I’m Sorry What?!
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. But…
Fuzzy and Indistinct
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 I…
Who They Are
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: Of course there are billions of people sitting between each of those points. Kindness and all that encompasses, anger and the destruction…
A Bridge
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 would…
I Wish
What makes you laugh? 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 where we live. That’s unheard…
Memory is Not That Good
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 to…
Not Most but Too Many
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 healthy…
Speaking as a Retired Person
How has technology changed your job? 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 what you were typing, you had to be that accurate. If the keys felt…
I Have No Goals
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? I used to have goals, then I lost the muse and the feeling of being compelled to write with it. It was a significant loss of the self. Through that I learned how important support and encouragement are, how vital being…
Not Interesting or Interested
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? Odd I know, but I’d more prefer to be the person I could have been were it not for a challenging past. I have always felt that there was an alter-ego inside me that was more who I actually am. Taking away all…
