Day 738 Dull and boring

16th August 2019

The jobs I have to do seem so trivial, and I am lacking the motivation to do them. Fitting door knobs doesn’t require any element of skill, it’s just measure, drill and fit, that’s all.

Painting the trim in the porch doesn’t require any talent, it just another task on the list that gets ticked off. The weather was shite all day, so no watering of the plants is required, the weather in Holland is hot and sunny, but I’m not there to enjoy it.

I had Amilie and Ryan visiting to use the shower, it wasn’t that long ago I had to visit them for the very same reason.

So the balance is maintained. Louise had a problem with her car, the fuel pump had failed, so that had to be replaced. This took all the money she had made at the Trowbridge market, one step forward, and one back.

I wanted to archive some images off my phone in order to free up some memory. There were hundreds of them. Looking at photos used to be family entertainment, treasured events printed out. Digital images, similar to music has become just background wallpaper. We take millions of images and rarely look back at them, because there are so many, and we can’t be bothered, it’s easier to take a million more.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
