I didn't realise it was a worldwide pandemic...

(to be cont, even down there at the other end of the earth, they fake their hermitude in  'wilderness'  log cabins, for the Tube.... funny that when she keeps mentioning "community" just up  the road gathering at the suburban campfire for ridiculous bottled beers and hugs when a minor 'natural' occurrence is faked as a disaster) 








Now the one thing that someone who can spell the only word that matters, propriety, attempts to be claro on is the data. 

Merely to simplify it into something bitesized for an occasional younger encounter - but in UK one must not even notice them unless a 'responsible' adult is around as witness' - this is not the case with European kids or younger adults - i try to tell them! their irresponsible adults) ;

before two grand yurts were a thing, requiring rather a lot more selling xenobiotics to be able to afford one, which is what a lot of so called 'commerce' is,  why your parents have been up all night on the computer and thus dont take you on nature walks... 

why you may ask... 

well even the vanmen in the whole of the SW who perform yurten dreadlocks and peacepipe smiles, don't even know any more that if you are gentle with your right foot,  especially on steep hilly road sections, then one uses a good third less juice...   nobody needed the internet to A tell you that, and B blame for it all - all your parents inability to ever school you in anything that matters...

especially how you should leave the nettles if possible, for best banging even if that is generally in the bracken where your bum may get less itchy ......"
