Overwork, stress, modern life, out of the now.

We live in a world, she tells me, where “nothing is enough”. Driven by debt, we need to work harder all the time. Crushed by overwork, our relationships begin to break down. Robbed of the healing balm of relationships, we become more and more insecure and exhausted. More and more exhausted, we become less efficient at our jobs, which makes us more insecure, and so on. In our heads, we are always thinking about what’s just ahead rather than what’s happening now. “We are out of the now,” Bunting tells me, “which is an exhausting place to be.”

An hedgehog that ain't got no sharp bits

Posted on March 25, 2009 by Duncan Toms

He looks like a Clanger only not so coloured in.

…

We caught a hedgehog once, a spiked one. On a fishing line. By mistake. Inexperienced fisherboys were we, and left the rod outside the tent, with a worm the fish never ate still on the hook. Come the morning, the line is trailing off into them bushes! We follows it and what do we find? Not a sneaking land fish but a poor hedgehog who has swallowed worm, hook ‘n all. Oh no, it’s so sad, poor little blighter! There he was all rolled up and experiencing a hook inside him. Mum, Dad, what can we do? We snipped the line and hoped for the best. Later the hedgehog had scarpered. I hope it lived.

I like the name hedge-hog.
