Hello!
I have worked out it is Wednesday so I thought I had better do a quote. I never know what day of the week it is between Christmas and New Year.
My chosen quote today is by the American author Nora Roberts (1950).
“Nothing ever seems too bad, too hard, or too sad when you’ve got a Christmas tree in the living room.”
Nora Roberts

Hello!
My chosen quote today is by one of my all time favourite authors, Sir Terry Pratchett.
This quote is from his book Thief of Time.
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”
Terry Pratchett

My chosen quote this week is by the German-American writer Charles Bukowski (1920-1994).
“We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorised and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
Charles Bukowski
