I haven’t blogged for a good few days now and, to tell the truth, I haven’t really felt like it either. I can’t throw in the excuse that I’ve been busy because (although it has been a hectic week or so) I normally find it easier to write something when I’m stacked out than when I’m not. No, it’s been a difficult week for me personally (I won’t bore you with the details) and it is this which has led to my output being more than slightly thin on the ground.
When you have one of those weeks (or days, months or years) you very quickly change your view of what’s important. I try to keep a sense of perspective at the best of times, remember that the world is a very small place, and that my part within it is inestimably small by comparison. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to view the wonder of everything that goes on around me from a position of relative comfort.
Sorry for the navel-gazing, and sorry if you dropped by expecting to read an irrationally tetchy man bitching about the Tories or some such – normal service will no doubt resume before too long. In the meantime, have a look at this and remember how unimportant we all are:
Men In Suits 
WOW WHAT A COOL VIDEO! – AND YOU LIB-CONS CONTROL ALL THAT?
(Particularly liked the mention of Tibet – what an ideological giveaway)
Wonderful, but I don’t like feeling quite as small as that
Sorry you’ve had a tough time. Sympathy.
Many thanks, Caron. Truly appreciated.
OK, this is a political blog, broadcasting your views, and I’m not sure it is a place to allude to more personal matters and yes I didn’t like the connection with your reading of the video, BUT, when all’s said and done, whatever the difficulties you have been having, sympathy from me too.
Thanks. The video thing was just me trying to say that I shouldn’t be too self-absorbed because ultimately I’m really not that important.
