Meandering 2

I am one of life's great daydreamers. I spend a lot of time dreaming about what I would do if I won the lottery, probably never will though. Even putting the word probably in the last sentence shows that I am an optimist. I am an optimist and proud of it I like to always think a positive spin on everyday things and happenings. It would be so easy to take the lazy attitude of quite a lot of people and think negatively, but that wouldn't be much fun at the end of the day. Take one of my favourite subjects at the moment global warming. I laugh at the way a lot of people are trying to solve the 'problem' by taxing it to the hilt. I would much rather they tried to make the available fuels cleaner. It's now over a hundred years since the advent of the internal combustion engine surely some research has uncovered a way to make their fuels cleaner and polute less. If they oil companies haven't found a way then they have committed a great crime against humanity. They cannot have thought that fossil fuels would last forever or that the dirt and grime produced would be allowed by the masses to continue. Has the Industrial revolution ended? What has happend to imagination and endeavour? We should have been driving around in some sort of hybrid vehicles by now which would run for the most part on electricity with a hydrogen powered engine keeping the batteries topped up.
Watch this space for more of my wondering mind.

Meandering

I most times come to my blog with a clear idea of what I want to write, but by the time I've logged in and clicked on everything to get to the new post page I've forgotten what I wanted to say here.............

Global warming again

I was just wondering the other day how long will it take the meany greenies to realise that fizzy drinks like coke, tizer, irn bru etc. are all made with the injection of CO2 - the dreaded green house gas. And how long before they will demand the banning of said drinks as contributing to global warming.

At which point the planet populace will surely realise that global warming and meany greenies are all stark staring mad

Sharon & Dale's BBQ

Had a great time food was good too. I'll have to get a WII.

Greener energy

I'd like the Scottish government to really get behind greener energy so long as it doesn't become an excuse to rip people off. There really is a danger in Britain from the rip off culture. I would really like to heat my home from ground source geothermal energy but I am stopped from doing it by the cost. Most people need the government to hand out very substantial grants to enable them to get into this. The average cost of completing a renewable scheme/project for the home is around £8000 and the Scottish Government through the Energy Trust will give a grant of around £4000. This is good but I want to completely remove my dependency on energy suppliers which would mean installing geothermal, wind generating, solar generating and maybe air source heating plant. This would allow me to remove the gas supply to my home and all heating would be free once the cost of installation was completely paid which could take 10 years.

June

Here we are in June and the sun is shining for a little longer each day and there is hope of summer in the air. Summer holidays and the chance to play enough golf that my game might improve instead of remaining at the pitiable state it is in just now. I will probably just continue playing very little and doing ever more DIY in the home. I am about a week away from asking for a completion certificate for my extension and then it's on to the kitchen remodel, a major project once more. No rest as they say for the wicked - I keep trying to remember what it was I did.
Sharon it's your birthday tomorrow Friday 6th and I would like to wish you a very happy Birthday. will I mention your age better not, you know what it is ;>
