3 Good Things - Round 4

Desmond1979

Since the third thread of gratitudes is redacted, I'll create a new one;

1. Managed to get a Sunday Lunch, at a local Spar, while supplies were available.

2. Got Manure, off my Mechanic, for growing Spuds; at his Stable.

3. Listened to a Podcast Interview of a Man who talked about Sticks used in Ireland; back in the days.

  • 1.  I have just discovered the name of the type of terrifying lift I once used in the London School of Economics: Paternoster.

    2.  Kindles. The ability to suit the size of the font to eyesight is invaluable. 

    3.  There still existing bookshops in spite of Kindles.

    I used Paternoster lifts for many years, getting the timing right was the secret. I did get used to them and it became second nature. To be a real initiate you had to stay on the lift as it went underneath or over to change direction - it was dark and very noisy.  I did it once only!
