Post Truth 3- this weekend

The poor old man is still not feeling well - yet, he is waking up to the fact that there is no where to go - hopefully, he will be awake soon and we will experience less up and down.
I am on my way too.

This weekend, I strived to be pragmatic.

We had a repair event this weekend. Few people came over to get their item repaired. We received £40 of donations. The repair event only happen once every 6 weeks, it is a great opportunity to learn something, have a nice chat with people and get something from home sorted. We started to work on my laptop. We took all the data out for me to transfer on another device. We will work on it at next event on the 25th March.

I had few pieces of fabric to deal with at home. I have made 4 dolls, two juggling balls, a bracelet. I started cutting off some felt to make some pads.
I cooked, cleaned, prepare myself for the week to come.

Hopefully, it will be a good week.

The Whys, the Hows and the ongoing tension the participants of the research experience between what is currently seen as an ideal behaviour and their own provide the reader with a mirror to reflect upon their own working or non-working situation. The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
