June 2022

June started off with the true deformation verdict for the Johnny Depp deformation trial. I think Amber heard was fined 15 million dollars; half a million dollars is a lot of money to me. Even a quarter of a million dollars is a lot of money to me.

The Queen celebrated her platinum Jubilee, 70 years on the Throne. I was busy so I only saw the highlights in the news, I liked the Paddington Bear CGI effect. 

June 2022 was the first time I flew in a plane since the pandemic. When I go to the toilet in a plane, I become aware that it is just air holding me up 11 kilometres above the ground because there is less padding on the walls so you can hear the air rushing around the skin of the plane at very high speed. I like the way the doors on the toilet fold to open so the toilet is in the space of a cupboard, very clever. 

The Roe Vs Wade constitution was overturned in America by the supreme court. This means there isn't a single law that gives women the right to have an abortion, all 50 American states were permitted to make their own abortion laws. Some of the states will abolish abortions, others will try to keep abortions in the first trimester, they will all have different abortion laws.

 I hate abortions, the part of my brain that processes swear words turns on when I hear the word. I don't like ending the life of a fetus. I consider a fetus at the end of the first trimester to be an infant, more of an infant than an embryo. That is just the way I am, I don't mean to offend anyone. Sometimes abortions are good, if the woman is bleeding a lot then the abortion would save her life, or if she has a medical condition that causes her to have very high blood pressure during pregnancy or something like that then I guess an abortion is ok. 

It is now summer, bright happy days? Let's see.

July in Peru

Last month in July, I spent 3 weeks in Peru with my wife and extended family. Her family treated me very well and made me feel welcome. They fed me very well and made me feel relaxed.

I admired my new parents, they have a lot of integrity and good values in the world and work very hard and are very intelligent. I hope to return to Peru with a new member of the family soon and make them proud.

While I was there, I celebrated my birthday and two other family members birthdays. I also celebrated our wedding and a family members graduation. There was at least one celebration every week I was there.

My parents came to Peru a week after me and I felt happy because they came into my world. Peru is a part of my world because I have been there before and it is my wife's country. We all stayed in the north of the country where very few English people go to so me and my Parents have been to a place where very few English people have been. They came all the way there just because of me. Flying to Peru takes more than 12 hours from the UK because it is more than 5,000 km away on the Pacific rim in South America.

Peru is a beautiful country that is filled with mountains and arid fields, desserts and a rich history. There are also green valleys and tropical plants. There are countless sites and artifacts left behind from the Inca civilization. I spent most my time in chicklayo, a small city with a population of roughly one million people. There are no trains in chicklayo but there is a small airport and thousands of affordable taxis that move through every corner. The buses in the city are all private companies. The center of the city is fairly neat.

The main dish in Peru is ceviche or potatoes dishes mixed with salad. And they have many varieties of sweet corn.

Blog openly and fly away

Today I am so happy and grateful that I am still alive and well.

Today I have decided not to hide any of my blog material from my main feed on Facebook but to post to my main feed and blog page together.

If I annoy people then they can hide my posts from their newsfeed by clicking on the top right corner of the post and selecting hide or don't follow button. The "Alan's log" Facebook page will have the same content as my main feed but the posts will be public and contain hash tags. The main feed will be friends only privacy and just headings with no hash tags.

I had issues this week with the internet so I could not stay online long enough to buy my flight tickets to Peru in may, I will try again today.
