It seems that a massive iceberg which at 1500 square miles is over twice the size of Greater London and is at 1016 feet as tall as the Shard, has broken off the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in Antarctica and is heading for the British island of South Georgia.
Apparently, this enormous lump of ice named A23a broke off nearly forty years ago in 1986 and immediately became stuck on the floor of the Weddell Sea, however it freed itself in 2003 and has been roaming the ocean ever since and whilst it is presently in a meander and not heading directly for the island should it follow the current it is potentially on course to collide with South Georgia.
Experts fear A23a could break into segments which should they remain around South Georgia for years could seriously impede access to the feeding grounds for the seals and penguins that breed on the island.
Whilst climate change has been blamed for this and obviously, this would be tragic for the wildlife of the area but one has to think that some people are never happy, for surely there is good to come from this story if you look hard enough.
Looking on the bright side, since 2020 the ice shelves have lost some six trillion tons of ice and are now joined by this massive piece which is larger than Suffolk on the surface and if I’m correct there is another 90% below the water and all of this freezing ice can join the ocean and help to stop the rising sea temperatures. That should keep the climate change wallah’s happy for a while!
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

“That should keep the climate change wallah’s happy for a while!” Fat chance.
Sad but true!
