Lots of little errands today breaking up the day. Then a coffee/cake with my mum this afternoon and a nice evening meal. Followed by a nice Malbec. Finally I learned that I am shown front and centre in the video for an album launch I attended with my daughter a week or two back. I was twice the age of everyone else there. It was a fun night and gives me some cool dad points.<br/><br/>I am now watching the end of S3/start of S4 of the west wing. 2024-11-12T20:55:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8rtfu7uwmf8jxydldrgz4gsruz8gqpahspmhu9qayt0udje4y74szyqptj9ls72te8kx7ezp7uxzsmqhgmemcev4mw99ljm2lz0k8tflf7c4cgwg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxlldn4rqp7frwct23vjc67hycufhs39k7qkcux2yzqp8s8xedk8gfa5ad4'>nevent1q…5ad4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think this just reflects that as a society we care about the wrong things. <br/><br/>An obsession with growth rather than with caring for one another. <br/><br/>I had hoped the pandemic would re-align things a little but if anything it has made us more selfish.<br/><br/>To me we need to get to the heart of things and we need a massive re-alignment of our values. Moving from ‘what is in it for me?’ to ‘How can we help each other’. 2024-11-02T09:14:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz92tus6ez5am2rrlzwt0lwk6wc7hrs93m3p8dshknzc9sl49rzmqzyqptj9ls72te8kx7ezp7uxzsmqhgmemcev4mw99ljm2lz0k8tflf7j05q8w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdz7lxvy4xdh72hlwkjgc3hq338f5ctf95k3de4qqnmr6cj4hh4fg0ylx4s'>nevent1q…lx4s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>nice one.

Happy with my time give a recent holiday full of wine and food along with a very hilly course described by the race organisers at the start as ‘not a pb course’. #running 2024-08-11T14:47:46Z
