Hello Gentle Readers
The last 10 years have been good for me personally and professionally. I married Lena, we adopted Robert and my career is getting better all the time.
This post is about the 10 things I have disliked about the 2010's.
1 The rise of populist politics.
Right wing policies and nationalism have turned politics into a joke, unfortunately noone is laughing.
2. Brexit
Pointless and useless. The populist policies of the UK government have wrecked my country both politically and socially. I will never return to live there.
3. Trump.
The Idiot in chief. NUFF SAID.
4 The rise of ISIS.
Although mostly gone the activities of the Islamic State have left a scar on the world. The most horrible part of which has been the radicalisation of European Muslim youth due to their treatment by the governments of their home countries.
5. Genocide in Myanmar
The treatment of the Rohinga muslim minority is a genocide and the Myanmar government and their military are to blame.
6. Treatment of the Uighars in China.
Brainwashing and re-education. China sucks in so many ways. We lived there for 2 years.
7. Continuing denial of Climate change.
Forest fires in Australia. Sea level rise and droughts and floods. Yet politicians still dont accept that its happening.
8. The Rise of Clickbait.
Advertising is important but this manipulative form is having a negative impact on our youth.
9. The 'Gender' debate.
There are 2 'Male' or 'Fenale' enough said.
10. Fake news. Journalism used to be trusted now anyone can claim what they want when they want.

Christmas Adventure. Day 2
Well Gentle Readers, our Christmas adventure continued today.
We picked up our car from Budget in Budapest and drove out of the city heading out on the highway. It was really windy but the roads were very good.
We stayed overnight in Croatia in the town of Varezdin and we went to our first, rather small, Xmas market. We bought a hat for Robert, gloves for me and a rather fetching set of ear muffs for Lena.
The hotel was small and the staff were friendly and very helpful.
We drove north into Slovenia where we had to buy a road tax sticker called a vignette. We needed one for Slovenia and Austria.
We seemed to take no time at all to cut through Slovenia but it looks amazing and we will try to come back in the future.
We didnt get a chance to stop in Slovenia but we did stop for lunch in Austria and had Schnitzel. I am sure in Vienna it would be better but we were disappointed with it.
The drive was uneventful apart from Robert making up a song and we arrived in the beautiful city of Vienna about 3.30. We checked into our hotel and headed straight for Vienna's metro to go to the central square for Vienna's famous Xmas market.
It was amazingly beautiful and we boughr lots of tasty food including soup in bread, bratwurst and drinking gluwein.
We are now back at our hotel and will have a nice quiet relaxing evening.
Check out our youtube video to see our adventures.
Merry Christmas everyone.
