Good golly a post

The algorithm is not a new concept.

MMM mastery of the eighties gave me a ringside seat to lemming power.

The call to king and country enlivened the young men to plunder their lives for two memorable generations last century.

Bank crashes. Famine uprisings. Fires. Fashion choices and others reactions.

There is beauty sometimes in turning it all off. Don't you wish, at times, that we could turn naptime (totally keeping that autocorrect in) and look to the paper for what is on in our town to do and what people have done great things in our little community and some far off lands with funny names.

There is good in this instant connection but sometimes I wonder if the price is too high.

But then...

Did they wonder that at the advent of flight? Of automobiles? Of sailing ships? The sextant? The clock? Literacy?

Light relief.

Its been a weekend.

And it's only Saturday.

This was going to be a post about grandmothers and genetics and guilt.

Of goats and goat hay and green beans and corn.

It's V's birthday tomorrow. I remembered on my drive back today that the box of various cards that everyone has somewhere we have somewhere - in storage 

I do, however, know where I can lay my hands on A birthday card.

In the bag of paperwork I came across a card that had not been written in but I have no memory of ever buying.

I don't think that it will be suitable.

It is very specifically to a sister...

I had quite a drive home from my parents place this afternoon.

I didn't like my audiobook which meant that the was thrown to the mercy of what was on the radio and it was cricket.

Do you know that you can listen to the cricket, drive and think all at the same time? You sometimes need to turn it down when you have interesting bits of road, good views or if you want to make a call.

It was deemed by both the environment and weather departments that I would not be able to balance another verb to the pile and book the bowling alley thus ticking off an item on my list.

In fact, the technology department also stuck their oars in and insisted that not only would the phone not work. It would need a reboot.

So how was your day?
