Nicky’s mum woke up one morning recently and discovered that the has lost all sight in one eye. She in not a young woman and has been sick but this was still quite a surprise to everyone involved.
And her sight in not coming back according to the doctors.
But she seems to be taking it very well, better than I think I would. She says that getting upset won’t change it back.
Lesson for the day - hard times often bring out the best in people.
A small brown and white pusscat came and sat between the computer and my face and decided that she wanted to be patted and generally made a fuss of. Which seems pretty reasonable so I did for a little while at least.
But then I decided to stop and she decided I shouldn’t but we agreed fairly quickly that she should perhaps just go spend some time in her basket.
Lesson for the day - pusscats are quite gentle in their affections.
Dear Bert,
There are those within our ranks who have spoken out on the issue of women taking an active role but I think thay our Margaret is well on the way to proving herself.
It seems she eluded capture, collected our cargo and headed off alone north on horseback.
I hope to catch up with her, as no doubt she intended, as this train arrives at her destination in only a few small hours.
I know we call it the brotherhood but some of our women just perform so well that I for one have no regrets that we let them be involved.
pip pip

Well after a couple of weeks of discussion and work the pop idol store is now open.
It’s not perfect but hopefully it will do the job ok.
Lesson for the day - if you sell something you are doing well.
My little world is changing in little and big ways. The big ways are obvious so I’ll spend a minute on a little one.
My blog world is slowing down. The people I read have big thing happening, real world things happening, and that doesn’t add much to their blogging routine. The quality is still there but the quantity takes a real hit.
And it’s not a big issue but it does mean that a feel a little less connected to a bunch of people. And it will will swing back as things do. But for now it’s kind of slow and I kind of wish it wasn’t.
Lesson for the day - even when it’s all about other people it’s really all about me.
I really just logged on the check email for the pop idol shop development.
I thought I might see what else there is to read while I was here. Absolutely nothing it would seem.
Lesson for the day - it seems the million monkeys do not have a million stories.
We have a cordless phone much like everyone else in the Western world. It is even one of the more swish digital ones.
Having said that it was just a bit flaky, sometimes it would just forget about the base-station and often it would be cutting in and out.
So we have gone back to a corded phone, a little less sexy but you can have a conversation on it.
Lesson for the day - sometimes you like to make a connection.
Out of idle curiosity I looked at mp3.com.au to see how my songs were doing. I don’t expect much but I still wonder.
I am 15 in Folk which is nothing to complain about when you sound like I do. Folk to Country Music gets about 60 listens a months but doesn’t chart at all. Because it is more than 60 days old. This is fair enough I suppose, they want to encourage new material and soon enough I will have some.
Lesson for the day - you can’t expect to be rewarded for what you don’t do.
Seek sends me heaps of stuff including this job in funerals.
Aside from the fact that it will be a little while yet until I go back to work and am planning to study I did spend several seconds thinking it might be something I could do.
Lesson for the day - you never know what you have never considered.
The last in our current batch of $2 rentals.
It started well with obvious references to Pulp Fiction and some clever dialogue. And the end was not bad.
The middle dragged a bit.
Lesson for the day - it can be hard to be interesting for 107 minutes, I can’t manage it for 10.7.
