Considered Opinions -Reclaiming the language

In George Orwell’s 1984 there is a conversation about how the invention and control of NewSpeak silences dissent as it removes the ability to express another opinion. In our world today we have witnessed the redefinition of many words and their subsequent loss from normal usage. Language and definitions are also central to the Overton window and the parameters of acceptable behaviour.

Join us as we discuss the redefinition of words, what words are currently at risk, and how we can reclaim our language and the narrative of our culture.

A typical weekend?

Saturday morning finish painting the decks

Saturday afternoon cut a tree stump down to ground level. It’s about about 40″in diameter, so I spent a bit of time on this, because our chainsaw can only handle up to 16″ diameter.

Sunday morning

Spray the remaining Agapanthus’s and other weeds, before the morning wind gets up and going.

Meanwhile, the neighbours stump grinding the roots of yesterday’s tree stump.

Sunday afternoon
Remove 3 trailer loads of new mulch from that tree stump, and put it around our tree’s.

Monday morning

Feeling tired, cant think why….

Plants, some of them thrive, others not so much

It’s been quite a dry summer so far, so every couple of days, I’m out there watering our tree’s.
Some are doing well, others not so much. I haven’t figured out why.

I’ve had tree’s go well for months, then suddenly go backwards at a great rate of knots! . I found that if I move these tree’s to a new location, they take off again -I don’t know why, but it works..
