Duty

Satisfaction

Whenever I’m in Dublin I buy a pair of socks. Sometimes I buy two pair of socks, although I don’t really need new socks.
It’s a ritual that gives me great satisfaction.
After buying my new socks I feel as if I have fulfilled a duty.

I empathise with you. After a long period of procrastinating the purchase of socks I buy too many, these days. Mostly packs of seven pairs in all colours. I had a pack on my desk for a few months without wearing a single pair.
I sympathise with you (empathy is not my strongest point). Little rituals, habits, tics, etc may brighten up one's daily life. I only purchase a bunch of socks however once the holes actually start multiplying. Naturally mine are more boring than the ones in the picture.
these socks are beautiful.
To add something even more trivial to this discussion: I believe I have not worn socks for at least a year. I think maybe in September I will have to wear socks again.
My daily duty is to arrange my house and the office.

A very important duty indeed.

To what extent do you consider maintaining a blog and responding to comments as a duty and which are the actual feelings resulting from this communication service?
Sprokel
It's more a pleasure than a duty.

Thank you for the clarification. As a mere outsider I agree that Juliane is a pleasant conversationalist.
I bought two pairs of socks today. And two t-shirts as my others are filthy with sweat and sunscreen.
€2.50/pair.
