Low threshold

I'm not against sitting in a darkened room feeling sorry for myself, but I can't tolerate it in others. You feel like the world's against you? Wow, it must be tough being so important. The building containing the flat you've bought as a second home isn't being serviced by the residents' association committee to the standard you expect? Wow, that must make you really angry.

Life is neither fair nor unfair. No-one owes you anything. Trying to get healthy doesn't mean you will get healthy.

A 419 e-mail arrived for me today. This one's got a funny twist. The money's being offered to me to use "for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows".

You have to laugh at that one.

I'd decided to eat something close to proper food tonight. The packet of Quorn fillets suggested browning the fillet then cooking it in a mix of vegetable stock and pesto before stirring in creme fraiche. It was okay. Given it took only 30-minutes: okay is good.
