I’m at the library this morning but I take the car as I
have some errands to run afterwards. It’s a quiet morning, punctuated only by a
visit from the folks. The ailing one has driven this morning, exactly six weeks
after his operation, and bang on schedule, something he’s been looking forward
to. All bar one of the librarians are women and the one chap isn’t in today.
What I have noticed, having previously worked in a male dominated area, is that
women are much more emotional at work, and are all aware of each other’s
problems. One lady is very upset this morning which is quite strange to see in
a work environment for me. Blokes normally keep things bottled up; women seem
to like to share. It’s possible the girls way is more healthy in the long run,
but I’m not sure that I prefer it.
The eldest got her days work off the one teacher
(singular) who was in and brought it home, so I return to find sandwiches and a
cup of tea waiting for me. The fact that she wants a lift to her friends has
nothing to do with it. After a sociable lunch I start the housework only to be
told that it was jay-le-taxi time and so out we go. After dropping off the
eldest I return to the housework, only to get a text asking me to pick up the
youngest at the station, so out goes jay-le-taxi again. I eventually get the
housework finished and move on to making tea. I do risotto which is actually
the most advanced my cooking gets, but at least I enjoy cooking it. After
tidying up I’m just settling down to watch a bit of telly when the eldest texts
and its jay-le-taxi time again, but at least she’s not far away.
Yours jay-le-taxi keeping busy
Jay
