Hello everyone,
I`m a substack newbie here. I`m a reviewer for Trustpilot and love to try out new things… recipes, books, services, products, anything that`s being sold to the general public. I believe in people power and we are the best judge of what we like and don`t like. What we need and don`t need. There`s always someone or something out there, who want to tell us how to think or behave. I like the idea of us helping each other out, recommending something that`s good and giving a heads up when things are not so good or down right bad.
The world is changing and not always in a good way. People are changing too. You don`t have to be very old to feel almost redundant in this fast paced, digital, need it yesterday world of ours.
Just going to your local supermarket is an eye opener. I`m amazed what some girls and young women are wearing these days. I don`t mean fashion in general, but gym wear, outside of the gym? The fabric is very sheer and hugs every lump, bump and crevice 😮 Most of these young ladies have nice figures, don`t get me wrong, but I do wonder about their safety as they walk around. Not everyone has self control………
We still have a love affair with carbs and sugar. Its amazing what some people put in their trolleys (carts if you are American) as they pass you by. I saw one lady with 7 big bottles of 7up, as she was trying to reach for some big bags of crisps. Its crazy really, a world of extremes. Two thirds of the world are stuffing their faces, while the last third, are living off nothing more than fresh air…MAD………….
Some people are now removing the yellow reduced price stickers and putting them on the fresher food items. If they can afford it, then why can`t they just pay for it. Don`t they realise, that if they remove the reduced sticker from that food item, then it can not be sold. As this cost of living crisis takes hold, some people are becoming a bit selfish. You can see it at the reduced aisle section. Pushing in, reaching out across someone`s face and some people there, with several items in their arms and still taking. What it will look like when food is in short supply, due to harvests failing or war, I don`t know. Rationing will probably have to come back. One good thing though, it will sort out the obesity problem!……
Yes this world is perplexing but then you see something out of the norm or what passes for normal these days and it gives you a little lift. Coming home from the seaside a week or so ago. The weather was foul for June and I was feeling a little deflated. I saw all of these seagulls sitting very quietly on the ground. Then I realised that they were all asleep. Standing in the middle of them was a homeless person. He didn`t have 2 pennies to rub together but he was so happy feeding and singing to these birds. He said he fed and sang to them everyday. He was so happy looking after those birds and nothing else mattered to him.
As we left he was busy singing “rain drops keep falling on my head”….. I couldn`t help but smile and that grey and blustery June… seemed a little brighter.❤
