Words

I am into words this morning, because I have one almighty headache.  It must be the thunderstorm rollicking around overhead.  But it has brought cooler weather and perhaps the thought that climate change is not really an option.

This may sound offensive but either we are experiencing an early Halloween or someone is digging up the graveyard of early Labour leaders.  Welcome on stage Tony Blair with his ideas on how to kick start the country.  This comes from his famous organisation called The Tony Blair Institute for global change.  I suppose his emergence brings back memories of another catastrophic war in Iraqi but don't worry he will get rid of Zero commitments. Can it be because some of the countries that support him are oil companies?  His worth: roundabout $60 million.  Smiles to herself.

To roil:  Means to stir up or agitate.  Liquid for instance, the sea in a harbour.  14th century: Middle English "roil" = to roam/rove about.

Turmoil: State of extreme confusion and agitation or commotion.

Moil: to work or toil hard, to be in continuous agitation.  Middle English from Moilen.

But then the unimportant people to the likes of the Blairite contingency strive to balance the world of nature, by using drones to find the nests of curlews in the fields, which are already being harvested for hay and to warn the farmers who are very helpful as well in protecting the nests.  Small beginnings but welcome.

  1. Weather brings me headaches, too! I'm like a giant barometer and can usually tell when weather is changing because a headache arrives. Hope your headache is gone by now and you are feeling better, Thelma.

    1. It is a bit weird Ellen, pressure from above pushing us down, just shows how related we are to this Earth. Thelmax

  2. I always maintained that Blair was a Tory in disguise. I don't always agree with him - degrees for all or nearly all was ill-thought out - but he does use his brain and think.
    It's humid and horrible here - feels stormy but I don't suppose we'll have one.

  3. I suppose I dislike him because he needs a finger in every pie. Has no problem with making wars. He is the wrong spokesman for our future Janice. Our storms have passed and there seems to have been no moor fires. Thelmax
