What technology would you be better off without, why?

Computer controlled cars.

While they are great for enviroment the electric powered additions to society.

They come at an expense many families can’t afford. The very families that have disabilities or young families on low income.

It also takes away a person’s right to fix there own car. The amount of sensors on cars now that do fail sometimes. You get a mechanical problem there is always ways to fix it yourself even if you know little about cars.

With sensors and computers they can paralyse the car from working and the expense spirals very quickly.

Same with the new tech in appliances.

I know someone who spent over 1000 on a washing machine it had all these advanced tech on it but it always broke down from the moment they got it  a basic appliance if treated correctly will last longer. Have you never wondered why someone can have a thirty year old fridge that still works today but get a new one they advise you to purchase insurance and it always breaks down when that three year insurance runs out.

Is it technology?  or is it quality of mass produced products.?

With all things.I think things aren’t made to last any more what is it they call it ? A throw-away society.

I was brought up with if you can’t afford to replace fix it up that still stands to this day. Bless my pour hubby always keeps him on hos toes my list of fix em ups 😀❤️

Have an awesome day

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

To be the one down to make life decisions for my mum if she couldn’t.

That was the hardest thing.

My mum was a fighter she went through so much but she was feicely against DNR.

She asked me to be the one who made sure they attempted to resuscitate.

She knew I had her back on this. She knew no matter what doctors said about letting her die with dignity I would fight for her wishes to be treated with dignity and respect.

She knew no-one could make me change my mind because we had the same values on right to life and treatment.

She knew that because all her life she stood up for others. She advocated for others. That’s what my mum passed on to me.

I valued and respected her wishes till the end.

Much love Faye ❤️

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

We kinda follow traditional dishes for the Christmas holidays.  Turkey. Gammon. lamb and all the trimmings that go with Christmas meal.

Easter, we mix English and Greek traditional meals.

Because celebrating both cultures is important to us.

Halloween holidays, that’s where you can get a little more creative with foods and explore some different flavours and creepy styles.

Winter holiday months you do the more warm meals like stews and cassarols. roast dinners hibernation mode

Summer holidays are more bbq salads and lighter foods. Chicken. lose all the weight you put on from colder months.

I guess it’s very much like the animal kingdom. That gather things to get them through the colder weather.

It’s probably why people are drawn to duvet and sofa days in colder months and have less activity. Which almost certainly adds to the pounds around the waist line. And the motivation to get beach ready as soon as spring hits ready for summer activities.

Hope you have a wonderful day

Much love faye ❤️

What are your favorite animals?

I would like to say dogs. But after the present one left me this morning I can safely say I am glad my house is pet free. 🤮

Seriously though I like watching animals from a far in someone else’s house.
