I have ambitions in that respect again. Good for Scottish Fuels. There's still a lot of kindness about.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-26308403806249695102016-01-17T21:23:20.443+00:002016-01-17T21:23:20.443+00:00Please excuse the reduction but - for a reader - t...Please excuse the reduction but - for a reader - the point of this blog is that I enjoy reading it.

Your description of the purpose of the blog is so accurate; that is how I view mine. It is a thing I do and have done for over six years now. In fact that anniversary just passed as I remember one year, to commemorate it you wrote a lovely guest post for me! Do you recall?! I like that we have this record and that it brings what it brings.

You felt that Bowie understood. I feel like Tania understands. Tania understands bereavement, Tania understands the joy of small things, Tania understands the shitty committee in our heads, Tania understands why almost every Saturday I end up in tears of joy & love whilst watching the racing. And that is only the tip of the iceberg!

I am sad to understand that there was a time when I was so over-wrought (self-involved, clueless) when I barely took notice of pure goodness. Now it is a holy thing. Thank you and keep cozy. khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310842800084345728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-514184597042164342016-01-15T22:20:55.551+00:002016-01-15T22:20:55.551+00:00Lovely record of a lovely gesture.

He was so right. Not the best start to a year by a long shot - thank goodness for Tim Peake.

No "hidden agenda(s)".<br /><br />Too many people I didn't know but loved for one reason or another (not a big Bowie fan but there seems to be at least one song from almost every album that marked a significant point in my life growing up! I fell in love with Alan Rickman in Truly Madly Deeply), too many creative, brilliant, inspiring people are dying. Too close to MY age too! That's always unnerving!<br /><br />Pat (in Belgium)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02367089351412953926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-62425772306712685652016-01-15T19:12:38.439+00:002016-01-15T19:12:38.439+00:00Very glad you wrote this - not only for yourself, ...Very glad you wrote this - not only for yourself, but for me too. There is so much bad news these days, from war and corporate nonsense to corrupt politicians and in the US Donald Trump (OMG), that I am deeply grateful for being reminded of kind human beings and companies that treat service as serious business.
