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”

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 beingContinueContinue reading “I Have No Goals”

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 allContinueContinue reading “Not Interesting or Interested”
