…the Kingdom of God, as that delightful hymn goes. It will certainly prove more rewarding than the fruitless search for money I’ve been on these past few years!
I don’t know whether I’m happy or sad with life at the moment. The area where I’m living at the moment is turning into a dump, mainly thanks to a bunch of no-marks aged around 15/16 – aren’t they always – who’ve decided, because they’re no-hopers at school with bugger all chance of a job in this job-free zone of a country, that it’s cool to be anti-social and racist. So bins get turned over;, oranges, stones and insults get thrown; and at the end of the day it’s a bit like the sink estate mentality we chose to get away from has been well and truly imported.
We’re in touch with the police and they’re promising action, so let’s see. I think the English language press might actually have a legitimate story to report for once, if things don’t improve.
My writing, possibly because of all this nonsense, is being frustrated. At the moment I’m still stuck at the editing stage, brimming with self-doubt: did I use the same adverb twice on page 20, is there a non-sequitur on p.37, etc etc. I’ll get there in the end, because I’ve done so five times before!
Meanwhile I try to keep tweeting, FBing, GoodReading and sober. It’s a hard life; the Kingdom of God has to be better, although I’m not sure I’m ready for it yet!
