So. Yesterday I had 3 different SMS messages saying
Warning! Tonight (21.06) and heavy rainfall at night. Possible river surges. Get ready for flooding. Follow the instructions of the service.
We had a decent Thunderstorm & quite a bit of rain.
But to the East of us around a small town called Bochnia (which has a small working Salt Mine & a really good shooting range that I (used to) take tours to) they woke up to this
Three stabbed on Bournemouth beach. People shitting and pissing in Bournemouth residentâs gardens, shitting in empty burger boxes and leaving it on the beach for others to clear up. What the fuck is happening to this country?
Besides being on a pub crawl, today Iâm actually working. I finally collected my furlough pay this morning - phew, and have been snapping for our FB Page.
The news is that Iâve been invited to be radical. Tomorrow the Tourist Industry has a protest drive around town, doing French Farmer stuff to push local Gov to expand its marketing &new tour development budget ( I had a bit to do with that - tiny bit but)
Looking forward to watching on the news as I explained I dont think my Polish is good enough to debate politics with a Cop while blocking a motorway intersection with a banner.
At least its something the Government are doing, the Chinese like the Russians are simply bullies, we need Trump out in November and a credible source to deal with these rogue states.
Interesting article. But not sure logging is the cause.
The South & East of Poland has also seen almost daily flash flooding - some very close to us.

The warm dry winter has affected crops - that is an issue as we are the main EU exporter of fruit. Anyway this is our neighbour

Either way, without knowing the source, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of a disease crossing into the human population - especially if the cause is in either the water sources or the soil. Dr McCann points to the Covid-19 pandemic, which is believed to have started in animals.
âYes, it is a conservation disaster - but it also has the potential to be a public health crisis,â he said.
The new swine flu in China and now this, Gaia is fighting backâŠ
The flash floods we had in just a 2 postcode area in Liverpool (13th June)whilst everywhere else in the City was just getting normal hard rain tells me future weather storms are going to be so localised itâll be hard to protect, Iâve never seen rain like it in this Country, Garston was flooded in 30 mins yet Aigburth had normal rain.
For me that is the lesson of visiting Auschwitz. Yes it stands to reind us to never again allow such horrors but the reality is that it stands as a beacon of hope for humanity, that it can survive.
Hopefully heading back there before the end of June as pre-booked holiday makers arrive
