Trip to London

 Last night, I got £167 back from my Savings Account which my Aunt Lynne had been keeping for me.  Despite promises to the contrary, of course I have already spent most of it! ON:

- £20 on the National Lottery in the hope of winning a £20M Jackpot (10 tickets)!

- £20 on the Football.  I got the Boro game wrong, but won £13 back on a Man Utd game.  Result!

- £19 donation to the United Church of God - matching an earlier donation I had made to the Restored Church of God.  After all, BOTH Churches are preaching the gospel.

- £5 donation to the Labour Party

- £95 on a return trip to London on Monday.  My thoughts were to visit David (Pascall) for work, my former boss at Terra Firma, as well as give my ex Robert (Clouston) a call on the way down to see if he was free.  Quite what I was thinking I don't really know though - I'm coming down with COVID as it is, and, really, I'd need to win the Lottery before making the trip to London.  Hence the tickets above!

As things stand, I won 3 Lucky Dips on the Lottery.  Maybe I'll have better luck next time!

I won't be going to London tomorrow now.  I've got to stop this impulse spending!

This morning, I'm listening to Graham Norton (he's classic!) on Virgin Radio, and reading The Sunday Times.  Studying hard til noon!

Preamble

CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS - BY 2030 NOT 2050! To: My nieces and nephews, Lydia-Jo, Edie, Lizzie, Jake, Sam, Harry and Hollie THANKS & PREAMBLE I would like to thank Professor Douglas Crawford-Brown, Caroline Kaufmann, Dr. Kay Ullmann, Brian McDonnell, Manish Agarwal, Benjamin Warr, Gillian Cramm and Peter Goldmark for their contributions to this solutions-focused book. The material it contains has been the product of over a decade worth of thinking and studying the subject from every conceivable angle, and has taken me on a personal journey through business and academia, from conviviality to solitude and back again - during which I have also read and studied over 100 books on the subject.  I hope this book (now available on Amazon  here  )serves as a useful reference to for those interested in the most pressing issue of our age.  Please feel free to comment. Yours, STEFAN RIGBY LUDGATE MA(Cantab.) ACA MBA(INSEAD), aka HIKERLONDON

US Heatwave

The US Pacific North West and Western Canada are currently experiencing a highly unusual heatwave, due to high pressure which has settled over the region with record temperatures being set.  This is a repeat of the 1911 Heatwave which preceded The Great War by 3 years.  History repeating itself.  God always warns His People in advance.
