Miscellaneous

The weather has changed- I can feel it in me bones. Yes, I really can these days; it's like flu without the head-cold.

I was looking at my LJ for 2008. Back then I could post a review of an obscure late story by Kipling- and get nearly 30 comments- 50+ if you count my replies. Them days is dead and gone.

My mother's carers come from all over; the one we see most of is from the Philippines. The drivers who deliver our parcels (who work for Amazon, Argos etc) are even more cosmopolitan: they're from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe. This is what immigration looks like. Without immigrants our society would seize up.

I know.

I wasn't complaining. Just making an observation. I imagine I'll carry on posting here whether people read me or not.

I do find LiveJournal very restful after Facebook. I'd have nothing to do with Facebook if I could, but so many friends and family use it and you find you're out of the loop if you don't have an account. But I rely on LJ for thoughtful writing on a wide variety of topics.

Ailz has a FB and she alerts me when there's something that might interest me- like pictures of the grandkids.
