Twenty Twenty Two

Something that interests me at the moment is the situation with Twitter, the app that allows people to post short comments (140 words) to their followers. Although I'm not a regular Twitter user - I have an account but I never use it -, I'm interested because the app was bought by Elon Musk who is one of the richest people on the planet. I think it is going to be interesting to see what Musk does with the app. He seems to be a bit of a weird person and many of his views are a bit suspect. I think he has some crazy ideas that make him sound like a "cranky madman." I think an app like Twitter can be a dangerous tool as it is being used to alter people's political views and spread mis-information and lies. In my opinion. having someone like Musk in charge of a tool like Twitter is not such a good idea. Hopefully, people will lose interest or find an alternative to Twitter and Musk will be less influencial in people's lives. What do you think? Write about some tha...

  Write about a walk you did that you would like to do again. My family is a family of keen walkers. When I was a child, my parents would often take us out for walks at the weekend. One of my favourite walks was up a Welsh hill called Moel Famau. Normally we would start from home in Mynydd Isa and walk about 5 kilometers through Mold to Loggerheads. Depending on the weather or how much time we had, we would then decide whether to do a walk up to the summit of the hill or to do a full trail. The walk up the hill is about 6km and the full trail is about 17km. My favourite was doing the full trail because part of it was though a country park called Cat walk because it was a very narrow path that was quite high (especially for a young child!). Also, this part of the walk was through woods and along a river, the other part was pine forest and bare grassland at the top of the hill. I must have walked up that hill at least 50 times in my life. One of my aunties lived in a farmhouse at the...

 Hi Bloggers, Today I'd like you to write about a country you would like to visit. I guess I've been quite lucky when it comes to travelling. I have been to some quite exotic or far-away places like Japan, Costa Rica and Australia and I have lived in 3 different countries apart from my birthplace (Spain, Chile and China). So, the country I would most like to visit at the moment is Thailand.  I don't know a great deal about Thailand but I understand it has beautiful landscapes, great beaches and amazing food. I have heard other people take about going there and it sounds really interesting. These is nothing in particular I would like to do except explore and relax. There are no particular sights I'd like to see so I think it would be a restful journey. I´d like to travel with my wife because its something we enjoy doing together. I've read a few books set in Thailand and I've seen a few travel programmes on the country and I think the natural beauty and the wildl...

 Good morning blogheads! Today I'd like you to write about something you like doing in your free time. I have lots of activities I like to do in my free time but my favourite activity is making music. I started this hobby when I got my first guitar aged 12 years old. By the time I could play 2 chords I had already written my first song. Later, as a teenager, I stated to play in bands. My first band was a punk band but I have played in lots of bands and covered many different musical styles. About 15 years ago I started making electronic music. At first I used just software but in recent years I have started using lots of different hardware. At the moment I create most music on my computer using a midi keyboard, however, I also have some Akai MPC samplers and occasionally incorporate acoustic instruments (mainly guitars).  I guess I spend at least 10-hours per week on this hobby, more if I have time. I'm currently working on a project with a Colombian friend who lives in China ...
