Looking to the future

It is difficult to explain how I felt when i put the radio back on just after 4 a.m. and listened to the train crash unfolding.  What have we done?  What has been done to us?  It brings back all sorts of personal feelings about separation, loss and divorce - never easy, but for a whole country?  Emails and whatsapp to the members of my family directly affected by this as I watched the bottom fall out of the currency market.  It felt like waking up after a spectularly bad party and looking round at the devastation that had been wreaked.  And it was all so unnecessary, just because of a lack of leadership and inability to do man management.  But life goes on.

The rest of the day did not improve.  I was supposed to be off but weather, deep depression and a huge 'to do' list meant i worked at home and got at least one of the 'biggies' completed as well as a lot of dross. 

Set up the Manor laptop to update and be safe which took ages and then to Cameron Toll where no vests were to be had.  Nearly an hour there helping parents set up a bank account.  I know the guy has to ask all sorts of questions but totally irrelevant to nonagenarians.  the 2 hours driving round the city looking for #2 son's lost house keys.  Dinner - a Tesco sandwich.  

Shattered, bed, Black Friday indeed.
