At last! The darkness has descended and the night has begun! At last the days will begun to stay around that little bit longer. At last the year is turning and Spring is on the way, after a couple of months of hail, snow, wind and freezing weather of course! How lovely to think there will be more light, buds on trees, blossoms and gaiety all around once more. The shortest day celebrated the fact by almost allowing the sun to shine. The rain fell where it belonged, elsewhere, and when I sauntered around the town the clouds had a bright golden edge to them.
I wanted to do a post full of insight and significance but the bug has worn me out again. My little brain is dull tonight, and wasn't much better this morning. As I did the women's work today, hoovering and such like, I left the front door ajar. An ambulance paramedic approached enquiring for a shop selling hot food. When I have a bug the mind often blocks things and as I attempted to send her to the bakers shops for overpriced pies and soup I could not remember the shops name, it has only come to mind now I write this, 'Greggs.' It has taken all day to arrive, and possibly it has taken the ambulance crew all day to find the shop after my directions! Why does this 'block' happen I wonder? I am sure my mother had this, and I suspect it runs in the family, like debt.
I am worried about my week away over Christmas. I will not be able to take the laptop as they use Sky and not Talk Talk. There is growing within me a sensation of desperation here. A week without fingertapping on this wee keyboard. A week without emails, a week without anon spamming me, a week without contact with the real world. A week in which I will have to talk to people! Oooooh. I think I am off to bed, I feel giddy.....

Well, if you're just looking for an excuse to stop the finger tapping, you can stop reading here, BUT...
I have Sky. I have had a succession of visitors over the last three months now, and all without fail use my router. Do you use Wifi? If so, ask them for the password written on the label on the underside of the router. If you use a cable to attach to your router, take the cable with you. Then you don't even need the password.
But of course, I will allow you a week off to talk to people. I'm thinking of having a month off in the hope that afterwards I'll feel more sociable and stop biting the head off anyone passing by.
I empathise with your feelings of despair over the lack of computer availability for a WEEK!!!! Arrrrgggggh! I don't think I've even any words to offer to give you comfort! How sad is that?
We all have our "senior moments". My landlords and I were discussing similar only this morning! There's nothing worse that introduce a friend to someone, and you have a mental block about your friend's name! That is a very embarrassing situation to find yourself in! ;)
Never fear, Adullamite...you are not alone! :)
Merry Christmas, Adullamite!!
many Blessings

What a wonderful interesting picture that accompanies this amazing post. The beautiful isle of Greater England looks so green. I'll bet it was taken when the days were longer, though. Or is it still that green at the winter solstice that Jethro T sings about? I wonder. I hope you have a nice Christmas and don't have to talk to too many strangers.
A. I might look into that, thanks!
Lee, ....what was I going to say....?
RDG, And to you sweet thing. xx
Max, It is NOT GREATER ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!
According to many very thorough scientific studies, exposure to sunshine and people in the flesh can cause cancer.
Jerry, According to many very thorough scientific studies, exposure to rain, cold, wind, and freezing, among people clad in several layers of clothing causes survival, but only just!
