No news is good news

I took Snoopy for a walk at Kelling Heath today. One in many benefits of having a dog is they make you go out and about even when you don't want to. The weather has been really nice recently - that is to say, it's sunny during the day, cold at night and frosty in the morning. 

I love this lovely blue sky and I love the warmth of sunlight on my face. It was cold still and I had to wear my winter jacket but it was just right. We saw so many planes with viper tail - drawing white lines in the lovely blue sky. On a lovely day like this, you just want to stay focus on positive things. I've heard the situation in Europe is not that great - the war in Ukraine and conflict in Israel. How I hate politics! Actually, hate is too strong a word. I don't hate it but I have no faith in politicians - I wish I did.

At home, I don't watch television. In the UK, you have to pay the BBC for a TV license to be able to watch TV but I haven't paid for TV license for a few years now. I've never really liked watching television. In the past I didn't even have a television. But 7 years ago, I came to live alone and I thought television might make my life less quiet. It did help for the first two years I watched television when I felt the house was too quiet. Then, I got used to the quiet lifestyle and so I found myself paying TV license for only to watch Wimbledon once a year, so I stopped paying. Now I only watch DVDs 

Not able to watch television means I have the pleasure of not having to watch the news. I feel like an ostrich sometimes - I don't listen to the news or watch it online either. Even all that, I feel like I know more than I should. I don't want to consume the news - I'm not trying to be ignorant I only want to be informed in moderation - just enough to be aware of what goes on. I feel like I was Bilbo Baggin sometimes - living in my Hobbit hole at The Shire where the sun is shining and the birds are singing. It's part of my Brave new world when I focus on my self growth and spiritual growth - work inwards instead of outwards - I'm a hermit in Norfolk 😅 I'm thankful and grateful with what I have and I will pray for world peace and for every one to find their own way to find peace and to be content.
