What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? We dip in and out. We enjoy it if we do watch it, but that’s about it. Not a question that I care about really. So… How to be interesting? When you think how long the Olympics has been going, since Ancient Greece, and the millionsContinueContinue reading “Nothing Specific”

How would you improve your community? Nothing like our town I live in a mainly bright town with many boringly similar but nice houses. There is a great deal of work locally. It’s mainly dual carriageways which until recently were in good order. We have an indoor shopping centre which is not full of emptyContinueContinue reading “Move”

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? I’d need binoculars to see the time of Covid-19 now. I’ve experienced no real changes. Yes pubs and shops have closed, people use fast food delivery services rather than eating out, and socialising has dropped in many areas due to cost. ButContinueContinue reading “I’m Sorry What?!”

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? I have no morning rituals. The only mornings I do are midnight to 1 am. My energy kicks in at 4 pm. I guess the first hour is the same as anyone else who’s retired, book and coffee. When IContinueContinue reading “Fuzzy and Indistinct”

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique? Every individual is individual, and there the similarities divide. It seems to me that basically there are three types of people in this world: Those with the strength to be kind. Those who pride themselves on anger and violence. Those who don’t think about others, animals,ContinueContinue reading “Who They Are”

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? I know I’ve answered this question before in the same way, but at a time in history like this it’s worth repeating. Do you realise what a relatively small number of people there are creating this turmoil? How many there are that wouldContinueContinue reading “A Bridge”

What makes you laugh? This is the ultimate I can’t remember the last time I had a good laugh, my life has been very isolated in the last ten years. I’m alone for 10-12 hours a day most days, it has been worse but it’s better now. For some reason I’ve made no friends whereContinueContinue reading “I Wish”

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I love elephants but I don’t have a memory like one. That’s 63 years ago. I very much doubt I even thought about it. I certainly wouldn’t have been knowledgeable enough to know that happy was the most important thing toContinueContinue reading “Memory is Not That Good”

What’s something most people don’t understand? I don’t know how many supporters of evil there are in this world – evil being war and all crimes against the person especially when committed by those in power – but I have to believe that more people just want to get on with their day. Be healthyContinueContinue reading “Not Most but Too Many”

How has technology changed your job? This typewriter is way more modern than the first one I used 🤣 I started on the old sit-up-and-beg typewriter you will have seen in the films of the 40’s and 50’s. Then I moved on to the telex machine, starting with the T9 which didn’t show you whatContinueContinue reading “Speaking as a Retired Person”
