    Hi everyone…

    Internet problems! It’s fine until it breaks down. I’m standing right next to the plastic box with router written on it. All lights on, but no one is home… so to speak.

    Ask anyone, blank stares..

    Today I am looking at returning to the world of work. I may have to work until I am 80! I can try!

    There are a few things I am very good at. Now my burnout is easing, I would like to return to daycare work. I have relevant training and experience. It would actually be fun and good for my outlook on life.

    Writing is a good creative outlet. No one needs to buy it, it is for me… I am looking at having a go at comedy. It is not as easy as it may seem, just look at some of the programmes on TV, where a character says something, then the awkward silence until the studio manger signals the audience to just laugh.  There often isn’t an audience there anyway, just someone pushing a button repeatedly giving a sort of laughter sound.

    In years gone by, the skill was the character deftly getting the words around the pulses of reaction from a genuine audience, sometimes even waiting until the audience themselves went quiet for long enough for the inevitable punch line to be said.

    I guess that many publishers lament the fact that they went into the business to publish quality work, only to find that, the stuff that sells is basically very poorly written, but just happens to have a showbiz name on the front cover…

    You cannot tell people what to buy, and that fact shows up in all shopping trends.

    So… music….

    Good old youtube.

    The song I am learning,  is ‘The impossible dream’

    A friend is someone who will support you unconditionally. I am not talking about money here, just human support, loyalty if you wish.

    Do you have any friends like that?

    count on one hand.   Most people we regard as friends want something in return… Often more than we are able to give, and yet it is us seeking the help!

    How many people do you know who are ‘There to be seen’.

    Are they where you really wouldn’t expect such people to be?

    Okay… let’s carry on with the smile grabbing this week…

    I will try going out on my mountain bike this week. I ride on the pavement, cos the roads are falling apart, quite literally! And when there is no suspension on the bike…

    Until next week then 9/8/2024, about the same time 18.00 hrs uk time.

    Right here.
