DAILY DIARY OF FIONA CUMMINGS AND MORE


On the half eight bus today. Earliest I have been to town. Looking at selling the house and moving area. So lot’s to think about. The town was so quiet, well, of people. So much traffic unbelievable the noise. Really deafening and when you need your hearing so much, it was hard, but not half as difficult as when people are bouncing off you. Spoke with some lovely people today to do with business and so on. Hub home today so we glided through our sunny dusty town, like a cowboy on horseback in a sandy scene from a 1950’s movie….

Well, OK, not quite, Hub onto Long Chops, me with Michael, my white cane. I only crashed him once and it was a stylish one. Wrapped around a metal spikey fence. He choked and after I brought him back to life, spared my blushes, blaming the heat, on we went.

Did what we needed to do, and back for the bus home. LC thought she had been robbed. She indicated our normal three shops, but Hub said no, not today and she huffed and puffed as she loves working and to come home too soon wasn’t good for her. We were back for quarter to ten, Hub straight into work and will be working till tonight, then packing for tomorrow. He is off on business. Two days in the south.

 

Tomorrow, teen off to the mad house. He will spend three days there. Thank God I am away from that life of hellish idiots. At least roughing it, mixing with dimwits, will show him all sorts of life, for experience for his own, life.

 

He has had a good summer though; first saw the sights of Norway, then weeks with friends who played all kinds of sports with him and the odd illegal night club thrown in. The weather has been kind for our kids this year, normally children’s summer holidays are full of rainy days. It’s another hot one today.

 

Tomorrow Arty will walk two of my dogs. I hope it stays fine for then?

 

Last night Hub and I lit a candle for the 100 years since world war one! Not because we agreed with war but to remember the poor people who had no choice but to die and for their families left behind with dread, fear and the worst worries!

 

There has always been war, and yesterday I was disgusted as Teen Hub and I watched a greedy stupid individual from the US, who has developed a game / head set that you look through and hear a child singing in Sierra Leone, then an explosion can be heard and all hell kicks off. The maker of the game said/bosted she put her own money into the project to make it. Oh wow? Are we really meant to be impressed? Would the money not be better off spent on helping people to be fed or receive fresh water? Or medical care? Or counselling? Or give time to the people who are innocent in this heavy heated hell they find themselves born into. To make money from others disasters is a crime in itself!

 

OK a glass of water time to take a breath. Before my last lesson with my Polish student. She has come on amazingly well with her English studies and has been a pleasure to work with,       

 

Take care Bloggets, won’t you. Xx
