After the gales and torrential rain yesterday it is hard to believe that it is just before midnight and I am sitting in the Study without a light on able to see well enough to type this.

LIFE
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )
But what are plans other than more restrictions? (With thanks to Pauline)
