Peter C Byrnes "Killing Time" PDF

We all do it … that is kill time. In various guises and for different reasons we do it regularly throughout our lives. The older we get, the more scientific…the more practised…more serene and less physical the methods are to kill time.

Be it that habitual morning cuppa shared with like-minded persons at the favourite Café or the intimate sharing of views in the ‘Secret Men’s Business’ meetings in an organised ‘Men’s Shed’ atmosphere…or the ‘Women’s Weekly Club’ Meeting or the many organisations that take on volunteers, usually retired people with time on their hands and a willingness to help anyway they can…just to kill time.

There are countless such Associations, all meant to draw older people out to socialise…to partake…to enjoy for no other reason than to fill empty hours. To make their lives more fruitful…more satisfying.
