In the meantime, I spoke with old friend Beth in Melbourne who just lost her Dad, at 94 y.o. David was an absolutely delightful man. She, an ex Novocastrian, may well return to that neck of the woods eventually as well. So we chatted about how we are both in a place we will move from, but essentially stay the same people, with just different things to do.

So to try to turn negatives into positives, I move to a very comfy armchair, change my attitude, take out from my bag a healthy apple and start munching. It certainly makes things seem a lot different, just by taking a bit of control and not sinking into negative criticism. After all, the girl serving me was really trying hard to please me, she even offered to make me a new hot chocolate which I curmudgeonly refused! So there's my lesson for the day, have the right attitude and all things wil be OK. I'll use that tomorrow with Thomas and see how he turns out, he may even be quite OK, it's not his fault he's burdened with very good looks, is it?
