Ahh... That's where I went wrong. I didn't realise Buddha was in charge of the karma. (Seems obvious now!) I made my complaint to the universe.

Sometimes it's a crown, sometimes a halo... sometimes it's a bejewelled coronet that I stole off TJ.

Stole?

You haven't quite got this Karma business, have you...?



Or do you mean it's a stole? (Though it doesn't look like one of those.)

How do you know** that this isn't the first sign of the imminent arrival*** of Christmas 2012, Py?







** - Okay, as you noted, it is happening in Devon....

*** - In the shops, that is. (It'll soon be elbowing aside the hot cross buns.)

I second that emotion!! I'm sure a daily dose will do you so much good. (Hope you're feeling better soon.)

I can't complain too much, our (Oxfam) Christmas meal is Thursday.

The powers-that-be just like a quiet time to thank us.

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Congrats to Parson, Alc & Mouse for your respective new arrivals!

Perp & Ace - hope the late Xmas parties are what they should be.

For me:

I've got the ALL CLEAR!!

After 13 years of having greater and lesser brushes with one form of the big C, yesterday I finally got the letter to say that I no longer have to be checked annually. I didn't realise the amount of background tension I carried until I didn't have to any more.

Happy days!!!
