Hav­ing one of those up and down week­ends is good for the soul. Keeps the blood pump­ing too. Makes you feel alive. And all that.

A two-day anger fes­ti­val (fam­ily mat­ters) came to a head ear­lier, and I am glad that order has been restored, and all par­ties involved have been put in their places, and […]

I’ve just had one of those rare days where I com­pletely lost my temper.
