What is with this psycho weather, rain rain and more rain for months.
Then today for no reason at all, 26 degrees celcius. Then tomorrow, 14 celcius and next week, rain.
Well i guess today was the entire summer here then lmao.

I can finally exist again. The heat did a number on me. X_X
I hope Gamescom will redeem what was a dreadful Summer Game Fest. It should probably be renamed to Summer Lame Fest.
LOL.
LOL.
Vaughan Gething is the sum of all the undesirable traits in modern Britain - especially when it comes to politicians. Currently he is the Welsh First Minister and recently lost a Vote of No Confidence whereupon he started bursting into tears on public television after receiving the news. Afterwards he ignored all of the political conventions and refused to resign or call a General Election and simply ignored the vote and carried on as if nothing had happened. Most of his Party were too polite to say anything as several of Gething's political opponent's who have criticised him have been slandered (by both him and others) as racist due to Gething being mixed-race. Added onto the fact that he's already been accused of several counts of corruption when it comes to finances and refuses to hand any dodgy money back.
Wales has truly become little more than a banana republic these days and its sad to see.

May be time to go to sleep i think, it would be sooooo great if this flu and cough would not attack me with a coughing fit as soon as i lay down tonight.
Hey influenza, you suck.

It could be Covid. The two viruses are very similar.
You should keep a testing kit, since the virus is still at large.
As for my rant: I see more rain clouds up in the sky. Rain has certainly been plentiful this summer in Scotland. But at least my hay fever has not been dire this week.

The madness of universities continues to infuriate me. A newspaper article from the other day highlighted that Sheffield University was handed £1.5 million of taxpayers' money in order to research the "whiteness" of English Folk Music. Unsurprisingly since they seem to be looking for invented problems, they criticised the "white-centricity" of our native folk music and said that it needs to be "decolonised".
Putting aside the fact that England is the native home of the English and so the phrase decolonised makes no linguistic sense...Could you even imagine the outrage if for example, someone went to an African country and said their cultural music was too "black centric" and needed decolonisation. I am so glad I chose not to waste my time and money going to university if this is the quality of their output.

At this point, it's no longer a left/right sort of thing. Anyone who tries to defend this government is just plain ol' evil. That's all there is to it...
I was ordering my mom's death certificate.
For context: in Finland, you can get a death certificate with no one questioning why if you are e.g. the descendant's child. If there is no family connection, you have to provide proof of, for example, research purposes.
The certificate is requested online through state's official identification system, the same one you can use to sign documents, take care of your taxes etc. So it is considered 100% sure the applicant is me.
The ID system is also linked with information about my relatives, so technically, it contains proof that I really am the descendant's child.
For the deceased's information, I provided my mother's social security number, date of birth and all. And checked a box with "I am the deceased person's child or grandchild".
All good. Thought about getting the certificate right away.
NOPE.
The applications are MANUALLY REVIEWED.
By a REAL STATE AUTHORITY.
Who writes a DECISION ON GRANTING THE DOCUMENT FOR ME.
Ok, it is not a formal decision (although, as a lawyer I raised my eyebrows a tad too high when seeing them call it a "decision" which in this context refers to a _formal decision_ and not any informal crap, long story short but I could get the state in a small but inconvenient trouble lol) but anyway IT IS DONE BY A REAL PERSON, IN REAL WORKING HOURS.
It would be SO EASY to make it automatic. So easy.
And I'm not buying any "personal information, IT security, GDPR blahblah" crap here, namely because the state has already automatized some processes of granting social support for the living citizens, which can be easily argued to carry a tad more IT security and GDPR interest anyway than a deceased person's cause of death.

I am actually so tired of having to mow an acre and a half of grass and trim hedges every week or two after killing my body at work all that same week
So tired of it i am thinking about concreting the whole place, but i want my daughter and dogs to have a garden so i will continue on ugghhhhh.
My daughter is nearly 11 though so maybe i can pay her to do it on the ride on mower and she can feel good about earning some money for herself.
