A bright, cold morning. Stuff waits to be addressed.
After 2 hours, the inbox is down to 79.
23.11 DGM HQ.
Arriving via London to our landlord, butcher & proprietor of the village store, still working at 22.45. This is the life of the village store, an endangered species. Dependent upon a Post Office counter for survival, the UK government’s implicit policy is to close village POs as uneconomic. The amount of paperwork, stuff & regulations from Brussels, proliferates. As an adjoining small business, I can testify to the pressing & oppressive weight of stuff-stuff. A village without a store is not quite a village.
Current outside temperature is –4.5 C.
In London: visiting a gallery opening for Carol McNicol. The tube from Chiswick to the Barbican took 75 minutes tube there & 90 minutes for the return back – there were Piccadilly line delays in both directions. I have used public transport in London for 2 days running. Life for ordinary people, those who are dependent upon public services, is hard.
