come the morning, followed by...00:04 Aug 30 2011

And, come the morning, after the housework, we had sat and chatted awhile as we drank our tea, debating as to why man has two eyes and was it an illustration that there was a grand design. That thought, needless to say, had led to a most thoughtful conversation indeed.
The macular damage Dad had suffered in one eyes, thus providing a distinct ‘floater’, had been joined by a second, in his other eye on Saturday. Come Monday morning though, irritating eye or not, the housekeeping had to be done. The washing had to go on and then, he had helped prepare the main meal with me, much later.
A documentary on 9/11 did my own sense of personal safety no good, put into context with a very interesting couple of dead line phone calls I’d received earlier…
Twice today I had funny phone-calls, during which time I speak and no-one answered. Now, I’ve had these before and, tend to blame an ex-fiancee, even after seventeen years. BUT… and, there is a but, the reason I’m now suspicious and writing, is that on the end of second call, made at 20:26 which lasted a minute or so, ‘a voice’, whether automated or perhaps run through a modulator I know not, said, “Goodbye.” Now, that was new to me and, when I dialled 1471 I heard the automated ‘operator’ tell me, “We do not have the callers number, to return the call.”
As if the calls themselves weren’t reason for frustration, it was the ‘goodbye’ that I’d found both curious and, quite annoying.
