Off Grid
No news from CNN, BBC, I24 France 24, Al Jazeera, RT
No Facebook
No email
No phone (mobile). We answered our landline.
My husband and I decided to have Off Grid Saturdays.
Why?
When we stayed in the Bubble in Austria, there was no working wifi. We survived.
What did we do?
Had a good café sit with friends at the marché.
Read.
Wrote.
I went thru all my old photos, throwing many out and dividing them between the ones I'd keep, the family ones going to my daughter when I see her in Scotland next month, and a few to scan.
We had a lovely dinner with friends on a balcony and waiting for the promised shooting stars.
Quiet
Peaceful
This morning we learned of the hatred in Virginia. North Korea is still a problem. Sides hurl epithets of liberal and conservative as if they were subhuman. Brexit is causing headaches. Nothing we can do anything about.
I can hardly wait until next Saturday when we are off grid again.
