Long time readers of my blog (yes, it has been quite a long time, hasn't it?) will know how sparing I tend to be with references to what constitutes 'news', and today I'm giving particular thanks that I already have more worrying future scenarios to deal with than most people so that I don't really have that many brain cells left to devote to what others think I should be thinking about, let alone thinking what others think I should think... But for those who still want to think about it, I give thanks for finding a different way of looking at things to share...

I give thanks I managed to hobble into town between the rain showers and resting my aches and pains. I give thanks for remaining relatively philosophical when something kind of crucial wasn't in the post I went to collect, because let's face it - it's all pretty relative isn't it? Even what we class as 'crucial'. I give thanks I've managed to cobble together a second post after one of the day's multiple clumsinesses resulted in deleting the first one.
