So yesterday involved going straight to sleep after Scouts and
Explorers. Just a touch tired! I had spent most of the day in
meetings and that drained me. Scouts was fun in the sun and Explorers
were their usual giggly selves. They are a fun bunch who give me hope.
They are very open and kind to one another as a whole. One turned up
in a skirt and tights with no one batting an eyelid. It was nice that
no one really commented that someone male was dressed like that. Well
until I realised after 40 odd minutes and said "Oh its a skirt. Fair
play." His response was "Yer, of course." We left it at that. All
gives hope that people can be kind to one another.
Today was mostly about trying to recover from yesterday's meetings and
preparing for some more tomorrow. I started watching Time on BBC. It
is a fairly grim prison drama with some clear messages. Some of the
dialogue is entertaingly obvious about it but it is a chilling watch.
I also got some bad news. Well possibly bad news. My mum has been made
a cancer appointment after a blood test showing she is anemic. It has
probably been some 17 years since her last brush with cancer. I hope
it stays that way. Nothing remains the same. Everything changes on
some scale or another. Live in the present for anything else increases
suffering. Simple but difficult to master. Anyhow, time for some
marmot spotting updates with the Dubious Goals Committee!
