Well, you know what I mean, except you also know that
grammatically, two negatives make a positive. In this instance, however, I
really mean I am staying put. I am not venturing outside.
I’m sure I’m not the only pensioner intent on staying at
home today. Not so very far from here there have been six fatalities on the
roads and the police attribute them to freezing conditions that caused black
ice which in turn caught out drivers of motor vehicles.
It is obvious that some local pavements are treacherous because
of ice. Therefore I shall not partake of my daily walk until there is a thaw.
Meanwhile I can have another stab at Andrew Marr’s, ‘History of the World’,
which has a rather dull presentation of past events. In truth I am finding it hard
going, but history is serious stuff, as Andrew points out. I’ll continue
grappling with his book to understand his slant on things. I thought the BBC TV
series was far better than the book.
I’m truly going nowhere at the moment. Ugh.
