Cold in the house (16º or less). Next week, even I don’t want to, I’ve to buy Kerosin (heating oil). No, it’s not about the money, the environmental impact is what hurts me.

As so many years before, I hope money is soon no issue anymore for me and I can transition over to a heat pump for the heating.

That involves more insulation and new windows as well. Unfortunately, the original owner, who build the house, did everything mainly cheap (Celtic tiger times), as he never lived in the house on his own.

The sad thing, I see here lately too is, how many people are really planning to burn peat again. “Pure” Methane/CO2 in high compressed form, more or less. The worst you can do, everybody does it for sure to “save money”, because we use all the money available to us, on all the wrong places and wonder why this planet goes to shit.

I talk to you, the Irish government, who has the opportunity putting billions of Euro’s (tax returns) to good use, but in the background, I guess, they already think about how to shove it in the ass of big, mainly US corporations, again, telling anyone, it’s for a functional economy.

But what good does a capitalistic economy for, when … again, the planet goes to shit for anyone 🤔

Something completely different, today I realized, what I really start to miss, be able to hug someone I love more often. My kids are teenagers, young adults, so no hugging there anymore 😢
