Re: Ordinary Life
When discussing one's life Spitty we must take the average and not just recent events (The topic title 'Ordinary Life' and not 'Lockdown Life') We have all managed to survive the ravages of life so far being as this is an over fifties forum, and throughout our lives we have been faced with the results of two world wars, the three day week, Brexit, Covid and host more natural and man made events......All these things could be considered 'Just posts in the fence of life' I mean! something's got to happen because nothing ever stays the same does it....My life hasn't been ordinary until now, when everything I have done pales into insignificance and nobody really give a sh$t, I've just turned into a rambling old bloke with stories by the bucket load who thinks he was a 'somebody' but now realises that I was just nobody special; So yes, it's been a sort of ordinary life thus far......But it's not over Yet......

To some degree (more in some than others) our lives are moulded by the media because they decide what is ordinary and what is not.....
