Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well it’s nice to hear from you again young bean, you were badly missed.Anything can happen when you hit 70 so if you see a long absence from me you’ll know I went on to higher things and that’s finally it, what’s this you say “Is that all there is?”
I’m be satisfled in the knowledge that I did me best and never harmed a living soul intentionally.
Ah the old booting up thing, many’s the boot up the arse I got from me old dad God rest him, gave me a great start…out the door.
The thing about computers is you can never fully rely on them no matter how much you pay for one, until they get something that will conduct electricity 100% without loss there will always be problems with heat, it’s the wastage that causes the heat according to a program on BBC4 I watched recently, I believe a material called graphite (I think that’s what it's called) holds great possibilities, plus the fact that it’s very cheap.

My only claim to having rellies of a thespian bent was my dear late mother's long friendship with Ken Russell the eccentric film producer. Ken's family employed my mother for a few years, in service, at Mr. Russell's Victorian residence. After losing touch after the war they were reunited when he mentioned my mother in one of his books.
They corresponded & met up together for many years until their deaths which by an amazing coincidence occurred on exactly the same day in 2011

A cleaner in our employ back in the 1980s, rather like Hilda Ogden, had a son who had an obsession with skips & noted their numbers and other info avidly. He eventually made a career in recycling.
His mother never knew but I was in the same class at school
as his father , a fellow of nervous disposition, later he was to commit suicide. Incidentally , the cleaner was the dead spit of the dead mans mother.
