I don’t mean to exclude other people and it’s very tough if you don’t have family. To be honest just my family being there is enough. I know they’ve got my back. If you haven’t got family then look to build a family with other people without family.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Ten Years doesn’t seem that long,
Who knows what can go wrong?
Lose my house, my car , my life,
Will war and misery still be rife,
Weird is as weird can be,
Perhaps I’ll still be sitting on this settee.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Everyday things are everyday things. Except nothing is everyday is it? For some, washing their socks is exceptional. You cannot bottle happiness. Some days it would fill five pint milk bottles other days, well it’s dry and that is just that.

Learning became valuable, there are certain teachers that had a constant influence. They were interested in their subject and wanted to pass on their knowledge. Also learning became an escape or indeed an escape route. Either way I learned to respect knowledge but not be overawed by it. Life is not a brain game, though it can be a brain drain.

Perhaps I should get a tee shirt with “One is not a solution” printed on it. Instead I’m replying to a dull uninterested computer automated prompt which has the advantage that it makes me use WordPress every day. We have a symbiotic relationship. “One is not a solution” and you can take whatever you like from that, I on the other hand have a good idea for a teeshirt.

Dracula it is, and a passionate answer to the prompt. I salivate about that book and it never disappoints. Forget the remakes, the television series and the Christopher Lee and arty German Cinema creations. It’s the book that outdoes them all.
Given that anything by Victor Hugo in any format is also a salivating reading prospect.

Nothing wrong with a bit of playacting or creativity except when it takes over from the practicalities of real life.
There’s no one else I’d rather be as there is only one of me.

There are many frustrated ” pet owners” out there. There are many environmentalists and ecologists who puzzle about how best to look after “Nature”. We don’t always understand “Nature ” or ” Life ” as I like to call it, but it is to be respected and nurtured. Not used or taken for granted.
“Nature” is a hard taskmaster and sometimes it will be the “fittest” who survive.
Humans however should have no role in determining this as it’s blatantly clear we do not wholly understand our Universe, and we should leave the cruelty of fate to a World that we neither can control or fully understand.
Perhaps this is not the answer to “owning a pet” that you expected, but it is the truth, you should be in awe that you have been chosen to nurture and care for a life. It is challenging and rewarding and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
