There are quite a lot of things in life that amuse me (the misfortune of others isn't normally one of them unless they have wronged me in someway, then I view it as comeuppance), I have just read a book by P.G. Wodehouse (he of Jeeves fame) and it tickled me somewhat, however, after reading it, my language altered somewhat (mostly for the better).
Conclusion? Reading improves your outlook on life as well as educating (OK so the book is nearly 90 years old but I think it still has relevance, well it must do or I wouldn't have had a clue as to its meaning), strange though I read the same book when I was 12 and it took me about a week, this time it only took me a day. I remembered the plot etc but the intricacies and the word play were possibly lost on me when I was 12, maybe I should read it again in 30 years and examine the difference then.
Meanwhile the march of time goes on and I am wondering what happened to my pseudo noble intentions of exploring the possibility of making ice whilst the sun shines, back shelved again I'm afraid, I will be addressing them when finances are more comfortable and my leisure time is sufficiently unoccupied for me to get off my hairy posterior and get the design tools out and stir my ambitions for such fanciful an occupation.
Stay tuned
