Walking along streets yesterday it was quieter than usual - save for the people asking for money who seemed to be around in even greater numbers than usual. Perhaps that's because people are more generous to them at Christmas so they're all out - or perhaps it's simply because they've got fewer people to ask. Alas - it turns the city we're in from somewhere to say "Wow - I want to come back" to somewhere to say "That was an interesting place to visit".

News just "heard" via email this morning that the senior man at our accountants went missing about a week ago - story from paper. I'm all at sixes and sevens over this. His car found on a major estuary bridge; reports of someone climbing over the side; I would be delighted but- frankly, surprised if he turns up alive.

Yesterday also brought a personal "hit" from Lisa's ex. There are some people who do well by climbing on merit, there are others who do well by trampling others down as they climb - by fighting to get more than their fare share of the same cake rather than working to improve that cake for everyone. Personally, I think it's a really dirty trick to .... oh - never mind. It's Christmas ... and this is "only" more money this time.

We have a good, dry home. Health, happiness, work we enjoy, great family and fun. If you - EVER - see me behaving like the accountant, like the street people, or especially like that ex, please pull me to one side, remind me of this post, and tell me what a huge mistake I'm making.
