Time on my hands

28 November 2012

• I'm thinking of joining Facebook. A friend told me I could share my pictures with my friends and I would also have a bit of time to myself.

I like sharing photos. Photos relax people. Whenever I take out the family album to show it to my friends they immediately begin to yawn. Only last week a friend I hadn't seen for ages fell asleep looking at it.

As for having time to myself, I could certainly do with that. At the moment I don't have a minute. Monday it's coffee with friends. Tuesday it's polka dancing. Wednesday it's wading through the charity shops. Thursday and Friday I have to watch my husband cooking dinner for the family. Friday and Saturday I read books and at the same time have to look at all the housework I'll have to do in six months' time.

I don't blame anyone for this only myself. I was always a slave to the family.

Bruton article hit nail on the head

Madam – I write to offer a complimentary word to Willie Kealy on a quite superb article published on your front page (Sunday Independent, May 12, 2013). I find it uplifting, not to say encouraging, when a journalist hits the nail on the head, particularly when the target is one of our careerist elitist politicians. Another of your journalists, Gene Kerrigan, writes with laser-like accuracy in this regard. None fits the target bill better than the subject of your piece last week, Mr Bruton.
