Good evening to you all and may the Lord pour down His Blessings on you all.

Firstly, I am behind on my emails again,
so please be patient I will get to you for sure and sort out any issues.

I am going to keep it to the point tonight.
It is my wife’s 40th birthday today and I want to spend the evening with her if you don’t mind too much!
I promise I will make it up to you all tomorrow with an extended members only video.

This country is still dealing with a medium level lockdown even now,
so there are no pubs, restaurants or any other of the usual celebratory institutions open even now after almost a year and a 1/4 of restrictions.
So tonight I will be cracking open a bottle of wine and putting down a fire outside.
And that will have to do until we get these darn restrictions are lifted!

Its funny how you can just become accustomed to government restrictions over time.
Its the old ‘boil em slowly’ trick……………

I get the funny feeling that restrictions were the whole point to this disease in the first place.
As the western world seems to be moving inexorably towards a hard socialist top down system instead of free democratic societies.
So this was our first taste of the new normal!

You know my take on the future for the world,
it is one of draconian governments, unemployment, war, social strife, shortages of food and supplies etc.
I think we are heading straight into a ww3 scenario to be brutally honest.
And I think the middle east will kick off this whole scenario.
Starting with Iran Russia and Turkey joining forces against Israel.

And where does a market collapse fit into this outlook,
well I think it could just be the first domino to go.

Forgive me for bearing my soul tonight,
I’m afraid I am not a better future kinda guy!

But that is a story for another day!

Tonight I will try to make this birthday as enjoyable as possible for my wife regardless of the not too distant future!

God bless you folks,
I truly mean that.

until tomorrow,
enda.
