AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 44.

So, like her taking refuge in the now seemingly confused and no longer clearly demarcated state of what is 'real' and what is 'not real', for those of us looking in, as she looks out.  I, also, am only human, increasingly prone to becoming annoyed, very annoyed, and exasperated.   With the unsolvable challenge she is presenting me with. her stressed and no longer clearly demarcated perception of what is 'real' and what she is only imagining. Yes, I do understand that by now that she does find me very annoying, for displaying my sense of disbelief, of, owe no, not that again, for crying out silently or loudly, as I might do.  I mean, the latest source of annoyance, for both my dear mother and me, is that she should again be complaining that an ex-neighbour is harassing her and causing her be feel very distressed.  So, the door bell rings during the night at a time which my dear mother considered rather odd. She does not see who, if

IMMIGRATION/MIGRATION - THE TRUTH ABOUT GOING AND COMING. THE END....

When we begin to see more people speaking languages which we do not understand.  Wearing clothes which are still, in the slow process of assimilation, perceived as 'exotic', 'foreign.'  When we observe and are require to adjust to living amongst people who, as it were, have other, different religions and seemingly worship different gods than 'our own.'   When we perceive ourselves to be no longer 'the one', 'the main one', but just 'one of many; many different peoples.'  Even if the plan, the aspiration, must now become that of sculpting, engineering a 'new one' from the different and diverse many which fate seemed to have thrown together. Yes, emigrating and becoming migrants and immigrants is something which we are all in favour of.  Especially when it is us, who, of necessity, free-will, or tragic misfortune, are the migrants or immigrants.  When it is us who must occupy the chair labelled, ' the

This, then, is what we have seen being displayed as probably the most spectacular single achievement of the complementarity, the mutuality of the partnership between Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes.  Resulting in Team Mercedes and Hamilton combining team strategy and driving racing mastery, probably as they have never successfully done before, to win the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix. So, yes, A Massive Congratulation to Team Mercedes and Hamilton for masterfully converting your P.3 Q.3 position, to winning the Grand Prix on Sunday. For not having decided to just play it safe and hold onto P.2. For having taken their racing and driving strategies to the next level, when the opposition, when Team Ferrari and Team Red Bull up their game and are making or threatening to make it stick. A Very Big Congratulation to Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull, also, for having driven a masterful competent race, and making it to P.3. And to Team Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel, for a

From being the, (let us make use of some dramatic language) bastard son or offspring of the then Great Britain, the United States has become the somewhat uneasy, powerful but somewhat disdained 'champion' of the British psche.  It is envied for its dominance in matters of trade, industry, its almighty Dollar and military might.  But it is also despised for its perceived social and intellectual 'inferiority.'  For what might be considered as its 'barbarities', considering that it has only been 160 years ago since the USA was still a slaveocratic nation.   And that is still in the throws of freeing or not freeing its African-American from the pernicious slaveocratic institutions, mentally and physically, which still shackles both the oppressed and the oppressor together. Until now, that is. Because the court jesters are no longer willing to suffice with just entertaining the elites and the courtiers.  Instead they want and have taken ov

He has now become the mature adult and still improving master racer. A racer who might have, earlier in his Formula 1 racing career, even have been prepared to countenance dying on the circuit like his racing hero, role-model, Senna.  But has now matured and grown more confident in who he is, including his achievements as a Formula 1 racer.  And now knows that a great racer, a master racer.   Does not have to take risks which could shorten ones life, in order to become the best, or one of the best Formula 1 racers of all time. This is now where Lewis Hamilton is at; he is a master-class, and probably the best amongst those with whom he has been racing, and others whom he had not had the opportunity to race.  Such a racer as Hamilton now is, does not use a 'Hammer' to win races. He used experience, relevant skills, patience, pacing and the deployment of and utilisation of the Team Mercedes support on which the high quality of his racing performance is pred

Back to 'the special relationship' between the USA and Britain.  Well, of course it is not really that surprising that they should have 'a special relation.'   Since large parts of North America were colonised by the British before the diverse European immigrants and descendants of immigrants who were living there during the late 1700s fought and defeated the English and declared themselves independent.  So, yes, tenuous as it might appear and become at times, their is a tangible and historical linkage between the United States of America and Britain. Quite apart from the continuing Nato and trade links. But while this link can manifest itself in positive ways, it can also do it in negative ways.  As we have seen from how Trumpism has manifested itself in becoming a curse in highlighting and enhancing divisions and conflict in the USA.  Becoming a blight on the nation's already scarred landscape. And how it has become cloned in Britain,

'Hammertime', is no longer a fitting exclamation for when his fans want to motivate him to make the extra effort to achieve a feat which seems to be out of or only partially in his grasp.  After all, 'Hammertime' is not only a play on Lewis Hamilton's surname; it is also a reference to the God, Thor, wielding his massive hammer to crack skulls and all other objects standing and lying between him and his objective, his desires.  The hammer is suggestive of a blunt and even crude weapon, even though its wielder might well possess many delicate skills in wielding it with great precision and versatility. There was a time, in his early Formula 1 career, when raw pace and crash, if not death defying racing courage formed a large part of Lewis Hamilton's racing repertoire.  That was a time when describing Hamilton's hunt for Grand Prix wins, as "Hammertime", was not incoogruent. Now it is, because the rookie, the teenage racer, the
