Room with a view
The view from my window is uninteresting; in fact, after three years of looking at the scene with absolutely nothing happening It had become almost unbearably boring. As with so many things that have to be put up with in this life, my mind’s response was to adjust its tolerance threshold; it did a recalibration of the point where things start seeming to be interesting.Now I set an alarm on my phone to make sure I don’t miss the man across the square taking his dog for its early evening walkabout. I’ve invented a little game where I try to guess which houses the postman will visit and which ones he’ll miss. The postman usually wins the game; I suspect he has the answers written down somewhere.
Sometimes the parked cars might be in a more interesting configuration than normal, or the bin men may have left the emptied bins cluttering up the pavement more untidily than usual. The unpredictability of such events makes them all the more entertaining when they occur.
A fascinating cloud drifted by the other day, and here’s me complaining that nothing ever happens.

Plus, fit work into it as well.
Hat off to you, sir
Well..I've got news for you Herbie...
There is NEVER NOTHING going on!
Even in those most boring moments there's too much going on for us to comprehend.
In a "nothing happening" situation something which we should all be aware of...at any moment...your very existence is in peril!
Ps..this is an extract of one of my previous blogs.
At least it will keep you occupied for a while...While watching the postman's activities.
Sweet corn less so
They're quite nice too.
I have often waved to them when I was going out. I'd arrive back a couple of hours later and they'd be still in exactly the same position. .
Plus 1 dog. She's part of the package.
But you'd better put in your order early to ensure delivery before the end of the month,
It took a while, but once I got to know afew of the neighbors, we now have a group that checks on each other ,to see if things are okay. Every so often, I ll cut one of the elderly neighbors lawns, and every so often, someone will be walking in the door with fresh baking. A person has to remember to have good neighbors, you have to be a good neighbor..
In lots of ways, the older council estates and terraces were better as there was lot more of a community spirit there. Yes they would know your business, but they'd also be there to have a chat to in the evenings.
Still a long haul to do, don't know when yet but will starting immunotherapy every 2 weeks for a year. Doing my best to keep promise
