Being alone. Well I am an introvert as well, happy to be by myself and do my own thing - selfish I know.

I think it's about time that all these criminals (terrorists) were kept out of harm's way. Letting that Khan man out to wander the streets was a crime in itself.

I am so sorry for the two deaths. I hope the group that let him free will see these faces everyday. <br />We have a similar problem in the U.S. Where I live it is cartel and drug gang members plus lot of gun violence, Sanctuary Cities and States. Lots of repeat offenders. <br />parsnip<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-5641545366893436502019-11-30T11:46:52.050-08:002019-11-30T11:46:52.050-08:00I expect that because I work shifts (NHS) in a big...I expect that because I work shifts (NHS) in a big city, Saturday is quite often just like any other day here (so is Sunday, depending on my shift pattern). I used to hate Sundays as a child as all the shops were shut and hardly anything was open but nowadays in and around big cities most things are open and there is a lot going on. <br />I always feel for lonely people on Christmas day as that is the day when most things are closed everywhere, apart from hotels and restaurants and it would be very sad to sit in one of those on your own when everyone else is with family and friends. I worked last Christmas day though and am at work again this year so will be having dinner with family once I've finished.<br />I don't think the time of year helps either as it is so dark for much of the time which doesn't lift the spirits at all.<br />Dog walks are definitely a great way of meeting up with others.

I hope that these people take note of what happens when terrorists are let loose and back into the community and he will carry it forward in his way of thinking for his next seminar.
