Thought for today

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Holidays at last

Well they have finally arrived...after waiting eight months I have two weeks off work. So I am off to the land of the long grey cloud AKA Nuu Zulund. This will only happen if I can pull myself out of bed at 4am so I can be at the airport at 4.30am. So far mum has sorted out day one. Dentist at 8am (NZ time) which is 5am QLD time which is a bit cruel but mum has never really grasphed time zones. Then after the dentist I am apparently drenching and innoculating sheep! Oh the memories of my former life and child labour come flooding back.

Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

The 'real' life

“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life.
The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination.
This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it’s hard to remember it all the time.”
