Can anyone explain why when the energy companies are making vast profits, the price of energy is going through the roof?
And can somebody tell me why the Government is doing bugger all about it whist they watch two candidates preening to get votes to become the next Prime Minister whilst the current Prime Minister goes off to Ukraine where, it has to be said, he's a lot more popular than he is here?
That's whinge number one. Actually that's the only whinge although I would like to talk about Liverpool.
As you know, Liverpool is my favourite city in the UK because of its history and heritage. But I have been deeply saddened by the shooting and murder of the innocent nine-year-old girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time as rival gangs squared up to each other.
And there for me hangs a problem. Outwardly the veneer of Liverpool is one of friendship, regeneration and a wonderful place to be. It's a city with a huge heart but there's still an underbelly of violence and murder that has to be rooted out.
I guess my love of various places is a lot to do with their history. My second favourite city in the UK is probably Belfast. And they don't come much more historically interesting or violent come to that than that.
A bit closer to home there are three major news items at the moment.
Firstly just over a week after the work started, the old out of date and unfit for purpose pavilion on Hethersett Memorial Playing Field is no more. It has been pulled down and now services can be put in ahead of building the new super duper pavilion.
A friend of mine who has been closely involved with planning the building of the new pavilion openly told me "I didn't think I would live to see it built."
So there's plenty of jubilation there and quite rightly so. Let's hope the yobs who have vandalised certain areas of the park keep their nasty little mitts off the new building (sorry I'm feeling a bit revolutionary and angry today).
Second interesting story is the plans to turn the old church hall in Henstead Road into a mosque for the Muslim community. I am hoping to meet with them in the next few days to hear about their plans for community involvement. I have been asked to do pieces on both of these for the local Media.
We also have a European champion living in the village and I will bring you news of that once I've found out all about it.
Today it's off for the final league game of the cricket season. Hethersett and Tas Valley have had a remarkable year. It's also been a remarkable season in that not a single game of the 18 was lost to bad weather. I cannot remember this ever happening before.
I will be there to take a photograph of the team before the game. This will be put up in the clubroom along with successful teams of the past.
It's been a remarkable rise for the club from non league to the top division of Norfolk cricket in 20 years. I am particularly thinking about two former vice-presidents who died this year. Duncan Pigg and Harold Kerslake would both be very proud of the club's achievement.

Christmas is just around the corner. I know this because my local had a sign outside stating: "Christmas menus now available." It is only another 114 days to Christmas Day if my maths are correct.

Finally today a big mention for our wonderful people who organise the monthly village screen films. Their season kicks off on the first Sunday of September (Sept 4th) with the spy drama The Courier.
There's a photo of the Autumn season programme with this blog. If you live in or close to Hethersett do give these film afternoons a look. It's a really good social occasion and I wouldn't miss them for anything (unless I'm away of course).
They take place in Hethersett Village Hall from 3 pm, although it's always worth getting there early to have a coffee and biscuit before the films start. I say films because there is usually a feature from the East Anglian film archive which always tickles the taste buds and jogs the memory of bygone days.
