Tuesday. It's alright for people who have work to do. They get up on the morning, get dressed and go out to be useful. I get up, get dressed, walk the dog, put toast in the air fryer, empty the dishwasher, (note the order, the toast needs more than 10 minutes so I do tasks while it's cooking) and the make the big decision about what to have with the toast while I read newspapers on the tablet. Oh and I do wordle and connections ready to share with friends (I'm stuck today, on go 6. know it ends in EL has another E and not the letters STARCUDLIBVOWJ)
It'll come to me in a minute. ExxEL would be Excel but C not possible) Steel, no st. WHeel, I'll try that. It's not that, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, only the 7th time I've failed in 753 days. It's your fault.
Then I have the day to fill. While we were looking forward to Christmas we were focussed on redeorating the house to make it good fo visitors. Now there's no focus. Well today we are going to Bristol to look after Bobbi this afternoon. I still belong to things but in a v minor capacity always. I help with Wessex Community Energy (I started that with Pete West) which has about 70 members and meets every 3 months. I am a governor at the school but have done nothing special since I rejoined. I'm a member, and I'm a director of Malmesbury River Valleys trust (which i started)and Wiltshire Wildlife Community Energy. I was chair of that for about 5 years and did a huge amount of work for it including sacking the organisation chaired by Ed Davey and finding a better alternative to do our management. And I'm on a SW outpatients NHS panel which I think is a huge waste of NHS resources and my only function there is to try to point that out carefully.
But those minor roles take only about a day a week, the rest of the time is spent shoppig for essentials like butter or bread, walking the dog, doing puzzles, listening to podcasts ad watching tv. I should be talking to my family and friends, maybe this is a way of doing that- though no one reads it. Anyway I need to leatn better how to make this interesting, incorporate older blogs. AND
I bought myself a new Widows 11 computer with Xbox capacity and a big screen. I need to learn that too-- and I hoped that Reuben would be glad to celebrate using it but since he decided not to visit last weekeed I'm worried that his grandparents are no longer relevant, even with an Xbox. I grow old I grow old, what's that a quote from?
