Perhaps its just that I have more time to see rather than just look now that I am in a semi retired mode.Things I took for granted now have a meaning and sometimes I cant for the like of me understand
I have just been to the hardware warehouse and for some reason looked across the car park.I was amazed at the number of what are now called SUV,s I counted 65 vehicles in total with 47 of them SUV,s On the way home I took note of the vehicles on the roads and I was surprised
What is it that brings people to drive these machines as they do not appear to be into hard work activities Is it just a slick advertising gimmick or are our roads so bad people need tough trucks
I think its the former and not the latter and anyhow what happened a hundred and fifty years ago when people rode horses? Did people try to upgrade horses to bigger and tougher models?I don't think so as they were all four wheel drive in any case

How sweet it is !
You have too high a level of sugar in your test ! Just a very ordinary comment from my concerned Doctor bu t the implications are enormous
To change a sweet tooth at my age requires a lot of discipline so the journey has begun.At quick calculation revealed at least twenty teaspoons of sugar added to my drinks alone in one day not to mention the sugars in prepared food
Life may not be as sweet for me now but if I succeed it may last a little longer

Surprise
The postman has just delivered a nice surprise from the Court
A call up notice for jury service which will place my life effectively on hold for five weeks
I must admit I believe the system of random call ups for jury service is a fair process in the justice delivery system but it certainly comes as a shock when the subpoena arrives
This will be my second go and I hope it does not follow the first in which I was empanelled for two weeks straight in a very complex case
I learnt from the experience especially the fact that justice is not what victims necessarily want .Very often its revenge
I believe that there is an old saying that if you go to seek revenge you should dig two graves and on reflection this may have a modicum of truth about it
I now go foward to be watched over by Themis
