Mr Neville One a day is an elderly gentleman who is tough and finds the changes in life hard to swallow. He continues to persistently walk around life in pain but finds it hard to change his daily schedule which is rigid and persistent right up until the last detail. Each day he continues to go through the same routine, waking up, walking to the post office, complaining about the weather, going to the same restaurant and ordering the same meal, walking back home, complaining on the way home how his knees always hurt, but refuses any kind of medical help. Cooks dinner at the same time each night using very bland food materials with no flavor and puts no milk in his tea. He turns on the radio because the cable is full of stupid people and listens to his show at night and sits next to the fireplace burning the one log a day that he is allowed to burn. He goes to bed at night and takes his one glass of water out of the tap and sits in his bed reading a book entitled, the joy of atonal music score composition whilst listening on his record player to organ solos of the 1930's. He is a gentleman who does not want to change his lifestyle and would rather suffer in abject poverty then being helped. Always ready to moan about life to people and his ever suffering health issues which he refuses to take better medication for because he believes there is nothing better then a spoon full of cod liver oil because that's what we used back in the day!

Matthew,
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating these fantastic characters. I wonder do you relate to one of them more than the other and if so, why?
Actually I would say that I can relate to both of them. Before I started to get healthy and take my workouts and diet serious I would relate to the first guy, stuck in the past, using old and out dated methods and just constantly unhappy about life because I would just give up and stop working out and eating healthy.
ReplyDeleteSince making changes to my diet and health and the way I workout, I have become more like the second character, meaning that I am more happier in life and feel much better. I have also been using updated methods when it comes to taking vitamins, such as the gummies instead of the cod liver oil tablets which I dreaded taking, and getting out there and researching more healthy and updated ways of keeping myself healthy and fit. I am glad to say right now I am certainly enjoying life more since getting my health back on track through diet and working out and it has given me more energy, a better job and more emphasis on getting the most out of life each day!
Thanks for your clarifications, Matthew.
ReplyDeleteYour creativity has been a gift to this project! Love those descriptions of your characters.
