When I buy a phone I claim that I don't need all the extras I just need a phone but then I look on YouTube to watch music videos to pass the time waiting for taxis or in the dentists waiting room.
I've just started about a year ago on Facebook, which I claim is helpful to not miss local music gigs and stuff.It is good for that but then I start scrolling sending messages to people I'm actually likely to see in real life a couple of days later
I enjoyed the poem and am pleased you go around with notebook and pencil
Thanks Anjie. I appreciate your comment. Next time you are waiting for a taxi or in the dentist's waiting room, why not try just concentrating on what you can see (and hear etc) around you? You might get a poem out of it :)
"My Learned Friend" thanks for that Mike. I have to agree with the sentiments of this piece, however
you forgot to mention the agony of climbing up the stairs to bed every night, I am now of an age where a downstairs bedroom and of course bathroom would be a god send (if of course you were a believer ) which I am not. but you know what I mean.
I gan generally manage the stairs Frank, its the effort of getting up off the couch to prepare for them that is the big obstacle for me. Once I'm on my feet I can generally haul myself upstairs with the bannister.
I could do with one of those Shackleton's high seat chairs that he used when climbing Everest with Sir Hillary Edmunds and Warren Oates.
