Easter Sunday
The author of an article in yesterdays Times wrote that some (daft sounding) chap suggested that people could be happy if only they behaved more like dogs. What? I thought; crapping on pavements and sniffing other peoples bottoms. Count me out.
There was an article about a couple who had moved to the country. They had two children, a boy and a girl, called Song and Otter. Parents have a lot to answer for; how to blight your childrens lives from the day they are born.
Watched the second half of Persuasion which was shown on telly last week. There were a lot of gulps and looks and folk not saying what they ought to. Has life changed that much?
Have resumed walking through the woods in the early morning as it is now light enough to do so. Birds were singing loudly. Reminded me of committee meetings where some talk to the exclusion of others. The others get a word in only when the talkers pause for breath. Chairmen are often ineffectual, in my experience, and lack the firmness needed for efficient meetings with everyone being given time to speak, and the agenda completed. A benefit of retirement is that being on a committee is no longer obligatory.
Thought for today
The fundamental defect of fathers is that they want their children to be a credit to them.
Bertrand Russell
