To be solitary when that's what you want & need, is a good thing to be able to achieve, to be solitary always, & to see whatever future there will be as more of the same or worse, as old age eventually creeps in, doesn't make for contentment or any sense of the worth of one's life. As an invisible worker on permanent unsocial hours, I'm in a working environment that's shared, but sectioned off. I'm sounding off here, because this is one of very few conversational human contacts I have now, outside of work, visits to my dementia suffering Mother, a weekly call from my bro, & people in shops, the pubs look like they're never going to open again, this government mandated, semi-permanent house-arrest, has got to change, or it's going to break a lot more people than it has already. I feel up to the immediate challenge, but neither strong in the anticipation of it, nor happy about facing months & especially not years on end, alone 24/7, it's not healthy, nor do I think it's sustainable, not for years anyway..

Saturday, late afternoon, the remanants of a cup of coffee have gone cold, the fire is warm, making the room seem cosier than it would otherwise be. The rain is intermittent, but a downpour is sure to come. Got a stinker of a cold, so informed Deacon that unfortunately, I won't be attending service tomorrow.
Going to have a nice hot meal, of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic & herbs, with a side of steamed savoy cabbage, done over the pan of pot's.
I think a hot bath and early bed, are definitely on the cards for tonight, I'll read until I can't, then I'll put out the light & go to sleep. I've got cocoa, so a big mug of steaming hot cocoa beteween exiting the bath & going to bed, will be a nice way to end the evening.
I hope you are well & remembering to live, as well as being the worker/fixer/boss/co-owner/whatever. We must be mindful of the welfare of others, at all times, at all times except when we need to put ourselves first, temporarily, when it's time to recharge ...
