It&#8217;s been a while since I last wrote in here. What am I telling you that for? You can quite clearly see that for yourself. Is that a problem? Not neccessarily. I&#8217;ve evidently not had anything of note to share via this medium. So why now? Why not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I have my brain to unscramble. Two weeks (or is it three now?) into lockdown things have started to go slightly south. By that I mean wrong. Not that the south is wrong. It&#8217;s just a phrase. Perhaps the fact that I felt the need to explain what it meant indicates that it&#8217;s not a phrase in popular use. I don&#8217;t know. Okay, I just looked it up. It seems it is a known phrase. Where was I? Brain, unscramble, gone south. Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like living on my own. I do. It suits me. I like the idea of living with other people, as a concept, but it really isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;m suited to. At least, not full time. Sometimes though, I think it would be good for me to have someone around to, quite frankly, slap me in the face and tell me to stop being an idiot. I&#8217;m reminded of an episode of Red Dwarf where Kryten designs a Rimmer style theme park with the intention of keeping Lister sane. I sometimes need something like that. Have you seen Red Dwarf? It was very good. The latter series have gone a bit south though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes, sometimes I could do with a slap in the face. I have a tendency to dwell on things and amplify negative thoughts. I don&#8217;t need someone to tell me to cheer up &#8211; that would just be annoying. For that matter, having someone who slapped me in the face would be annoying as well. I don&#8217;t know. Perhaps that&#8217;s it &#8211; having someone to annoy me would keep me sane. What&#8217;s so great about sanity though? I think it could be over-rated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps what I need is to take a step back, look at things objectively, and talk to you. As I have done. Sorted. Thank-you for listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This may well turn into a self-serving ramble of no consequence, but then, isn&#8217;t that a feature of a lot of blogs?
