Hiya Molly - glad to hear you and Joe will be getting away for a much-needed holiday. What will Joe do when you return? Does he have something in mind? Just asking cause Mr. Stirly doesn't always have much to do since he stopped working and he gets very bored. Mind you, if we lived in a house and not an apartment, it would be different - there'd be gardens to tend to and small repairs and such to be done. Anyway, I was just wondering. Mr. Stirly has joined a group of older people that go to the beach most mornings to either swim or walk long distances along the beach but I'm wondering when the weather starts to get cold and rainy, what he's going to do. Anyway, for now, hopefully Joe will rest and relax and of course, you'll enjoy your holiday to the fullest!!
As for modern technology and the lack of human contact that is more and more prevalent in our time, my biggest complaint is when I call a company and get a fecking automated answering service where you tell them what you want and then they connect you with the correct department. The problem is, if you don't know who want, you wait 15 minutes on hold til some real person answers, then they say they will connect you with the person you need to talk to and then the line doesn't tranfer but goes dead instead. The most frustrating was with the Canadian Embassy. All I wanted to do was ask someone a simple question and after 5 attempts to get the right department and actually talk to someone, I finally gave up. P'd off.com.
So where is Starty this fine morning? She's usually up with the birdies...
Wishing you all a great day!!
