The joy of spring
The woods have come alive. Trees have a green glow. Footpaths have dried out. I went for a walk this afternoon and for the first time this year without a jacket, it was that warm.
This morning I took bedspreads and curtains to charity shops. There is still too much stuff in the house. I decided, as I trudged down the hill laden with bedding, that my sofa and armchair must go. There isn't enough space for them, and I don't like their colour (faecal brown). The next decision is how to dispose of them. They are still in good condition in spite of being 25 years old. (One careful, light-weight lady owner.)
Here's a snippet that made me chuckle. It's from this week's Hospital Doctor.
... the latest HSCA council meeting saw some pretty lively debate on the subjects of Modernising Medical Careers and the recent white paper on medical regulation. While all council members seemed pretty miffed with the Chief Medical Officer for England's ideas on regulation, some tried to say it was too late to do anything but try to improve the existing proposals. The debate reached a climax when one bellicose member, perceiving a timid response from his fellows, claimed that such actions were akin to 'polishing a turd'. There's a special white paper for that. It comes in rolls...
Thought for today
A house is the single biggest purchase that most of us will make during our lifetime ... yet most people will spend considerably longer choosing the destination for their next holiday than ensuring their family's most valuable asset, and their possessions, are adequately insured.
