There are no bootstraps any more

 It is those bright scary summer days that all fear are here to stay now that is blowing its warm air and shining its bright sunlight in through open verandah door. As it is morning, the temperature is not yet unpleasant. The beginning of the month was cool, but now it is getting warmer all the time, now that the longest day of the year is past.

Things are not good and not so pleasant. There is the distinct feeling that things need to be done but that the strength and the reslove to do them is just not available. It is sad, but we all get older, and loneliness is taking a bite out of what should be happiness.

Breakfast is a high point of the day, always followed by an indecisive low. It should be possible to get out and do some work of some kind, but it is hard to lift oneself by ones own shoelaces.

There are no bootstraps any more

They seem out of fashion.
