RedFox Blog: A Warm Start To Spring.
Post 826 9/4/21
Writing this post is under a cloudy sky with temperature up in the 20’s. What has happened to our weather. In days gone past the weather would have been very different. That it is warm is very strange because usually it very cold or a mild start to spring somewhere in the teens. In the UK the weather has not been like this since 1986. It though not very uncommon that spring has an unusual start. I remember back in 1981 I was taking my gran back to mill Rd when it started to…snow. It was so cold. And now it is very warm and humid.
I see no problems with the weather being so kind. But! would like a part of the year where it is more mild but not cold. Now you walk out and it is one thing or another. But not in between. Always extremes but nothing in the middle for the beginning of the six months of summer. Maybe I too old to think that things will remain the same. But! it would be nice for everyone to have the same weather that I enjoyed when I was young. But due to climate change this will never happen again. It will become a thing of the past and the weather patterns being more and more unpredictable.

Myanmar is the next country on the list that is now heading towards Civil war. The military there has taken over the government believing they were ousted out of control and therefore it was not something they could afford to lose. The power was the military and no civilian was allowed to play any part in government. However they allowed a Prime Minister of sorts to be allowed to lead the country and free and fair elections brought about a civilian government for the first time in 30 years. And now that government has been abolished because it was popular.
Now the military have taken control again the population especially the young are now fighting the military. They do not want to return to the days of military rule. However this fight has taken its toll. Lots of Civilians have lost their lives to the guns of the army. And now the Civilians have found weapons of their own and are fighting back. Many countries that border the country do not want to intervene. But Russia and China are saying it is legal for the military to take over. But as one voice the United Nations including China and Russia are telling the military to lay down their weapons. Will they ? We shall see.
