Ever since the computer and car problems – plus a
few other things – made their appearance, the old fatigue condition has started
to trouble me again. I get unpleasant sensations in which the life force seems
to be ebbing away and my consciousness making a bid for independence. At such
times I can’t help wondering whether I’m ready for the off.
By way of contrast, I stopped to watch some young heifers
grazing this afternoon. I was struck by how relaxing it is to hang over a field
gate, watching them munch contentedly away and listen to the crump, crump sound they make as they do
so. I was also struck by the fact that several of them appeared to be just as
interested in me as I was in them. I wondered what was going through their
minds. It looked like mere inquisitiveness, but who knows?
And I read that some scientists somewhere have
demonstrated that parrots have a problem-solving ability about the equivalent
of a three-year-old human. Maybe we should get a few of them to run for parliament
and raise the general standard.
