The Pointless Page

We've got up to a rather grey and overcast morning. A contrast to yesterdays sunny weather. We're having muesli for breakfast this morning. Back to work this evening, now that the awning is all done, we're settled in for another possible 21 nights on our seasonal pitch.

When are you hoping to return to work Malcolm? 

 Friday the 13th !! ,,,pointless ,,,I'm not superstitious .

Well said Trikes, neither am I(touch wood)

I'm working this evening 5.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.

Sorry to hear about your friend Brue.

We were walking through the village after calling in at the shop and noticed a bungalow up for sale. We asked their neighbour, someone we know, as to where Norman was moving to and we were told that he had died quite suddenly 2 weeks ago, buried within 4 days and the house (he lived on his own) put up for sale 2 days later!

Just reinforces the belief that one should do as much as one can whilst one can and don't keep putting off enjoying life until later. It's also for now.

We raised a glass to him at lunchtime whilst eating out at a new venue for us, and enjoying it.

Wherenext you are so right about enjoying the now and doing it while you can. In this case it all seems to have sorted very quickly. I didn't know it was possible to have a funeral within 4 days nowadays. Around here it takes that long to get the paperwork let alone make the arrangements! If it was sudden I wonder if it required a post mortem? Again speedy! Being a young cynic is someone in a hurry for a legacy? That also goes to prove you shouldn't stint on what you want and need as anything you leave will soon be spend by A N Other 😲. Pointless to hoard 😉

I don't know the circumstances, Bakers, as we have been away on an extended CL trip and only got back last weekend. I do know that he had a Nephew who also lives in the village so maybe he has inherited the bungalow. Norman used to walk their dog for them and that's how we used to meet when we had one. We hadn't seen him for a while so it could have been an extended illness but the other neighbour has only just moved in and didn't know the details.

Still, a timely reminder to enjoy what you have.

Not doing a great deal today as we had a dreadful nights sleep between the two of us. No energy.

Quite a nice afternoon here, so spent a couple of hours clearing out garden. Pointless, it will all grow back again, next year!
