The telephone box, from inside, with lights:
And, from outside, Mr BW working on his latest wood carving, ‘The Enduring Present’, late this afternoon:
It’s 33 years today since we met. The Enduring Present.
Now, why is it that we have lots and lots and lots of festive lights, almost all of them running in a more environmentally friendly way on rechargeable batteries, but we discover this afternoon that the battery charger (4 years old) is dead, and Amazon Prime (another free 30 day trial offered on my Witchday last Wednesday, which is already in the diary to cancel after 29 days) apparently cannot get anything here until Saturday now.
Never mind, we still have plenty of ‘proper’ batteries. But why oh why is nothing made to last these days?

I’m relieved to see you back. I thought the website had died as it wasn’t accepting new comments.
Oh the embedded obsolescence. What a posh term. To be honest I didn’t know rechargeable batteries were more environmentally friendly, but then I rarely use batteries (except for my hearing aids).

Thanks Caroline. I’m hoping to post more regularly again soon.
Sorry that the ability to send comments autocloses after a couple of weeks.

I have a couple of battery chargers that must be the best part of 30 years old, and still functioning, touch wood.
