If I Forgive You...

...
A few months back someone asked my forgiveness. Who isn't important. It's not anyone I know via the internet and it's not a friend or family member. This person "stepped on my toes" in a business/professional sense. At the time it occured to me that in asking forgiveness this person was more asking for me to ignore the fact that something unnaceptable had taken place.

Forgiving a person who made a mistake, and is genuinely sorry, is a wonderful thing.
Forgiving a person who merely wants their mistake to be swept under the carpet... is not.

So, I wrote this below for all those people who say they are sorry when they really are not. Who only use the words "I'm sorry" as a way to avoid dealing with the problems they've created.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't mean I didn't care or wasn't hurt.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't change the facts.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't mean I now think I'm to blame.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't mean I'm weak.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't mean you now can take advantage of me.

If I forgive you...
it doesn't mean you have the right to do it all again.

We seem to have signed up with the Cheshire Cat ISP company. Lately our Internet connection keeps disappearing... then returning. Sometimes the gaps between are seconds, sometimes minutes, sometimes hours. Last week we lost connection on Wednesday and got back online Friday night!

This weekend it says I'm online, but then I can't open any web pages.

Then it says I'm offline and I am offline. Then it says I'm offline, but I'm still able to read the Internet. Then I'm on, but I'm not able to receive or send emails....

The telephone engineer is coming out next week to check everything properly. Hopefully we'll be back properly then, as this constant vanishing act is driving me crazy.

Gosh...

I just realised I haven't been here in over a week! It's just hard to find anything interesting to write about when you're home recuperating from surgery and pretty much doing nothing. My biggest excitement in the last 4 weeks is that I went to the supermarkets last weekend.

So... life is moving slow here. Autumn is moving slow too. So far September has been warm, sunny and as lazy as I feel. ;-)

Bunny boy has been back sleeping under his favourite barbecue. Since he's so big now it's a bit of a squeeze. I have taken a few photos, but since my computer crashed in early August I still haven't had all the software re-installed and one of the things I need to put back is the photo software. At this stage I can't get the pictures onto my computer. :-\

For now I can tell you that Bunny Boy is bigger and has developed a taste for rye bread. We throw him the crusts and sometimes, as a treat, he gets the odd slice of brown bread. Given the choice, he prefers soft bread and leaves all the crusts. :-)

Last weekend we went for a walk and picked bramble berries. I made two apple and bramble crumbles. The first one we had with cream, the second one with custard. Nothing beats eating something you've picked yourself!

Sand on a metal plate vibrates to sound. Amazing. :-)
