An Autocrat's Convention.

The world is a frightening place at the moment. Some hoped the age of authoritarian rule had passed. I fear they are wrong. With so much of the world consumed by the fire of war and the wild fires of climate change where do we stand in 2025? It feels like the edge of a precipice. 

I rarely make political comment online but the strong men meet, bluster, carve up and play God. The end result we do not yet know. Let us hope that peace comes, the people are respected and respecting. That feels a long way off at the moment. 

So what of my little world? After the blazing heat of recent days today is cooler, more overcast and gloomy. I'm home cooking ragu. My fridge is stocked, my coffee drunk and I feel okay. Not much anxiety, mood neutral and my love of cooking is being exercised.

I remain off work but am optimistic that I will return in mid September. A positive meeting with occupational health yesterday. The plan is to do a site visit with my new manager in early September then targeting the 15th to go back on a phased return. 

A train trip to the coast is planned for Monday. Spend a few days with dad, see friends and walk along the beach.

See you all soon.

I Heard a Voice.
