It was a beautiful morning as we drove to work, with great light quality, plenty of potential pictures and a superb sky. Of course, I couldn’t stop to take any of the photos, and I hadn’t taken my camera anyway. I had to drop Julia off at 8,30 and get to a meeting for 9.00 so there would, I decided, be no use for a camera.
As I pulled up for the 9.00 meeting, I noticed a distinct lack of life and cars around the house. The mystery (OK, not much of a mystery) was soon solved by reference to my phone – the appointment had been cancelled by a text in the early hours of the morning.
Don’t you just love modern life?
Later, whilst watching TV, another sad comment on modern life, I saw a quiz contestant who was training for a very unusual job. She was doing a web-based training course to become a professional cuddler.
Yes, it’s a proper thing, with a professional association and everything.
Just when you think you’re catching up with modern life (and I did have avocado for breakfast) something like this crops up. I’m off for my rearranged meeting now, though I may spend a moment banging my head on the wall.

It’s an interesting world out there. Times have changed.
Yes, it certainly is, though sometimes bemusing. 🙂
We all need a cuddle so there should be plenty of job opportunities for that contestant.
I suppose so, but it seems strange to put it on a commercial basis as holistic healing.
Ah! The topics and subjects one can actually get a degree and get paid for are astounding! Hope tomorrow isn’t so much of a muddle, but they do make great posts.
£49.99 for a Diploma, an entry in the directory and letters after my name – why am I suspicious that academic standards aren’t that high? As for tomorrow – time will tell. 🙂
Wow! Now that’s affordable tuition!
It certainly is, though I fear you may be getting value for money.
Aaaaaarrrggghhh
Sounds like somebody needs a cuddle…
