Here are some heart-warming sequences of people helping animals.
Whilst we were away we made a conscious decision not to be too accessible to anyone. Yes we took our mobile phones with us but apart from a "we've arrived!" phone call to respective parents and Donna checking in with her Mum once a week we decided on no Internet access, no emails, no text messages, no news, no nothing! This means that when I arrived home I had about two hundred emails to deal with. Most of these were junk and of no importance and a great deal better than last year when I had almost three thousand to deal with! One of the surprising things was that we didn't miss having the news thrust at us all the time. Since getting back I realise that neither Syria nor North Korea have gone away and that al Qaeda are still being murdering arseholes wherever they can be. There are a few more domestic stories; you know the sort of things, politicians being stupid, nasty little murders and other such sordid stuff but I haven't worried about those at all and I begin to wonder whether I shouldn't just scrap the news altogether and just carry on in my own sweet way. Actually, that would be a bit of a simplistic view to take overall because it is somewhat necessary to be slightly in contact with the world although as I have found, most of the hardest decisions to be made are those made on the home front. Everything from "is there enough cash to pay the bills?" through to "when does it become necessary to turn the heating on?" Some decisions are harder than others and sometimes having to make those decisions is forced upon you or rather the decision is made for you by the simple fact that there is no other sensible course of action. To that end, this is going to be a very difficult week indeed. Here are some heart-warming sequences of people helping animals. Comments are closed.
