What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

View all responses

Funny enough, when you have nothing , everything is taken away , you are stripped of the things that you thought important. What is left? Objects, do they matter and could you live without them? Sometimes you have no choice. In the past people have had no choice and have survived by adapting to circumstances or by fortuitous accident or coincidence.

A receptacle to hold water when you have flowing water all around you and without a receptacle you cannot have a drink. ( cupping your hands satisfies a need). You have wood to make a fire but no match, this is hard as suddenly the wood seems useless. Without a match, fire and warmth could you live without them? Perhaps there is a spark somewhere? Finally , nutrients, how would you sustain yourself , you don’t need plates and a knife and fork, but you look for food that you can eat again with your bare hands.

Objects are not what life is about, they do make life’s processes easier however.

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

View all responses

With all the space ships and satellites moving around Earth and attempting to get to other planets and the possibility of man made collisions and pollution. Fate or Destiny is unlikely, man is a driven creature who likes to decide things and very rarely thinks things through. Our efforts seem so poor in comparison to the World we continuously want to explore and use .

Nature on the other hand accepts things and devises work arounds, where necessary but on the whole is predictable. Nature accepts that things happen even it didn’t anticipate the event; and decides on a path that man may not comprehend. It may be necessary that all good things come to an end. Death and rebirth might be part of survival in the long run.

I see a pattern not a fate and I trust in Nature more than I trust in man made decisions or angst or the wish to predict or run the future. Or indeed blow it up with man made devices.

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

It is difficult not to be nostalgic , but where does it get you? Nowhere, so in truth I have nothing to say goodbye to , only lots of things to wonder at.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

View all responses

Well I can’t,so pointless question.

Nevertheless there’s those who will tempt small children into imagining that they can be Prince and Princesses. A dream or a nightmare perhaps, or is it just part of play time, a harmless pass time where the weird kid in the playground says she wants to be Einstein and everyone laughs. Who would want to be a funny old man with uncontrollable hair, did he discover or did he invent? Who cares? The kid who wants to be Buzz Lightyear, he’s cool. Everyone wants to play with him and most of the girls want to be Princess Leia

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

View all responses

Oh the plans I have, the solutions to everyday domestic inconveniences. The perfect kitchen,living room bathroom and bedroom. They never work out. Why?

I’m not really sure, lack of planning or lack of money, the interest is there but perhaps I’m a DIY failure. I’m good at demolishing and not good at building, so perhaps I’ve learnt best not to start a project.

I’ve recently noted that the overhead lights in the kitchen are useless when you are trying to chop up vegetables in the kitchen after dark. They point in the wrong direction even though they are adjustable. I have my back to the light and basically my head casts a shadow on where I’m trying to cut neat little cubes of vegetables. It’s very frustrating, particularly when I move to the left and the light shines on my not so neatly cut vegetables.

Still I always say to myself ” there’s more important things in life”. I suppose there are, but at that particular moment of not being able to see what I’m doing, I really am apoplectic and it seems that the World is so unfair.

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

View all responses

Unfortunately I’m the type of person who would ban something because I don’t like it. So I’ll never make things better by banning.

If I could cure verbal diarrhea I would . People talking for the sake of talking and continuing to talk because they can’t stop themselves and have probably lost the track of their argument and don’t want to lose face. We’ve all been there, perhaps there is a cure. Silence.

What bores you?

View all responses

That isn’t as scary as it seems, when I say target, I don’t mean in a malicious way or dangerous way.

I mean in a “I know what is best for you ” sort of way. Everything( and perhaps everyone; if we’re really unlucky) in our lives is geared towards making you a better person. When did we start having to achieve something every minute of the day, not waste time, build a life , build a business and make our mark on the World?

I blame the Victorians and Social Media, the Victorians started it with a fervor for religious enlightenment and a moral justification for doing the “right thing” no matter how ridiculous. I mean how wrong they were on many of their ideas, putting women on a pedestal and then leaving them to rot in hovels , unloved and uncared for should their morals not fit the ideal.

Fast forward to Social Media and we have endless adverts and influencers on how to improve your life, learn Tai Chi, firm up your tummy muscles, improve your IQ and basically be the best you can be.

There are more” lecturers” than listeners and they are boring, because they go on and on. Sometimes thankfully with Social Media you can turn them off, but in “Education” you have to listen to them , even if they aren’t very good and there’s the rub, you don’t want to bore the young.

In summary, what bores me( and the young) is someone who thinks they know what’s best for me without bothering to understand me or my needs at all.
