Time on the Hillside
Time and I sat on the hillside, enjoying the peace of the summer time. Above was only placid blue, and Time, apparently at ease, had laid aside his scythe and sat contemplative, a smile of contentment upon his face as daisies and grasses grew about the scythe, partially concealing it. Truly, we had not a care in the world, and Time was a cheerful companion, for he would laugh and make jokes and tell such wonderful stories of what was and would be.

Very sad to see Andrew Strauss retire from cricket.
I first saw him play in person back in 2005 - at Old Trafford against Australia.

I always felt like the batting order was in safe hands when he walked out to open, too - he led from the front. End of an era.
OMG I hope no one was rude to you. David you are a sweetheart sadly some are just jerks and will always be. Just know there are some of us out there who send you positive thoughts and Hugs! Princess and I understand. Take care OK.
Thank you :) This is a really nice message, I appreciate it :) It’s nothing that’s really happened today..more of a slow build up from something a while back..and just disrespect when politeness costs nothing! Some people are just that way, I agree - eapecially when they think you need them. Oh well. Messages like this show that most people are not like that though, so I am happy :) Thanks again :) Give Princess my regards!
Not cool.
It is true, I think, that to make progress in life a certain type of ruthlessness is required. You have to grab opportunities at any cost. However, people are still people, and, in my humble and ultimatey meaningless opinion, people deserve respect. Treating others like absolute dirt because you think you are “on the up” or inexplicably superior, or that you are the one that they need and you own the breaks is just..wrong, and disgraceful. Courtesy costs nothing and takes no time....
