GM #nostr 🌅🤙☕

I woke up in a part of town where I grew up this morning because it was easier to crash in town than try to get back on the boat.

I just took a wander around the streets where I spent the first 16 years of my life...and the pollution...🤢🤮

I was walking past tightly packed cars, some idling as people dropped kids off, some waiting to be able to pass in the narrow streets...and the smell is awful 😞 It's hurting my lungs just being here.

It must have been worse when I was a kid, sure, there were slightly fewer cars, but they had less filters so spewed more crap and everyone used to have an indoor fire so the chimneys would be spewing acrid black smoke up and down every one of the terraced streets I used to roam.

Long story short, I'm going back to the boat later and I can't wait to breathe that clean fresh sea air.

I'm not the biggest fan of electric cars, but the city of my birth could certainly benefit from an increase in their use. It kinda goes hand in hand with the fact this is the most densely packed city in the UK, even above The City of London (distinct from London the wider area).

If you read this far, thank you for giving your time and letting me ramble 😆 I hope your day is exactly what you want and your coffee cup is always full ☕☕☕🤙
