arlier this month we went on holiday/vacation, which we are very much enjoying. Weeks earlier we published press releases [1, 2] about a hearing that ended 4 weeks ago. We were clear about what happened.

Garrett told a bunch of nonsense in public. Maybe was was made to believe this nonsense, as he had not attended his own hearing. Why? Go figure…

Garrett’s lawyer and barrister only spent a few years in this occupation. It’s the same lawyer and barrister who work for his friend, Graveley. They work on this together.

My lawyer and barrister have both spent decades in this occupation and are vastly more experienced, they know the two men above are “bullies” and have “basically lost”… it’s “embarrassing to them”.

Some dumb words in social control media won’t change this.

‘ve noticed some minutes ago that the person who attempted to put me in prison (and my wife also!) said “[g]oing to be real and sentimental for a moment… what I’ve been dealing with for the past couple of years…”

Projection. Ask his spouse what happened.

Ask my wife, too.

He is not the victim. He’s not the poor baby. My wife and I sued him in September 2024 [1, 2] and we ran out of money because he had liaised with a strangler of women to drain our legal budget. Now he attacks his own spouse.

These people are void of morals.

magine someone in Karachi paying to the British government (directly or indirectly), then stating upon paying, “hey! I have lots of money to spend to try to convince you that some critics of mine in the UK need to be arrested along with their spouses! I HAVE MONEY TO SPEND. PLEASE DO THIS!” This is what someone in the US did this year. Now he comes to grip with the fact that it didn’t work, it makes him look bad, and it’s hard to spin that as something justifiable.

If you have an evil plan, and if you carry on regardless (despite being forewarned that it would fail), it’ll only ever backfire.

s adults, our perspective varies. To kids, summer means time off school. Everyone is the same in that respect. It means the liberty to do extracurricular things or nothing at all, maybe even just watching TV all day. In some jobs, summer is not different from the rest of the year because shops or services must be available all year long, except maybe Xmas Day and Boxing Day. This means that one’s holidays or days off depend on one’s choice of “dates to book”.

This year we decided to start the long break after the first week of August and in order to avoid boredom I read and I write a lot, I do more exercise, and I try to enjoy the warm(er) weather.

Two days in, this feels like the best break in my adult life. No impending deadlines, no “back to school”, and more time spent with animals.

T is the second day of our vacation and I’ve spend much time away from keyboard. Later today we plan to test some changes in the sites [1, 2] and this coming week I catch up with old letters, some of them procrastinated (set aside) since January. I want to get everything tidied up ahead of September.

A man called Andrew, who is the person that used to be our main source of food (before that Lisa), seems to have an upward or upstream shortage this summer. But we’ve found a good alternative and we can get excellent, healthy food for decent prices.

In my experience, being clever about purchases can be a valuable skills, more so during shrinkflation and greedflation.

Many more times than we can recall

T was nearly a year ago that we went away on holiday and caught up with personal matters while hired guns in London kept harassing and obsessing over us. They vainly believed they and only they were entitled to holidays.

How can we ever forget this?

This is a profound character problem.

HIS morning or today is the first day of our 3-weeks-and-3-days break, which will end in September. I’ll write more or less as usual, but many tasks will remain aside (procrastinated) until it’s time to deal with them. We need to have fun, to relax, and to look ahead at a productive rest of the year (4 months).

Today we cemented what has become a 4-times-a-week habit of feeding birds in Mayfield, which is rapidly being improved, not just the private residential buildings there. The Depot has a ton of work done on it this year, as well as on surrounding areas.

It’s incredible how fast this city develops. Even previously ugly and neglected areas are being “modernised”.
