It seems to be the squalling season at the moment. Warm temperatures quickly changing when a wind gust arrives and the clouds begin to gather. Actually no problem. it makes life interesting. All that hot weather can get a little boring. I quite enjoy it during the night, no longer a boring silence: obects falling, making noise, and in the morning curiosity no longer when we see what has happened during the night. I like to hear the rain falling. Probably because I am tucked up in my comfortable bed and do not have to brave the storm.
The sky was not ripping me off, just showing would might happen or perhaps not.
At the moment someone unknown is trying to rip me off regularly every morning around 11.30 a.m. That is when my iphone rings. I used to take the call and say my name as usual, However, I no longer do this. If I do not recognise the number that is calling then a simple “Hello” is sufficient. Before the idiot on the phone begins with his “sh*t I hang up. The number usually has a Swiss phone prefix, 0041, but increasingly the number has 0044 as a prefix, the english dialing code, but I no longer fall for this trick as it seems the call centers with their corrupt advertising schemes are now using the 0044 prefix. If I take the call they speak German, and German german, no Swiss German – all a scam. They want to capture me for one of their advertising scams, but this lady is not interested. Basically anything that costs money is something I refuse and I really do not have time or patience for such crooks. This is an increasing form of scam. I sometimes wonder who these guys are and do they really have to earn their money with such ridiculous idiocy. This is more than a rip-off, although I have no suitable insulting word in my vocabulary that would be permitted here.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
