The Lady of Shallot is at the weekly Bitch & Stitch craft meeting in the Nelligen Hall, and I'm enjoying a quiet afternoon by the river; just me, cheese, Retsina, and Radio National's replay of Late Night Live. Life couldn't be better!
What with the Coronavirus, floods and fires, a looming recession and a stock market crash, the war in Ukraine, petrol and power prices going through the roof, and worries about China invading Taiwan - have I left anything out? - there isn't much to be upbeat about, but the grass is still green and the river still flows on.
If things get too bad, I just shut the gate and turn off the radio and hope for things to get better. "Tirra lirra, tirra lirra:" Sang Sir Lancelot.
