26th March, 2025: The Book of Mormon.


It’s officially Wednesday.

The introduction video makes me look a little green.

That filter doesn’t work the way I was expecting it, to.

I was expecting the storm background to show up!

If you’re out of a job, you’re claiming benefits: especially if you’ve got associated health issues.

I am: if you hadn’t guessed.

So … ?

Anything that affects out minimal income is worrying.

The UK’s current Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is due to make her Spring Statement, today.

And is expected to make further cuts to the welfare bill.

Personally … ?

That’s worrying.

Let’s move on.

  3. Oh, and let's hope there are no major cuts to benefits announced, but things don't look too good anywhere at the moment.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
