Carshalton Ponds - Slip-Way!

Honeywood Museum: Charshalton Ponds & Billiard Room! (21.2.2026)

We visited the Honeywood Museum in nearby Carshalton Ponds – as the Staff and Management added a Chinese New Year display to the usual mixture of local history artefacts. We have visited in the past – but I do not recall the impressively “large” Billiard Room which seems to have been converted to a “Snooker Room”. Me and Gee sat and drank a cup of coffee outside the Honeywood Museum – watching the numerous types of birds traverse the surface of the water. I think we entered the Museum probably in the wrong direction – and immediately emerged in the Billiard Room – which seemed to corelate seamlessly with Pond itself. During Victorian times, the well to do, those who owned local business and large country-homes – often could often afford all the lateest scientific devices. The air around the Ponds was fresh and yet mild – a thoroughly invigorating experience!

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Russia: Lavrov – Europe is Trying to Give Nazism an “Acceptable Look”! (20.2.2026)

Lavrov stressed that “preserving the memory of the fight against Nazism is especially important to prevent the revival of misanthropic ideology in any formats, in any manifestations.” The minister recalled that 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the completion of the Nuremberg Tribunal, “at which history issued a final, irrevocable verdict to the war criminals of the Third Reich guilty of genocide of the peoples of the former Soviet Union.”

Happy Chinese New Year - 2026-4724!

UK: Our Chinese New Year Cards & Coins [2026-4724]! (17.2.2026)

The Trump II era is currently pumping-out the propaganda that “Chinese New Year” is NOT “Chinese” (i.e. not relatable to the 1.8 billion people who inhabit Mainland China) – but is in fact merely the “Lunar New Year” which belongs to everyone but the “Chinese”. Apparently, whilst using coded messaging in the mainstream press suggesting that “old” and “oppressive” regimes should be “overthrown” – the US anti-intellectualism that controls the White House does not seem to realise that there are MANY “lunar” calendar that do not align with the Chinese version (the Buddhist and Mohammedans are two examples). Ironically, within China there are both Buddhists and Muslims who celebrate the Chinese New Year – because they are “Chinese”. Outside of China, Muslims tend to reject anything not permitted by their religious leaders – although Buddhists are far more flexible (as they do not worship an “imagined” theistic entity). The point of Chinese New Year is to share the joy of this “Spring Festival” as traditionally people looked forward to a new rice-crop that would sustain the nation!

Happy Chinese New Year of the Double (Red) Fire Horse!

UK: ICBI Chinese New Year Message – Lunar Spring Festival – 4724! (17.2.2026)

As compassion and loving kindness grows and is magnified through the more people it is shared with – these statements act as “ripples” of positive energy emanating that traverse through the portals of the past, present, and future – excluding none and embracing all! Of course, the Buddha defined the human mind as being that capacity which can perceive the present, recall the past, and plan for the future. This is a remarkable observation. What the Ch’an School offers, infused as it is with the thinking associated with Confucianism – and the far older “Book of Change” – is that the mind should a) be “stilled” (realising a relative emptiness), b) a product of purifying all vestiges of greed, hatred, and delusion, and c) and in so-doing experiencing the expansion of this “emptiness” realisation into an “all-embracing” reality.

Trump Abolishes Pseudo-Eco-Fascism With Sweep of Pen!

US: Trump Abolishes “Fake” Obama-Era “Green Agenda”! (13.2.2026)

“There is no convincing evidence that human activity adds-to or subtracts-from the agency of “natural” Climate Change”. When all the evidence is corelated and processed, the percentage of “unnatural” Climate Change (occurring due to deliberate human activity) is 50-50. In other words, no better than “chance” – or from an academic perspective – “nothing is happening”. It is the considered view of the Russian Academy of Science that “unnatural” (human-induced) Climate Change is a bourgeois (racist) invention of the capitalist West, designed to prevent Second and Third World countries from undergoing the industrialisation process that has made First World countries the advanced entities they now are.”
