Today is looking like it is in danger of becoming a Record Breaking Day. Viewing levels are just shy of the highest daily total achieved since this blog began. If you can’t manage to hold yourself back, your activity could push the blog over the edge!
I’m not sure that I could bear the excitement. I’m not naturally inclined towards too much jollity and fun and, well – imagine the scene if you made me happy! It’d be a tragedy – right?
So, if you are reading this – back away slowly – I’m a man on the edge. Any sudden movements and my poise is done for. Easy now …
Thanks for your kind consideration.

LikeLiked by 1 person
You make an interesting point. If a sentence is food, then which parts would be the protein (the muscle), which parts the minerals and vitamins and which parts the fat. I reckon the adjectives and adverbs would be the fat – good in small doses (for flavour) but harmful if there is too much. What do you reckon?
