“But the real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.”

Laura Ingalls Wilder, February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957.

And a bit of soul … 

Have a good day … !

*        I seem to recall, Trevor§, that the last one I heard of — wherever it was in the UK — was linked to fracking: it was the first time I’d heard of the process.

†        Morning, Mr S§!   Thanking you for looking in.   (Has anyone mention Earthquakes or David Mamet, yet?)

‡        Yes, that’s what I thought when I was writing yesterday’s questions, Olga§.   All those earthquakes on the same day were — in one sense — a godsend.   I’d probably fell differently is one happened around here!   (You know, Glengary Glen Ross is the one Mamet play/fil I’ve heard of: not seen that, either!)

^        I have to admit, Debbi§, Glengary Glen Ross is the one Mamet film/play I HAVE heard of: I’ve not seen that one, either!   He sounds a bit … you know … prolific … !

§        Thanks for looking in, everyone: it‘s always nice to get a big audience!
