Monday notes

Occasional showers here today and not warm, only 5C. Rain and snow are moving up through Scotland, but are not expected to reach latitude 58N where I am.

Just want to make it clear that I had nothing to do with the picture of the men in a tub with a powersocket floating on flipflop. This was forwarded to me, and it sent a chill down my spine. How can anyone be that stupid, indeed.

Two powerstruggles going on around the world. South Africa has cut off electricity supplies to its neighbours, with Zimbabwe and Mozambique worst affected. South Africa is suffering increasing powercuts, due to a failure to invest in its electricity grids and generating capacity. The Gaza Strip has been plunged in darkness after Israel stopped supplies of fuel. This brought the sole powerstation in the area to a halt, and could potentially jeopardise the generators used by hospitals to keep going. Don't think that will solve any problems the two sides have with each other, in fact, it will make it worse.

I despair of the way the world is going Guido. I just wish there were an easy solution to these difficult issues. I fear there will never be peace between israel and Palestine.

I have a sad feeling that the African continent is going into meltdown.
