Saved a dehydrated bird. Took him in and fed him water from a syringe until he was able to fly again. Just released him and he seems good.

@stux The richest people in Germany managed to double their money during the pandemic, meanwhile many people have to turn over every cent twice to make end's meet.
A really nice thing in an economy where money equals power.

How do I get my mental focus back? What happened, anyway? Old age? Long consequences of some undiagnosed asymptomatic COVID? Relentless prolonged exhaustion? Social media?

Tories' hypocrisy knows no bounds.

‘Embarrassed to be British’ says Brits living in EU - https://www.euractiv.com/section/justice-home-affairs/news/embarrassed-to-be-british-says-brits-living-in-eu/ "surveys consistently suggest that a majority of UK adults believe that leaving the EU has been a failure." #brexitreality

So here's some controversy:-

Is Wales so insular that we can't fight for independence?
To poor for it,, I say we are to rich for England to let go so they propergate the lies that we fall for so easily.
