Yet more progress
Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
For the past two evenings I have been struggling to understand the menus of the latest version of my anti-virus program. I want to set the schedules for updates and scans according to how I use the computer not how the programmers think I should use it. I don't have broadband, I use a dial-up connection, and I surf the web little so I fail to see the need for a daily scan for viruses.
I heard a nice description of a brain recently--a kilo and a half of jelly with electricity.
My broad beans, safe from pigeons under netting tunnels, had outgrown the tunnels. This afternoon I removed the tunnels and replaced them with an elaborate construction of stakes, string and a roll of netting which, I hope, will provide support and protection from pigeons. Slugs and snails, responsible for the nibbles in the plants, will still be able to munch on them. Pigeons might not eat broad beans but I am taking no chances.
Thought for today
How can he explain to this impatient young man what it has taken him forty-five years to learn--that loss is an essential part of the human condition? That even as we are moving on down that long lonesome road, destination unknown, there is always something we are leaving behind us.
Marina Lewycka, Two Caravans, 2007
