Hello
I' not sure how this works so i'm just going to dive in at the deep end and see what happens.
I'm sure that my rantings will be very little interest to anyone but hey if this gives me something to do other than complaining i have nothing to do well it will be of interest to me.
so now i sit here at my keyboard and think to myself what am I going to write.
Maybe i could write about the beautiful county that i live in Dorset, with it amazing coastline, fabulous views and wide open spaces.
maybe i could write about the fact that slugs have eaten my small crop of dwarf green beans, lettuces and carrots but not my peas or beetroot. and that beer traps, egg shells and any other natural slug repellent hasn't worked this year. (I have dogs so can't and won't use chemicals)
maybe i could write about my attempts to carve wood into fab things that is the most frustrating thing as it takes so long and my hands are covered in blisters.
or just that i really want to find that golden way to make life that little bit easier. with ever rising fuel and food costs. working as hard as the next man or woman and feeling that there in no end to the daily grind for very little reward. When Oh when will we see a government that listens to the people of this country. Not those with the loudest voice who have money and fortune bestowed upon them because of who they now not because they work hard and are honest. but listen to the people who all
are the machine of this country (backbone as they say).
A Government that really cares that higher fuel, food, community charges,
and lower paid workers losing the 10p tax (i know they back tracked on that well they gave back 5p they still took 15p) is causing the poorer to become poorer, creating even spiraling credit debt. And a feel miserable society. i read in the paper from yesterday that the minster of transport has told us all to "bloody cheer up" that "we have never had it so good".
I tell you what he wants to come live my life for a year yes a year, not these so called experiments of one week in someone else's shoes.
A year through the bounty of the summer when there is work a plenty for my partner (self employed carpenter) because the weather is good, and building is high. then through the fast of the winter, when the work slows down, the days are shorter and the temp drops down so the heating goes on.
i wonder then if they think we have never had it so good.
well this is the end to my first blog.
thank for reading this if anyone does.

Welcome to blogging Pinkwitch.
I couldn't agree more. These bloody politicians, raking off us all the time, they ought to realise that they are indeed public servants and not 'gods' overlording us minions.
In addition to their salary increases they are debating whether to accept a £40,000 increase in wages to weigh against their loss of money against their second homes. After tax this would net them some £24,000. Poor souls. It would be very hard to live on that alone, let alone their salaries and the expenses that they have extorted from public funds.
These people should face fraud charges, as would anyone else who falsely accounted and stole money from funds.
Or perhaps we should all take a leaf from their books and claim benefits whilst working, and then we could happily stand in court and say that it was the government who led the way.
I say chuck them out-then let them do their stint at her majesties pleasure on these grounds of fraudulant accounting, every snivelling one of them. Keep the honest ones in. Which of course would lead to a very thinned out parliament. Which in turn would save the country a fortune.
Come the revolution........
