A big AMEN to Annie for what she has to say about the upcoming "anniversary".

I have the sinking feeling that a lot of the media stuff for this week is designed to whip people into a frenzy of the same emotions they had last year.

I have decided the best response for me is resolve. Think Battle of Britain, women walking among the rubble of their houses to get to the shops to get the small amount of rationed food available to them for their families. I suspect they didn't spend a lot of time in omphaloskepsis. Since we have the luxury in this country at this time of actually being fairly assured we can keep body and soul together, we expend a lot of energy on emoting. And sometimes, emoting without action is pretty paralyzing.

sorry for the rant. I'm just getting fed up with not being able to turn on the weather without being reminded of how 'everything is different now'

Finished the right front of the Landlord cardigan last night. Just the sleeves remain, and I will do them two-at-once.
