Parcels ready for the post.
I feel like I am finally back in the saddle!
I have parcels to post.
The last EBay item that I posted was on August 24th; it has been almost 3 months without activity.
Today 7 things were sold - including the mauchline egg that I pictured 10 days ago.
One of my parcels may not need to be posted tomorrow. I know the buyer and he will be at the Ford car boot sale tomorrow. I am not sure if we will actually meet up, because he says he arrives at the very minute the sellers are admitted to the site. Bill and I are usually 20 minutes or so later.
I wish I enjoyed the Children in Need evening on BBC TV.
The cause is worthy.
In fact the bits I prefer to watch are the items about the particular needs of particular children and their families.
And I hope lots of money is raised for the good of our society.
But I do recall the comment of Gandhi (not about Children in Need of course).
He said that when a man gives money to the poor, he is considered a saint; but if he asks why are they poor, he is thought to be a political agitator.
We really do need to address that question.........maybe there can be no satisfactory answer. Maybe we will always be dependent on the good will of people who give their money away to good causes.
