Spirit of the Age (more like ghost in the machine).


Please excuse my last post - made at a vulnerable moment - late at night just after succumbing to a hot chocolate - my outburst was along similar lines to that of the old women in the Monty Python, exploding penguin sketch - I panicked. New to blogging and a busy girl I was anxious to get something, almost anything down in print each day, however, I am now cured of this affliction after the Burma!/Marshmallow meltdown and will only write sensible things.

Which brings me to this. We apparently now live in a country where the one political party (don't care if it's true blue or red wedge) is critisised for publicly critisising the policies of the opposition party. Hello? Isn't that the point - I mean, the clue is in the name - the 'opposition' party.

This morning at church we were informed by the minister of the 'baptising' of our new font. The last one was marble and rhomboid in shape. It stood for 40 years in the centre of the 4 aisles - with the seating behind it at a slight incline. It had to be removed, you've guessed it 'for Health and Safety purposes' being a hazzard for small children running down the incline without brakes. One can only hope that future generations will be fitted with said brakes in utero and that our current trend for obesity is in fact an evolved bounce enhancement device.

Whatever!
