Friday 5:35 p.m.
I was feeling a bit crabbit coming home from Bellshill today. Partly, this was due to missing the extra hour's meditation I normally get while listening to the Dharmapada with my auld maw ... because my sister was visiting. My sister has an interest in the education of the working class and this subject just makes me mad.
By the way, I went to a single sex selected school which was full of working class kids. It's another world, Jack, so it is!
Then I get home just in time to listen to the news on Radio 4. So I'm stirring the soap and listening to the news, but there isn't any news. I switched it off after the first twenty minutes which was entirely concerned with a memorial service for some aristocratic woman who died with her boyfriend because they weren't wearing seatbelts in the motor doing 100 m.p.h.... well, before it totalled into a wall. But this was ten years ago! Dearie me! Off with their heads and up the republic!

You exaggerate, I suspect, because over time I notice that seeing yer old mum puts you in a good mood. Right? I think it's wonderful that she's so open to sharing your experience, and I'm hoping to get wise too as I inexorably age. Well on my way to being a cat lady now, and it feels quite comfortable and... right.
On educating the working class, not sure what the disagreement is with your sister. Which one of you is saying it's a good thing?
Ion: I'm fortunate indeed to still have an auld maw! Hotboy
Albert? For they shall inherit the earth! Hotboy
Sounds like your old dear's in better shape than mine. I'm trying to get her to stop taking the various drugs which are making her feel very ill. But you can't tell a Bavarian anything.
Who'd want to inherit the earth just when it's totally funged? Dearie dearie me!
Albert? Don't do it, Albert! I was only joking about flatheids commiting suicide! Honest! Hotboy p.s. Nice to see your still kicking on anyway!
