We have a beagle who leaps the fence and tracks down and mauls the neighbourhood sheep.
The fines for this rise to eventually A$60,000.
Well, if you don't want beagles, don't have children.But being in the house alone is hard, hey?
I understand that being alone in the house is lonely, especially in our lonely society.
But spooky as well?
I dunno......when I feel really bad, I curl up with a history book on the causes of WWI........it is the dangerous nature of the choices, the sheer impossibility of getting it right and navigating through the hazards without disaster, and the terrible result of it all........ that I find profoundly relaxing.So, what if this is as good as it gets?
You know better than most about aging, and how it can end up.
There's hope that things can get better, and then again, there's finding good stuff amongst the wreckage of our lives.
Gratitude is a state of grace........and I'm sure you are grateful for the friends you have made here, as I am.Someone said of me 'he does try to opine so much', which is true, but we're all different, with the particular things that make us so.
We don't appreciate these things enough, perhaps.love, Declan
