Mid Autumn
This is a lovely time of year. The days are almost as long as the nights and temperatures are for the most part comfortable. We do have a cold snap ahead but it is a few days away so we are enjoying nights with a minimum 14C. My wife and I face hard decisions this year. We have run a small circular distribution business ( junk mail ) for over 25 years. A quarter century. The industry is failing and is in a sunset phase. We are getting older and net profit diminishing. Also our health is going downhill so we may have to cease trading. The business is like an old friend but maybe it is time to let go. If not this year then definitely in 2024. We will need to find other things to occupy our time. However our house and grounds feature many delayed projects. Our country, in election year, continues lurching from crisis to crisis and we are ruled by idiots. Alas the opposition seem no better. So much for democracy. Who to vote for? They all sing the same song. The covid epidemic hysteria has destroyed our small nation and the wounds are suppurating rather than healing. Happy Autumn/Spring where ever your reside.
