I’ve done it again. Not long to midnight and I started reading instead of writing. At school, they said I could do better. That is the one thing I have preserved from youth, I still could do better. Actually, as the promised Limerick will show, I have also preserved my love of a smutty joke.
Last week . . . something happened. Unfortunately, as I wrote “Last week” I forgot what it was. I don’t usually lose my thread when I’m sitting at the computer, so I am clearly losing my marbles at an increasing rate.
Give it a few more years at this rate and I’ll have to tie an address label to my wrist so kindly strangers can return me to Julia when I forget where I live. The only problem with that system is that it’s open to manipulation if she puts someone else’s address on the label . . .
I have 102 words left before I hit my self-imposed minimum target, though I usually find that mentioning it is good for another twenty or thirty.
The major discussion at work today was over the question of when W. H. Smith, the well known stationers, became WHSmith. The decline of punctuation in High Street chains (and I’ve certainly covered it before in relation to Bettys Tearoom (sic) ) is mirrored by a continuing decline in standards in public life. That’s why we now do our online cake shopping at Mrs Botham’s – if she has a proper regard for apostrophes, I feel she can be trusted in the matter of comestibles.
If you can’t trust therm with punctuation, what can you trust them with?
Memory is the wellspring of our lives from which all things flow. The clean, cleansing waters of the past as we recall it bring forth a necessary cooling effect to the hectic heat of our lives. Massage your memory and let it grow. There is no conflict between memory and the spiritual life; big parts of our memory will reappear in dreams and gain renewed life and importance.

May you always find your way back to home. If you were a cat, microchipping would also be a possibility. 🙂

As a very untrustworthy person with erratic punctuation habits, I can confirm that your suspicions are well justified.

It’s named after my dog…who cares

A fine book. 🙂
Now that, indeed, is the question! I might just have to quote you on that one.
