Bredonborough.

Rising at 06.55 to a grey day. WillyFred was immediately into action, a white flash of joy & playfulness, running in circles around me. In this way, Wilf was establishing his dominance. Of this I was already well aware.

A call from the Minx, in London with Dancing For Comic Relief. The appalling slow bitrate of BT Broadband – which is not to do with them, they tell us, it is within the house, so why does Bredonborough Computers suffer the same problem? – makes it close to impossible to view last Saturday’s show on BBCiPlayer. It also makes this morning’s e-activity pitifully slow.

A call to Jakko, and a suggestion & comment or two.

Morning reading…

… and into The Writing Project.

11.23 This from July 15th. 1994…

We have perhaps noticed that the world with which we are familiar is collapsing.

The abrogation of responsibility, by those in positions of power towards those who are dependent upon them, would seem to be a leitmotif in our recent history: political, personal, professional and moral violation is endemic in contemporary culture.

The new world is struggling to be born whilst carrying passive repercussions of the past and facing active opposition from the old.

The future is in place, and waiting, but we have yet to discover it.

12.24    A call to BT on the almost inoperable speed of the broadband. It is not their fault: this is the good news. The fault is mine, they claim. This is the bad news.

There are some who refuse to be seen in company with any who use this shopping-assistor. It is very useful for heavy soy drinks from the health shop, a pile of tasty vegetables from Ken Greengrocer including WillyFred delights, and many other weighty acquisitions for the household. Those who continue to scorn hats, scarves & gloves as accessories will, no doubt, also hoot at such as the above shopper. What do I care of this? I don my cap, scarf & gloves, seize the wheelie (with special wheels to mount pavements & steps) and hurtle down the High Street, leg snapping like whipcords to the amazement of many.

19.51    An afternoon of organizing & useful stuff, very satisfying, but it would be useful if I could get online as well.

Now, to an evening practising.

And playing with WillyFred, no doubt.
