Horrid Airbnb Experience - Part 6

In part 5, M. confront B. who is half of the man we first met. He cries and he is ashamed of himself. He promises he won't drink no more. We decide to keep him one more night and to help him with his car the following day. The night comes. M. is called to visit his sister. I decide to go with him reluctantly.  As M. and I come out of the house. B. comes down the stairs and said that he is going for a walk. I do not trust him. M. said to me to not worry that he talked to him and everything will be fine. We arrive in front of her sister house. I decide to go back to the house as I am not feeling well. I go back to the house. No one yet. I can hear the clickety of the keys in the door. I decide to open it because I know B. is back. He looks at me, scared. In his a Tesco bag with a pack of 10 Stella Artois. I am horrified. I decide not to confront him. He goes upstairs to the bedroom. I call M.: ''Come back to the house NOW''

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between  five and 15%  in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ).  I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious.  I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat.  I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour.  The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably.  Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters  were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...

The Spirit Creator

So the conversation went like this M: Is there a god? Y: There is but not in the form that people think it is. M: So what it is? Y: I cannot really answer that question. However, you may perceive God form in the story that follows. It is a story of a young man who loves to read the story of the deceased spirits because he believes that by reading their books he will be able to find the secret of life. He is particularly fond of one book who tell the tales of this wonderful king and warrior who was touched by the grace of God.  He had built an army of followers who were ready to die for him so that God's ultimate scheme for his life could be accomplished. He is so fond of the story that he decide to become a follower of the precepts and advice of the deceased spirit so that he is able to meet his destiny. M: Isn't it how most religions are organised, we have a prophet who help us to find our way to God. Y: Yes, it appears to be a mean to an end. One must be careful ...
