BLOGGING FOR LONDON

This is city

I feel my cold retreat and I'm starting to feel better so, taking a bunch of pages to edit, I went forth to my nearest city square. I found air clean enough to smell the bluebells through; quiet that allowed me to think; trees feeding off the light.

A punctuation advisory

The latest punctuation advisory from The Guardian (no comment from me: I post it merely to amuse).

Thoughts on having a head cold

I have to say that in one sense I am quite liking this head cold. It is allowing some much needed head (i.e. thinking) time so maybe (some) viruses are functional in terms of human health (I'm only suggesting . . .); another thought is that to accept them (in stoical manner) may make them a bit less virulent.

Now that my cold has confined me to my habitat, as a curious side effect I am discovering (or re-discovering) that boredom really does feed the imagination.

Espy, my wondrous little second cat, is 4 today. I might post a birthday pic later.

This blog's owner . . .

This blog's owner is suffering from a heavy head cold (but not flu you'll be glad to know). Be careful out there. I have a feeling that designer face masks might just become an instant trend.
