Random Thoughts

My computer has had a fit of the sulks for a couple of days.  It would not do anything we asked it to.  We had to send for the computer doctor.  I remember my neighbour way back in the 1980s receiving a computerised bill for one thousand pounds instead of  ten pounds and saying "computers don't have a soul to be damned or a backside to be kicked".  (Only he did use a more vernacular word than backside.)

I am still being amused by TV subtitles.  Yesterday  a lady said she spent her time pulling the heads off  chrysanthemums.  The subtitler said pulling the heads off flowers.  I suppose he couldn't spell chrysanthemums!

Today has been another lovely autumn day and I sat in the sunshine enjoying my lunch.  I walked, rather slowly, to the shops and came back , even more slowly, after sitting down in the Co-op.  There are three seats for weary customers to recuperate after trailing round the shelves, and in my case, peering at the labels where the writing seems to get smaller each time I shop.  However, the assistants are very nice and helpful and will scour the shelves looking for what I want.  To return to the seats - they are made of metal and most welcome but rather cold.  I think they should provide cushions.
