May I say how very much I like my friends? Would that be too daring? I shall see both episodes of Dr Who. This is like saying "I shall go to the ball!" There will be a micropause while I make Tardis noises.

Micropause over.

The thing is, I shall see the episodes next year. In 5769. This made me realise something important: I was born in 1961 and it's already nearly 5769 and I still haven't acquired any wisdom.

How do I know I haven't acquired any wisdom? Well, I warned my family about the Conflux speech and offered to let them preview because it touches on stuff that may worry them. They said they could wait. I immediately wanted to sneak scurrilous family stories into it, since they won't know till too late. The trouble with having attained my great age is that it all becomes too much bother, so I shan't. Laziness trumps the need for wisdom every time.

I so seldom post about sport. You do need to know that my team won the Grand Final. And that I'm visiting my cousin tomorrow and she supports the other team

Now, all say after me "Carn the Hawks!" Don't worry if you're reading this in the US and it makes no sense. In fact, think of it as fair trade for the mysterious messages that emanate from your corner of the world round Superbowl time.
