Hi everyone. The car thing has turned out okay so far. I’m writing again… Trying to make use of my journey so far. Yesterday I ate some buttered hot cross buns. I forgot how sticky they make my fingers when operating my computer! Normally, I just lick them clean, and wipe my fingers dry on my clothing(!). The way a child does… It all dries in air… As far as I know this doesn’t harm anyone… I went to a barista yesterday. Sat at a table with my partner who is in a wheelchair. I used the gel, because it was there, unlike lot of other shops etc. At the mo. I picked up a couple of sausage rolls, and paid for the drinks, using my credit card. What was on my card? I don’t know, but after I’d paid, I sat down and ate. No ill-effects so far, and that was yesterday… As per previous times, I reckon it will all turn out fine. No one is gonna succeed in suing me. Any more than I would succeed in suing anyone else. I wouldn’t want that kind of reputation… If I ever succeeded in suing a doctor, how would I get another to treat me? One of my greatest fears would be having to give someone CPR. I could maybe save their life, but if I inadvertently damaged their ribcage, whilst doing so? They could sue me for damages, and they would very likely win… So I stand back, wait for the ambulance people to arrive. That makes me a negligent person… So, whatever I do, will be percieved as wrong… ‘Damned if I do, damned if I don’t’, because of how society is…
It’s not easy, is it?
God bless you for reading…
