I just finished “The History of Bees” by Maja Lunde; it was a hard read but worth every page. I think we have come to a breaking point with the Earth, the damage mankind has done is finally catching up to us. I write next to my trusted four legged companion who is also rare.

Soon mankind might be too, if we don’t stop what we are doing to the Earth. I remember in the 90’s when I was at Uni that nature was doing great. What did we have to worry about. Now, after almost every nation on Earth has started to try to slow down our own demise.

Soon, we won’t have proper drinking water, or food. Because we have been to busy spraying our own food with chemicals. Chemicals that go into our soil & our drinking water. In India they are facing dangerous water shortages & in California people are starting to have allergic reaction to the water they depend on.

Something has to start change, not just the waste we throw into the oceans but the waste we allow to build up on land. The endless use of plastic for Everything . What if we found otherways of packaging produce, electronics & other shopping items?

The world is on a stop watch, & the countdown to our own extinction is already happening. I wonder at the children, they’re future doomed because we insisted on cleaning with chemicals in our house & when we do laundry. What will become of them?

How old will the Earth allow them to become, before we are fighting for food, not oil. Water not contaminated by chemicals we have allowed to slip into it. No we don’t belong to earth, the Earth belongs to us. But ask yourself next time you reach for the bleach to clean your house, is that really a good idea?

So, here it is the height of Summer & tomorrow the rain sets in. It’s kinda like why bother shaving your legs when it’ll rain feeling. Only my top half in tan this year, something I don’t really care so much about. Since, I no longer lie outside to get a tan, that’ll be what it will be.

It’s been that kinda Summer, we hiked in the rain 2 weeks ago, & where near hypothermic when we where done. We could only see between 50-75 meters ahead of us while we hiked in the rain & fog. Of course the next day the sun came out, such is murphy’s law.

For the next 2 weeks it’s supposed to pour down rain everyday, so much for enjoying fellesferien outside. Guess, we need to travel to some place warmer if we want a tan. We’re traveling but not until the Fall. Something I am looking forward to. Meanwhile, I guess I will just have to dodge the tourists & hope for the best in my hunt for something new.

I had to update my blog, we will have a whole week worth of sun, starting today!! I am so excited! The tempretures won’t be super high but at least it will warmer than it has been.

I also wanted to write about being perceived as a dyke when I am straight. I had a young man accuse me of being that today. Maybe it’s because I find make up artificial & fake. But thanks to Hollywood the perception is that IF you don’t wear make up you must be Gay. What a bunch of BS.

I am happily married to a man! So, what he was teaching his sister was wrong plus I find that guys check me out because I don’t look like a goose lipped doll. I like looking natural, to me that’s me being authentic to myself. I like some make up now & then but I don’t wear it everyday.

Like a friend of mine said in the US, I am liberated woman & I am. However, how that guy taught his sister is wrong. It could damage her for the rest of her life. If she thinks she has to fit into a Hollywood stereotype!

That’s damaging in so many ways. So, next time you judge someone because they’re not wearing make up ask yourself can YOU go without make up or has become so ingrained in your own self esteem that you have to wear it everyday. Cause I don’t & I am comfortable as is.
