It was one of those days were any plan that I made was immediately eliminated by the fact that Mum was sick. She finally succumbed to one of the many bugs that are going around. And trying to get her to sit down and relax became a full time occupation. Eventually she went to bed giving me time to clear some of Bloglines. But not before she sorted tea, did ironing and a hundred other things that I or my brother could have done. She should take tomorrow off but I’m not sure I have the energy for that particular fight.
My brother brought up an interesting proposition today - what about running a business together? I’m not sure if it’s genius or if he’s had a knock on the head. Either way it’s something worth looking at.
And it was a slow news day. The only thing I saw that made me actually stop and read it was a piece saying that if you exercise, eat the right amount of fruit and vegetables, don’t smoke and moderate the amount of alcohol you drink you can add up to 14 years to your life. And all I could think was that quote by Clement Freud yes, I googled it.)
“If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.”
although I have no idea where I know that quote from…
To finish this post off - two pictures. One that made me smile…
And one showing my current mood.
Does this explain things?

Nice blog! So you’re thinking about going into business with your brother, huh? That could be interesting!
I’m sorry your mother wasn’t feeling too well and my goodness! You definitely need a little sunshine in your life right now! I hope tomorrow is better and that this week brings you something happy and exciting.

kapgar - I miss my old Commodore 64 so much! It was always so reliably unreliable… and being able to write programs on it that filled the screen with messages!
10 PRINT “HELLO WORLD!”
20 GOTO 10
Oh the hilarity!
Sincerity - Hello! Welcome to the (slight) madness!
The whole going into business thing may end up being one of those ideas that filled in half an hour chat things -but it could be good. We’re penciling in some time to talk about it at the weekend.
Thank you for your hopes re Mum - all good thoughts are welcome!
