My tribe called cats.

There are 4 of them in the picture, but you may only see 3, 1 is by my Audi turbo.
They follow me everywhere I go, it is either that or magpies drive them insane, when they are near me they feel safe, so they follow me around the fields you see. Sorry about the picture quality, it was bright sunshine, but phones are not ideal for photos at times.
Here is said missing cat. Only a kitten, only half a tail or is it tale? That tail has a tale to tell.

People and panic.

If you go to Lidl the supermarket retailer as I did yesterday, there are boxes after the tills for people to leave items for people from the Ukraine. Yet I go on social media and there are war deniers. They know the media told lies over the last 2 years so now they do not believe there is a war, due to the media, I get it, I do, but the refugees are real, so no cigar if you are denying there is one.
Now the subject matter at hand is why do people panic buy?
This last weekend there was no money left in any ATM for miles.
There were queues for fuel too. Then there was no fuel left.
My wife had to drive 20 miles just to get fuel.
I am at a disadvantage I guess as I do not watch TV, I do not read a newspaper neither.
So today I shall set off to see if anything has changed, but unlike other people or some people I tend to store fuel, food, and cash at home in multiple locations - so no matter what the TV tells them to do, I have some to spare and keep us going.
The TV has a lot to answer for, but so does peoples addiction to it, does it not! Statement, not a question.

What happened to the rona circus?

Apart from Chinese con-trolled Hong Kong that circus seems to have left town.
I have a friend there, he tells me they now have to do daily testing to keep the numbers up and the citizens in fear.
All the same, all is calm here, for now, not watching the news helps, enormously.
So today I am off to play silly buggers with motorbikes and cats, my chosen weapon today is a bike that scares the crap out of most people, but not me, the KTM 300, I call it the widow maker.

Nobody is guaranteed a tomorrow anyway.

So excuse me whilst I fail to get carried away with any hysteria.
If the war comes over the border, so be it. If it does not the people are anyway.
Off to play silly buggers with some bikes, some cats and some love in my heart for living, had enough of being sold fear, final answer.

Have a lovely sunshine filled day one and all, where ever you are.

No time to edit, any mistakes stand, off to ride and be free from mental bondage. Lovely day for it.
