  • Loons.

    I miss all old technology, the simplicity of it, when a switch was either on or off, none of this long press stuff, buttons that one can’t tell are on or off, and the prodding of screens until one’s fingers are numb. LOONS I miss the hard wired phone rooted in my houseI miss the… Read more

  • The World is in a State of Kiosk.

    I remember in my early working life, someone saying the phrase “The world is in a state of kiosk” Deliberately replacing the word chaos with kiosk. Funny how these things stay with you. KIOSK. There’s a kiosk for train tickets, a kiosk for the busA kiosk for car park attendants, football they can discussA kiosk… Read more

  • And That’s a Bad Thing

    I used to think as a teenager technology was a good thing, but I have become convinced it will destroy society, and most likely civilisation.

  • No Thank You.

    Christmas has just gone, and I am thinking, Christmas is a microcosm of what’s happened to the world, totally sold out ! Where is the kindness, where is the love ? Scattered and hidden in tiny enclaves around our once beautiful planet. Religion turned into a weapon, racism rife, misogyny rife, plutocracy rife, greed the… Read more

  • Bad Habit Two.

    This is an easy one, It’s now ! Having returned home from holiday to find our home broken into, then having to cope with technology which is foreign to me, both to deal with the police, then trying to organise an improved security system, I feel like an alien. The nature of the violation of… Read more

  • Sticking Plasteres.

    I guess, I’m going to have to pay more attention to security, although I consider it pretty good as it is. We came home from holiday yesterday to find our house broken into for the fourth time ! They managed somehow to climb onto the security shutter box on the first floor patio door, and… Read more
