Thanks

In the days when I was chairman of a Nadfas society and it was down to me to give a vote of thanks, I used to latch on to names, facts and individual pictures to mention - it's my experience that remembering and linking a few facts gives the impression that you remember every word.  One of today's slides that I certainly would have mentioned appreciatively was this one.  The picture wasn't quite so full-on, but quite enough.  Hmmmm.

It was a whole day event with three lectures, but I couldn't stay after lunch, as I had to get back to a funeral - not going to say more there, the circumstances were deeply upsetting but I'm an onlooker, not a sufferer.  Then a meeting at the school, I came home tired and a bit drained and seem to have had a couple of glasses of wine without really noticing.  At least the kilo of Montezuma chocolate that I ordered has turned up - although most of it is for Weeza (don't tell her) and I'm not opening it tonight anyway.  I have, at any rate, been very appreciative of my dear kind Sage - not that I needed more kindness than usual, but others did.

Chocolate after all, perhaps?  Maybe.  Although, I also have a pineapple.  Which to choose?  I'm genuinely undecided.  Possibly neither after all.  Who knows?

Back to riotous good cheer tomorrow, darlings.  You get me in every mood, lucky people.  I appreciate your friendship, and thank you for it.
