a faraway planet underwater

[dubdobdee]

i am home with my dad for five days -- he's asleep at the moment, and all i can hear in the world is his TV on quiet, the carer's TV on quieter, wind in the trees if i open the window (except then shut it as it is COLD) and this keyboard clicking

tomorrow i will probably read to him; not tonight as i'm tired from driving -- i have a lot of admin to sort out, most paperwork to do with him; some to do with me

even with this -- pimping off a neighbour's broadband for the moment, so someone must be linked to the world nearby -- it feels like all life is very far away

update: oops i forgot to link this: "the ultimate faux pas in friendship"

It's strange how easily that cut-off feeling can descend. All the connections are still there really though - the web of them is really stretchy and reaches out to wherever you are.

sense of isolation somewhat increased by fact that mobile has been hanging on my messages all day and not sending them to their recipients

That's pretty Ultimate.
