Why not Making life better for people in the inner cities - post Covid19

There has been some significant progress made in cities with the introduction of pedestrianisation in parts of the city, but it doesn't go far enough there needs to be much more pedestrianised areas, also in terms of  ⛔reducing traffic and facilitating good social distancing. 🚧 🚶‍♀️🚵‍♂️  

By having Pedestrianisation in towns, it will enable the residents to move around and socially distance more easily from shop to shop, without being hindered by the sheer volume of people that are crowded together like cattle all in one area because of the volume of  traffic taking up all space along the roads. 🏢🏪🏠🌲

The closing up of certain streets to traffic, and the redirection of ⛔traffic flow together with out of town parking, will help with social distancing in the town centre areas, and make a very great difference to the residents of inner city streets, as well as shoppers in the town centres.🏙

Residents can have a more 🏡peaceful existence, without the constant noise of traffic hurtling past their windows, non stop for hours on end. 🚘🚙🚚🚛🚑This will also be more beneficial for their mental health. 🙂

Another bonus is not having to breathe in the poisonous fumes from the petrol emissions,⛽  which causes so many health problems in the population like asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema and other respiratory illnesses.🗣🌬    🤮  

Having less cars 🚗🚙around the town centre areas would greatly improve the health of its citizens. It would also create a more pleasant and safer shopping experience, with more space for social distancing, for those visiting the city. The town centre should  be a more attractive area, which could be a more desirable place to live and buy a property🌲🏪🏠🏡


Electric cars 🚙are becoming increasingly popular. They have less dangerous emissions and are less harmful to the health of the residents.
Unfortunately, at the moment they are still pricey £ and out of reach for most ordinary people.  There should be more  discount schemes to encourage people to choose to buy electric. Who can afford it!

An updated public transport 🚌🚍system will be essential, as this will encourage people to drive less. Buses need to be cleaned 🧽thoroughly on a regular basis and kept in good condition,  Hand sanitizers🧴 provided and spacing made for social distancing.  Public transport is particularly important for people living out of town, and for those living in the outlying villages to have access to shopping centres, for visits for days out, tourism, cinema, sports centres and restaurants 🚎 fares should be kept low and concessions for pensioners and those on low incomes.

It is better for the economy £ to have safer and healthier environments to shop in. The shopping areas need to be spacious areas, good for social distancing, with benches (spaced appart) to sit on, and green 🌲🌳areas with trees. 🌄This is better for the health, as the  trees will absorb  CO2 ,  good also for the well being of the towns residents.

There are some encouraging signs that things are changing for the better. However there are still much more improvements to be made within inner city areas,  to make more space for social distancing so that any infectious diseases are less likely to spread and ensure the future health of its citizens post covid19.✅

Hier il a plu toute la journée. 🌧🌫
Quel été ! Je lis mon 📚 livre un roman policier.
Je suis assise sur le porche, 🪑🚪🌲à l'abri de la pluie avec la porte d'entrée ouverte.
Je lis mon livre et de  temps en temps je chercher les mots dans mon dictionnaire.📖
Mon fils est allé se promener avec son père 🚶‍♂️👨‍🦯 au parc pour regarder un match de football local. ⚽️ 🥅 comment peuvent-ils jouer au football par ce temps?

Je n'aime pas sortir sous la pluie battante. Je préfère rester à la maison 🏡
parce que le temps est mauvais. Je regarde les arbres  et les fleurs dans le jardin, 🌻🌷🌼🌺🌾et Je lis mon livre en paix. Quand mes gaçons rentreront chez eux, ils mangeront un bon repas chaud. 🍜🥖 C'est un Spaghetti bolognaise !

🌻🌷🌼🌺🌾🌹

La Pluie  🌧☂️🌫

Mouille, mouille, Paradis!
Tout est à l'abri;
N'y a que mon petit frère
Qui est sous la gouttière
A ramasser des p'tits poissons
Pour sa collation.
La gouttière a défoncé
Mon p'tit frère s'en est allé
Tout mouillé

Chanson populaire citée par Kuhff

The prayer 🙏of the fellowship of life.🐇

Oh God our father, 🌅we thank you for the wonder and beauty of your creation.🌲

Forgive us, we pray,🙏 that we have taken it all for granted and have ruthlessly and selfishly exploited it in so many ways contrary to thy will  🐖🐑

In particular we pray for the animals and birds,🕊🦅sharers in your creation, that are powerless to protect themselves from the terror and anguish of ⚡slaughterhouse and vivisection 🐇 laboratory, and those that die cruel and often lingering deaths so that we may wear their skins. 🦊🐆

Let us cease to turn deaf ears to their cries and teach us how to live our lives mercifully and justly so that our ❤ love for you will be mirrored by our love for  All Thy creation.

