Reading posts from this community pleases me in ways I have struggled to explain or define.
Until I realised…
The dull men’s club is is the antitheses of the escalating deluge of drivel from self dubbed “influencers” on social media.
This community celebrates the every day but does it without the hullabaloo of attention grabbing junk we are surrounded by these days. It does it quietly in a dignified manner… and I find that… comforting…
Also: I cooked bacon and egg breakfast for our teen kids and all their friends this morning. I cleaned the kitchen before sitting down to eat my own breakfast. I decided to clean first, as this way I get to sit down and not get back up. Cold breakfast was a small price to pay for being able to drink my coffee and read the news, knowing the kitchen is done, and I don’t need to get up again…
I work from home. I love to buy the day’s bread, making coffee for me and my wife, help my children eat, prepare their school bags and take them to school. After that, when I come.back to my house, my wife left for her work, and I drink my “true” coffee, that is my second one, while eating my breakfast, alone and calmly. Only then I’m ready for my work day.
