I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

February Blues
On the first day of February there was a Military coup in Myanmar. The elected leader of Mayanmar Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested for suspected election fraud and illegal importation of walkie talkies by military personnel. The military then blocked all social media in the country.
The days following the coup and up till now there was protests with people giving 3 fingered salutes and shouting at the authorities. It was during the protests that my niece Chloe spent her 9th birthday waiting for her new Brother Nathaniel to be born. Nathan was born 1 day after Chloe's birthday so their age gap is 9 years and 1 day. They were isolated from the rest of the family because we are in a winter lockdown to fight the Pandemic. Nathan was born during a the COVID19 pandemic and Military coup of Mayanmar, the country that is sandwiched between China and India. I will remember Chloe's 9th and Nathan's birth that way.
