Thank you for the kind words. As you'll know by now I'm given to occasional bouts of melancholia (the phrase 'revelling in it' has been used before now). Sorry if I startled anyone.<BR/><BR/><B>Ms. Scarlet</B>: Phone bills are good kindling, too. I think you're right, I need lots of toast. Ta for the tag.<BR/><BR/><B>gd</B>: I found that those magnetic knee-pads you see in the Age Concern catalogues were great for degaussing PC hard drives when your IT section tells you that you can't have a new PC because that one's perfectly adequate. These days I'm on laptops, which precludes their use. As for Keats: it's easy to be sanguine about the damp weather when you're up to your gills in non-prescription drugs.<BR/><BR/><B>Ellis</B>: you've hit the nail on the head.

And reading Keats might cheer you up a bit - apparantly he still loved the "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" even when coughing his guts from consumption!Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-27120674415615241582008-10-22T01:23:00.000+01:002008-10-22T01:23:00.000+01:00I find that gas bills burn a treat.I find that gas bills burn a treat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-19958285573167344642008-10-21T23:41:00.000+01:002008-10-21T23:41:00.000+01:00Well, yes . . . it has felt like we've had no summ...Well, yes . . . it has felt like we've had no summer.
