Thursday 31st Jan


I spent this morning in the library (IT Support Volunteer), and never cease to be amazed at the amount of people who don’t know where to find the print functionality on a computer, running Windows software. I’ve taken to telling them to use CTRL + P, the ubiquitous shortcut, but seeing some people’s reactions to it you’d think it was magic. There were French Fancies out when I went for a cuppa, they brought back childhood memories. Along with Battenburg they were the luxury cakes of my youth. I still love Battenburg to this day but don’t often buy it, probably so it can still remain a luxury in my mind.

Popped in to see the folks on the way home, it’s amazing how they either seem to be on a holiday or are planning one. Still you’ve got to figure they deserve to make the most of what they have, while they can. Health can be a dodgy thing as you get on in life, so they need to get on to get the inheritance spent.

I was planning to get the cleaning and ironing done this afternoon, but no sooner had I walked through the door than school called to say our youngest wasn’t feeling well and could I come and get them. Now I remember the benefit of being at home, I can look after sick children. By the time we were home and the child was in pyjamas, on the sofa, under their duvet, in front of the TV, the cleaning was going to be a rush job. So being a caring parent I made a cuppa and sat down to watch a dvd of England’s Greatest Cricket matches with them. What a lovely way to enjoy some quality time with your child. Now I really do remember the benefit of being at home!
