    ‘Anyway! I do digress (as always!). Why do I get so carried away? I do not know.’

 

    Alfred had promised Mrs Muggins faithfully that he would try to keep his opinions regarding warmongers and unnecessary wars, and brutality by uncaring government systems and badly brought up soldiers, to himself on this holiday on this holiday (Which was in fact dangerously close to the current battlefields of WWIII. You only had to cross to the other side of Turkey and cross the Black Sea (which had become increasingly Black (or should I say Red?) in recent times, with the many /countless missile strikes onto people’s apartments, hospitals, schools, and even public halls sheltering civilians and children, from Vlad’s very own toyship Black Sea Fleet!) to get to Crimea and the rest of Ukraine!)

 

    Anyway, as I was saying, Alfred promised his wife that he would not publish his thoughts too openly in conversation while on holiday in Turkey. They might, for example, be rubbing shoulders with Russian tourists potentially in the south or southwest of Turkey, and Mrs Muggins didn’t want any of them upsetting, or reporting back to the Kremlin on his uncontrollable thoughts, and getting them potentially into trouble, in a country, which while a member of the Nazi organization NATO (according to Professor Putin and his front bench of Liar Lavrovs and their many thought clones on the Russian Troll ridden internet!) also liked to consider itself fairly neutral and as a likely mediator in the ‘minor’ conflict or ‘special operation’ between Russia and Ukraine, in which apparently Ukraine and NATO were deemed to be the aggressor by Putinpot and Lavrov the proper gander!

 

     Mrs Muggins reminded Alfred to keep to his erstwhile promise, so without further ado Alfred promised to get back to writing about the holiday and not constantly changing the subject to talk about Russia and Ukraine all the time. At least he had mentioned Turkey, where they were now!

 

     Dutifully he returned to the subject in hand – the holiday…

 

PS (Black Sea = Putin’s Bathtub!)

     (Ukraine = Putin’s Artillery Range!)

Alfred wrote this on full day 1 of his holiday, quite unable to fully concentrate or write about his holiday yet, perhaps partly because they hadn't had much of it yet, but mainly because of Putinpot's extremely distracting invasion of Ukraine, which was still going on, despite most of the free, and thinking world's condemnation of the Warlord's medieval attempt to conquer a free and democratic nation very much against the expressed wishes of its inhabitants! Mrs Muggins may have to use other methods from restraining our literary hero from fighting too openly his own literary war of condemnation, belittlement and comparison against the Dictator/Aggressor!

He assures me, and us, and more importantly his wife, that Part 3 will contain a bit more about the specifics and build up to his holiday in Turkey, and less about the Dark Clouds in the North!

I'm sure Professor Puitin will keep Mr Muggins busy, even if he is in hollday.

Thanks for your astute comment Celticman. Professor Puitin certainly has continued to keep Mr Muggins busy, even on his holiday, although not totally (meaning he did actually get round to writing some pieces and thoughts about the holiday!)! There is more in the pipeline! (not gas of course, unless you think of Alfred's writing as a type of gas??)

Lavrov the proper gander. Well, yes. Alfred Muggins is a passionate man and all just comes spilling out. Good luck to Mrs Muggins keeping him quiet!

Actually Alfred can be quite a shy retiring person, particularly when he is busy writing and /or visiting other times and worlds, although when he is pushed to it, as in his visits to the time of Henry VIII he can rise to the occasion. I think he is actually rather scared of Putinpot and his thuggish politics, so he has become very wary of Russians, even though he knows that many of them must be quite civilised, because of the lovely music, and probably literature too, which they have created!
