Well we measured 28 degrees in the office which for us guys in London is the worst thing that could happen! We're all up in arms - "it's unbearable" , "we can't work like this", "we should all god home"...man up, seriously!

Anyway, so it looks like a fluctuation in cold to hot brings my office to it's knees. Sure, make no mistake it's like hell's furnace here so we're all in a semi state of lethargy/dormancy and are all at the cusp of nodding off.

Weather is great though!

What else can we complain about?!

Thinking of doing some writing of done sort - primarily I think I'd quite like to maintain a steady writing routine coupled with a planned and maintained writing experience. I had a look at a new piece of commercial software calked Scrivner which for all intents and purposes was just to see what it could help you do(it was a trial version). The real difficulty it seems at this point(with not having written anything yet) is finding what exactly you'd like to describe or share.

Obviously the option of writing a fiction novel is there but I'd probably be a hypocrite as I've never really found much joy in reading stories. One thing I do like doing is describing things such as poetry but my nature poetry us short and I'd like something longer but with the same poetic need for description. I'm not really sure if there exists a book like form of long poetry - I suppose poetry is a story which when generisized becomes less linguistically dramatic in place of easier to digest and follow descriptions.

Also, even through non-fiction appeals to be, I feel it is less creative and more structured and involves a but if accurate research etc...

But then again, writing snd describing things is an enjoyable activity, so whatever sparks my interest would be fair game. I know though that if you wait for something, it takes longer than persueing something, so I keep thinking and not forgetting.

There is one type of storey which always touched me and that was the truth of "To kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee and what I grasped early on was the vivid description of reality, including pain and realisation - many aspects of my early life growing up in rural South Africa as an innocent white boy in a time of seeming normality, interrupted by the realisation of racism and the ability for good people like my parents to push against it, even when it became evident that there was things not even my mother could prevent me from witnessing.

General conversation came up today about the events occurring in Libiya with Britain getting involved by initiating and targeting the Libyan government with the latest being a middle attack. It also became apparent how much we as the public are uninformed. We ask so many why's that the lack of a definitive answer yields speculation with in turn becomes rumoured truth. We tend to then get an idea, based on our rumours to piece together what has happened and inevitable we tend to think the worst and blame the government for the result which we've assumed based on what we can piece together. Point I'm making is that people, trained and specifically employed to make tactical decisions, who must consider various inplications are there for a reason. They stop, perform actions and do their job - if their job involves summing up human rights violations, ethics and cost - they do and they can't wait for the public to become experts before they execute the task at hand. Thus, things need to be done without the consensus of the public - because the public aren't experts and they cannot make a consistent, educated plan and lack the skills to execute such things. So it kinda irritates me when people around me 'know why' - it's pure speculation and most often its the single thing that checks all the criteria they have at their disposal which, will be less than that which those at the coal face have.

Why did Libiya get attacked, I don't know until they tell me - but I tell you what I'd rather them do their job, evaluate the risk and value before asking me if that's what they should do. It could be that Britain could not take the stance of letting innocent people in this world being killed just because a dictator can do that. It could be about oil and territory. I don't know. But until the government says why, how can we know why, a day, a hour, a week after it happens - unless they tell us why.

I truly believe in human nature and it is to survive and whatever our government does is so that we have a brewed chance if surviving. Obviously I need to trust that the government and it's experts know more than I do about their various fields and are essentially just and good people, which I feel being in a 1st world country, the public would demand.

My rant is slightly over now and I'm obviously no expert but hey whatever.
