thousands of innocent Palistinians arebeing killed. Moving to Eastern Europe and Ukraine, the war with Russia. This conflict has been going on for so long now, maybe it is time for Putin and Zelenskyy to sit at a table and sign a deal. Give Russia the bits of Ukraine it wants to link up with Crimea. All that is left is rubble anyway, if it will stop the war and stop the killing then why not do it? 2024 is on the horizon, and

Down to London then, staying in an apartment in Hounslow while down here, it's not the Ritz but it's not a dump either. Comfortable sofa, comfortable bed too, few strange point that make 'Sweet Home' quirky, just wish I could park my car closer, will look in to that later! Explored the town part of Hounslow, saw where Sunrise Radio is located, and some fabulous places to eat and buy food and other bits. The Christmas tree in the town lacks something, but it's an Asian / multi cultural area, with various faiths about, so let the local authority off on that one.  Had a good night's sleep, so off to another part of London, it's blue skies outside, but a bit on the chilly side. Here is a video of my short trip to London, also took some footage on a rather empty tube train heading to Baker Street on the Metropolitan line   https://youtu.be/FdpPLYAguqk?si=aRpuFd-vgjCnENC3 via    Question:  cheaper above or bellow ground? Answer: nothing in it really, just be care

THE FEAR OF CHRISTMAS Christmas comes but once a year...., thank goodness for that! Ever since my Mum passed away, and a number of friends including Huw from Cardiff, John from Bridgend, and a few others; the magic has vanished from what is supposed to be a joyous time of the year. For a number of years now I've had something to look forward too, dog and house sitting down in Wallington in Surrey. This year however its not happening. A trip to the big city seems to have become a big part of making Christmas something. So what am I embarking on?, a trip to London for a few days, taking one of my friends with me so we can explore. A Christmas at home means I will need to attempt some kind of festive meal.  My roast potatoes leave a lot to be desired I have to say. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to perfect my roast potatoes, I think I am close. Here's the method! Part boil with onion in a pan.  Heat up the roasting tin with oil and some garlic. Drain the potatoes and b
