Wednesday 20.04.22 dawns fine yet again dear readers of Wear and Dao; a gorgeous sunny day in Spring as the Easter school holidays are in their last week before school recommences and the kind caring nurse's Daughter comes for lunch with her two sons, who are a bundle of fun if somewhat exhausting for old folks!
Lunch is meat pie and jacket potatoes for the carnivores and veggie pies plus jacket potatoes for the vegetarians. Dessert is ice cream jelly and cake after which the five of us take a stroll in the Sun, which warms the skin and offers fresh air and exercise for us, albeit with the old blogger perched precariously in the wheelchair and the younger members vying for the honour of attempting to tip him out, much to the amusement of the cheerful strollers along the riverside walk ...
The family return home early enough to give the knackered old blogger a chance to recover well before the light supper of pea soup and ice cream. So, all in all, quite a day was enjoyed by all, which is always a pleasure. After blog writing and pondering upon the Meaning of Life and the Nature of Reality today's post comes together nicely, if a little repetitively. Clearly the Meaning of Life is to amuse and educate our young folks in the ways to Enlightenment via Philosophy and to learn from other maybe wiser heads how to reach Nirvana, which would be quite a feat, would it not dear readers of Wear and Dao, and maybe walk El Camino de Santiago for themselves one day!
Tomorrow Marta is to visit for lunch with her small sons, plus maybe Gillian the Angel of Stanhope for a post-Lent afternoon tea. How time flies, as money hopefully flows in from the potential sale of the Retreat House and out through rental of the desired bungalow. Never a dull moment in Weardale as UK Column News plays to try to scare us into the Resistance, but scare tactics never work in the longer term i.e. eternity!
