Paris

My heart hurts for those in Paris.

My hope is our reactions will not be those that the terrorist were hoping for.

Well that's sorted then, we're all heading for growth.

more people relying on food banks, more private profit makers in the NHS, more inequality, more profits to govt minister friends and families, more disabled people killing themselves, more homeless, more national debt (check out the ONS website), more tax cuts for the rich.

The witches were powerless, the wizards debated various options but without a result, feegles unable to find anything to steal that would hold back the inevitable. Vimes had the watch post guards and The Assassin Guide hid in every shadow but death had an appointment to keep and nothing could delay it. The loss was ours to share.

RIP Sir Terry

Happy New Year Everyone,

Here's hoping it is year of positive change, more equality, more peace, more selfless - less selfish, less greed, less war, less hate, less hunger....lets hope.

Yesterday I needed to be somewhere but I was unable to go.

There has to be someone, at some point in your life there has to be someone who has an affect.
It may take years to realise who they were or are, hopefully you discover it was them while they are around.

But there has to be someone to influence who you are, to set a standard, an example.
Someone you want to be worthy of, who you use as a measure - a yard stick.

There has to be someone who by their acts, words or values makes you see the meaning of being true.
They may never know that they were the one, the someone, that gave you an insight to the real meaning of being human.

Being strong but not brutal, caring but not soppy, true but not rigid, faithful but not dogmatic.

Yesterday I needed to go to the funeral of my someone.
The headmaster of my primary school passed away. He was a true giant of a man.
The kind of headmaster they don't make anymore.

Not a manager with his eye on league tables or kpi's.

Every autumn he helped the kids plant daffodils around the school grounds so they could see that what you do will have results.
It was up to you if the results were positive or not.

He taught us lessons we never knew we were having - integrity, strength of character, honesty, passion

He remembered all who he been at his school years after they had left and grown up

My reason for no making it was one I know Mr. Jones would have understood and agreed with. But I wish I'd made it.

Yesterday I needed to be somewhere but I was unable to go.
