What September 2021 Means to me

To me, September 2021 was about disruption and inflation. Everything else was normal, the days were getting shorter, the nights were getting colder, condensation was settling on glass and grass, the start of Autumn that I am so familiar with. 

Some environmental activists were glueing themselves to transport infrastructure as usual, this time it was the entrances to motorways. I think they want all the homes to be insulated properly or something like that(Insulate Britain) When environmental activists glue themselves to things, I'm in two minds about my approval of them; Ordinary people are held up and that's not fair, it causes a lot of chaos for them. However, someone needs to speak up. Our Island of Great Britain has most of the average wind, we have many lakes and rivers, parts of Britain has the strongest tides on Earth. We should be world leaders in eco friendly energy production. Somewhere in Parliament, the house of Lords or house of commons there are lobbyists putting the breaks on our environmental tech progress. They have been doing so for decades I think. 
Our world is powered mostly by Hydrocarbons; every type of Hydrocarbon that we burn for fuel has been inflated in price globally, Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Kerosine, Petroleum, Diesel. All of them are more expensive now. The countries that have significant renewable energy have a competitive edge over us because their companies will pay less money per kilowatt-hour so I think we need to act and make progress. 

Fuel supply was shaken slightly but at some point everyone started to panic and took all the fuel out of the petrol stations. They loaded their vehicles down with fuel and blocked up the roads, what can I say. It is like spring 2020 when everyone took all the toilet rolls. 

As for me, I felt lost. During the Pandemic, One of my sources of income imploded and I was left with just my job. I don't know what to do now. I don't know if I should wait till things clear up or try something else. I feel like I'm not young anymore and I'm not old, I'm a mature adult. Sometimes I would pace up and down like a caged tiger, other times I would just sit and accept the situation. 

What will happen in October? You probably know better than me.

What September means to me

For me, September has been a very busy month. I worked many hours more than normal. In the world, nature released some huge beasts, many gigantic cyclones and powerful Earthquakes hit the Americas. Long range balistic missiles were fired in the Pacific. Tensions flared on the world stage between North Korea and NATO nation's and the UN.  An amazing probe ended it's mission in the Saturn planet system and crashed into the planet and a failed terror attack occurred on the London transport system on the same day. World war 3 was on the lips of many people. I only hope for the best. Negociations for the UK exit from the EU political union and trading block was under way with various reports about the progress. Media in the UK was dominated by the Brexit negociations.

What is in store for October? All I know is there will be Halloween on the last day.
