Well, dear me, a lumpy day today. Herself is still with her family so I’m on my own. Up at 5 o/c this am (that’s usual) got the morning papers at 6 and drank tea / read papers for a while. Then off to the Village - so nice. The people are so nice to me. Then two long phone calls from (literally) old friends asking for my help / advice / w.h.y. about stuff. So that was nice too - and I’ve spent a bunch of time creating a PowerPoint Video Presentation for one of them. ‘Cause he can’t do it himself.

Watched the Qualifying for F 1. Looking forward to the race but Herself is having lunch with Mum and won’t be back here in time. Oh well.

I shouldn’t show off, but one of my old friends said such a nice thing about me:
You’re a person who lights up a room when you come in - not because you have left.
What a lovely thing to say.

Well - off to make supper but here’s a thought:
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end they wouldn’t reach a conclusion. So who said that?

And my thought? Why not be nice to people - they may have had a really horrid day in which case you will bring them pleasure. If they’ve had a good day - they will share their pleasure with you.

Sleep well, friends - Dad
