The world continues to turn on its axis, but watching the behaviour of politicians I wonder how long humans are going to last. We seem to have an extraordinary bent for self destruction, more than any other species, so perhaps our eventual demise will be greeted with a huge sigh of relief from the rest of the universe.
It's so long since I posted I don't recall whether I had my new television or not, and if I did, whether it was installed on a bracket on the wall which allows me to push the television against the wall when I'm not watching it, or angle it for a good view from where I'm sitting. I feel very high tech now, the size of the screen (32") is almost twice that of my previous television but minuscule compared to the televisions many people are buying now.
So new television, new arrangement in the living room. Saturday was spent moving bits of furniture about and dusting those bits pf skirting corners which don't get much attention in the usual run of things. MasterB was asleep under my bed when I was doing this and, being a cat and very keen on routine and resistant to change, cast an appalled look around the room when he came in and vocalised his disapproval. He then investigated everything, rubbed his face against everything to remind me that they belonged to him, and now seems to have accepted the new set up. This is fortunate as I do not want to move it all back.
Footwise I am making progress, but after a great day on Saturday, this week has been marked by strange new pains across the top of my foot just below my toes. I do so wish I were seeing a physiotherapist regularly who could advise what I should be doing and what to expect. I'm continuing with my home devised exercises and I am convinced they are helping.
When I had my op two months ago, Michèle appeared with a pile of books. I have been slowly making my way through them as well as the library books I also borrowed. The other day I finished Home Fire by Kamila Shamshie, a sort of take on the story of Antigone set around ten years ago when ISIS was at boiling point and we were watching in shock and horror at people going to join up, and the reactions of the state at home. I'm not going to go into the story but if you haven't read it, do.
