Grayson Perry’s Perspective

I’ve had a hard week...harder than I would like

It’s ok to acknowledge it, as most of us are experiencing a shitty time at the moment...

But it has been especially  hard for me....there I’ve said it.

It’s been hard as I’m on night shifts that have exaggerated my separation  from the real world...a life which has already been separated by Covid rules and lockdown.

My tentative move into sociability, cinema, friendships and contact external to my own bubble has been curtailed and so

I’m sad and I’m suddenly lonely 

And I’m allowed to be sad......

Even though I hate it......... anyway conference calls to old friends Nigel and Cheryl have helped so much too,

Perspective gained....virtual hugs given

I’ve just watched Grayson Perry on his American road trip too

And I’ve realised, quite quickly, that I’m doing

A bit crap....but in essence I’m doing  .....just fine ...

truth

 Truth

is essential

in the condition

of the human mind

i don't care

how you find

the one thing

God provides

i need perception 

changed 

i free myself

when others

can do 

The same

I'm continually 

being taught

once i stop 

teaching

i cease to learn

to give a darn

and that is 

apathy in action

Day Off

Kristi’s work- next to Colin

Today is my first proper day off

I am back on nights tomorrow

Apart from the necessary jobs , I’m intending to watch the Charlize Therzon, Margo Robbie film on dvd 

I’ve made macaroni cheese for supper

It’s my sister in law’s birthday today so I’ve dropped off flowers and cake and a gift 

She told me I looked rough

I  do! She was right.

Gifts, whether birthday or otherwise do lighten the heart, I always think and today Kristi sent me one of her paintings which I complemented her on , on her blog. It’s a very welcome addition to my art wall and I’m sending you a big thank you for your kindness.....

( I must add here that I’m wearing another blog reader gift today, a lovely bulldog T shirt from Jackie D it made a welcome change from my now rather robust collection of Walking Dead t shirts)

Trump’s idiocy post Covid has left me speechless 

As did his maskless wave to the nation to the avengers theme

Arsehole

I’m not watching the tv news now 

The dahlia and rubekkia are blooming their last in the garden and look cheerful 

Cheerful is good today
