Just been asked whether I would like a nice cup of tea. Have you ever wondered why nobody asks you whether you would like an ordinary or a nasty cup of tea? For some reason cups of tea are always designated as nice.
Which brings me on to one of my pet hates - the use of degrees of uniqueness. There are no degrees. Something cannot be completely or totally unique or almost or nearly unique. If it is the only one of its kind it is unique. If there is more than one it cannot be unique.
All this must lead you to think that today has been pretty boring. Not so. Spent the morning organising an opening ceremony for new play equipment on Hethersett Memorial Playing Field next Wednesday. Being a trustee of the playing field is another of my functions and an enjoyable one at that. Trustees look after the field and 2012 promises to be a bumper year for events - more of which later. We are trying to make the field one of the hubs of village life.
One of my ambitions this year is a minimum of 60 visits to the gym. Today was visit five so any more visits in January will be a bonus.
Now excuse me if I finish reading Are We There Yet by Ben Hatch. It's an enjoyable book about his family's 8,000 mile journey around Britain. Oh and it must be time for a nice cup of tea.
