Only do shopping lists, and they are not fun, they are tedious and the effort of shopping is monotonous. Apologies it was raining all day yesterday and I’ve got the dishes to do.

Ha, Ha answered this before and this is one I remember. Herradine. Only one thing has changed I’d quite like also to be known as the Italian for Garden, giardino!

I’ve got news for you, work and making others work is passe.

We should enjoy what we do, no one has the right to make anyone’s life a misery.

I’ve worked all my life and now I realise I was a cog in someone else’s wheel doing what needed to be done to earn an income. Most of it useless.

You know the worst thing though, who made my life most miserable were my peer group of fellow workers. It was them who introduced pointless competition and wanted to impress middle management with petty trophies , while middle management in turn wanted to impress senior management.

It wasn’t about doing the job , it was about making an impression.

And now, well all that’s behind me. So I can laugh at it and really I am pleased I kept my sanity.

Funny I was talking to the taxman yesterday as the final closure on my “working life” and he said when will you get your next payslip? I said I don’t get payslips I’m retired. My only source of income is my pension. It struck me , his assumption was that people would work forever. I suppose that’s what tax people believe.

Perhaps there is a lesson there too.

Diversity as there are so many of them.

I could pick that sock up off the floor

But finding it’s pair would be such a bore

I could tidy all my fluffy sweaters

Just to prove my worth to all my betters

I could wash the dishes in the kitchen sink

That would make him indoors think

Those letters that have remained unopened

They might not be bills but a regular stipend

I don’t know where I put those cloths I bought

But to dust is something I really ought

And then there’s the garden

And the birds need feeding

Oh hell what’s that noise I hear

Think it’s bin day I fear

Another job that came to nought

The paper and plastic I forgot to sort.

Oh yet another cluttered filled day

Well words now fail me, I’ve nothing left to say.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What is your favourite animal?

My favourite animal is one that can thrive

One given permission to stay alive

That lives it’s time the way it wants

Without the threat of human taunts

That breathes fresh air and snuffles through bushes

Slides through water and lurks in rushes

Runs overland at great speed

Is opportunistic in order to feed

My favourite animals are all alive

They are so much more than the Big Game Five
