Interest

Isn’t it a pity that we can’t have a flexible sentencing thing for people like this loan-shark who charged an 8,000,000% interest.

That way, his eight-month sentence could be added to in the same way that his loans were added to – just keep on adding time to it until he was there for life, as a living example of what that kind of interest does to people…

In Absentia

Yet again, for whatever reason, the weekend resulted in no updates on D4D. Shocking, I know.

There’s no particular reason for not updating – well, there is, yet again I’m playing catch-up on a bout of depression that’s been hanging around for a few days/weeks/months/years (depending on how you look at it) which is probably the subject of another post I keep writing and re-writing in my head at the moment.

Anyway, Friday was primarily spent away from electronic devices, which kind of negated the entire “posting on D4D” thing. I was involved in looking after various animals of the family – several of aforementioned family had gone off to attend a funeral, so I was on “letting them out for dumps” duty.  Yes, the morning was still my own, but was still not overly connected to t’Internet, so there we go.

Saturday was just downtime, in several senses of the word, and resulted in no written output at all.

Sunday was primarily spent Out, as we decided to take Hound to the beach (in this case Walcott, and then (briefly) Cromer) and also brought in a visit to a craft place along the way.

And that was the weekend. So it goes.