C'était bon de voir le Soleil aujourd'hui. 🌞  La température à atteint vingt degrés 20° où nous vivons. 🏡🌲
J'ai même persuadé mon fils de venir se promener avec moi.👨‍🦯🚶‍♀️
Dans le parc publique les enfants jouent.🤸‍♀️ 🌲
Ils sont revenus à nouveau. 🚵‍♂️
Ils jouent sur l'equipement de jeux et leurs mères viennent les regarder.   👩‍👧‍👦   

Sur le terrain de jeu,  les garçons jouent au football ⚽️  en plein air !

Le soleil brillait 🌞 et tout le monde était très heureux d'étre à l' extérieur. 👫⛱🌲

Bonne vacances !

The nature of God 

God is Omnipotent, Omniscient- Omnipresent.

Omnipotent- means all powerful

Omniscient - means all knowing

Omnipresent - means always there.

Exhaust pipes

Coughing out toxicity

Fossil fuels pollution

Man's complicity

Chemical solution 

Devil may care

Carbon in the air

Poisoning our lungs

Choking, smoking

Burning, croaking,

The earth is screaming

Where's the meaning?

Our children die!

The end is nigh!

(Environmental poem)

Gill Burrell

Doing their dirty deals
Setting aside their
High ideals
Corrupt to the bone and greedy
Makes one feel rather queasy
Unsafe and most uneasy
Infectious and disease- y
What are they up to now?
Behind closed doors
They're counting their cash
They're taking a bow
Wheeling and double dealing
Using and stealing
Power abusing, concealing.
We are just pawns in their game
And we're there to be slaves

They play us like fools 

Breaking the rules

But they are just ghouls

Rob from the poor to make themselves rich!

Saying -
Hard luck, life's a bitch!

So enjoy your yacht
One day it will rot!
Enjoy your cash
It will become trash
Enjoy your fast car
It will not get you far!
Enjoy your goods
They will become duds
Enjoy your gold bit
Because it will
Not be worth....s**t !
💰£ €🔫🛥⛵🚘

God will ruin those who are ruining the earth!

Capitalists are greedy because they take from the poor!

By Gill Burrell

There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:

          Haughty eyes,    👀
        a lying tongue,👅
        hands that shed innocent blood👊 👊     🙌
           A heart that devises wicked schemes,🤎
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,🦶🦶
       A false witness who pours out lies 🗯🗯🗯
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community ! 🤺

Now my module is finished for this term,  I have a little more time to reflect on the lockdown and how it has changed my life. 

Since the lockdown I have been doing a lot more recycling.
This includes things like buying my clothes from charity shops, instead of from the posh shops like Next, M&S and Dorothy Perkins.

This was mainly due to not wanting to travel on the bus, into the city and risk catching Covid 19 on the bus, or perhaps being asymptomatic, and not wanting to pass it on to others. I had no choice but to go local!

I have been able to pick up some really great bargains, like pair of new red shoes, a heater hardly used and a navy blue designer handbag at a lower knock down price!

Of course not everything can be bought in charity shops but many things can. Other items I managed to buy in the supermarket,  such as make up, socks, underwear and toiletries.

This I never did before,  because I always worried about the quality, but I had to do it, to avoid leaving the area and travelling by bus. It has actually worked out not too bad, as I also saved on bus fare!

One day I needed a spare chair for the garden,  in case we had visitors (now that we can meet outdoors) and when I was walking along I came across a skip.

There I found a garden chair and a bench, that was just what I needed , all there was to do was  a little repair job!
so with a hammer, nails, some wood glue and paint I
soon got to work and fixed them up! 
I then painted them bright green to match the colour scheme I had going on in the garden.

In the skip I also found a cupboard, which was very useful for my kitchen, and could be made into like a display cabinet to go on the wall!

Maybe,  perhaps  because of the lockdown,  I have learned to become a little bit more thrifty!
