I managed one exercise in the yoga class today which involved standing on one leg, and I did it!! (Not very well, but I didn't have to put a hand out to the wall.)
Mind you, I mustn't appear too happy at home. The filter in the washing machine has seized up and the other half is very upset. It would be heartless of me not to grieve with him in profound sympathy.
This means getting a new washing machine. When we were last there some years back, the White Goods department of John Lewis on Saturday afternoon was a surefire place to see gay couples nesting. We will be there again.

What's the source of your current signature? - sounds like Hooker, but he was a highly sophisticated thinker. Bit early for Samuel Johnson.

It's Milton, Don. 'A Treatise of Civil Power in Ecclesiastical Causes'.
A little private joke (as my signatures usually are).

Thanks, tin.
Once I can think of Milton's verse as baroque - (the poetic equivalent of Monteverdi or Handel) I quite like him. But needless to say I'm not enthusiastic about his religion (the present neo-con Republican party at prayer stuff in the USA can be seen as in a direct line of descent, in all probability.)

I feel remarkably cheerful after spending two and a half hours gossiping over one cappuccino in Costa Coffee. It was almost like being in Vienna. Then I came home and read The Pedantry Thread and laughed a lot. The What's that burning thread made me laugh as well.
I'm very easily pleased.

I am also easily pleased. I've just seen a squirrel in the garden and I'm happy, happy, HAPPY! The rain has cleared up so my washing can be hung out for a while at least. What a boring, little saddo I am. I'm happy though! |

Nice to see the Happy Room back on the front page... Glad you're happy Milly, and you too Mary, after your glum time a couple of weeks ago. I'm in the middle of a crisis on the soon-to-be-ex-husband front, so don't really belong in here...I should be in "Meeting Life's challenges etc " thread, but haven't the spare energy. Keep smiling, you happy ones xx Jan xx  |

Although it's drizzling now, it was supposed to be miserable all day, but this morning was glorious: the cameras even had a little outing at last...  |
