The Pensioner

Wardie Square

I was hardly out the house all day - we set about removing the Christmas decorations which took a considerable length of time. That was only after a long long long talk with the son. A talk of two halves; the first half I made him feel terrible, the second half I made him feel much better. Best to do it that way round. I then took out the recycling to find the local communal bins full so had to head up Wardie Steps to Granton Road. And there was scenic Wardie Square to blip. Blip!
What about this upcoming 2024 though? Blimey things are kicking off all over the Middle East which threaten to spill into a larger regional conflict often involving Iranian proxies. Non-state actors armed with UAVs. It makes you realise that the Cold War was actually quite a stable and safe situation. Come back old Lenny Brezhnev. Meanwhile Russia is tooling up using North Korean missiles in Ukraine and Trump, who is ahead in the opinion polls will probably pull the plug on much US support for NATO. Still, no point in worrying. It may not happen.
