Busy morning at the library, which is good to see; the more people using libraries the better. A couple of my regulars come in for help. One a very nice chap who I set up an email account for about a month ago but is still struggling to access it, and if we’re honest doesn’t really know what he is going to use it for but just thinks that he should have one. This raises an interesting question of whether your life has been improved by email or not. At work you might think it has, but has it really? It just encourages more people to send more information to more people. It draws you in when you’re away from the office; just to check, just in case. I can’t be convinced it has improved peoples quality of life. A bit like the internet, if you didn’t have it at home, you’d have to go out to the shops to buy things, causing you to engage in social interaction, causing high streets to be busy, and shops open, boosting the local economy. Would that be such a bad thing? I know there are some good points to it but don't get me started.
Stop at the folks on the way back up the road for a cuppa and a chat, and then its home for yesterday’s leftover chilli reheated for lunch. I do at times seem to be a food waste disposal unit for the leftovers. Back to the painting in the afternoon, then its early tea’s for the teenagers who have shows and cricket to go to. Do a quick run as jay-le-taxi then I’m back on the painting. Mrs P and I find ourselves home alone mid-evening and settle down to our books, like a proper old married couple, but it’s not long before jay-le-taxi is required again, though on the plus side the eldest gets a lift home so I avoid the late shift. The plasterer (see Monday 11th) calls to say he’ll be with me at eight in the morning, so the signs are still encouraging.
Yours slowly getting there
Jay
