Hold your counsel, what not to talk about.

Quite interesting that in Masonic circles you are advised not talk about football, politics or religion,  just a shame the same does not stand in public life.  I have previously said that the miner's strike split families as well as destroyed friendships, and looks like the current political goings on in both the UK and Scotland are also doing the same. Enough said as the damage has been done.

Still under the weather compliments of the flu virus and pneumonia, so social activities put on a hold till I feel a bit brighter,  although hopefully we will make it to New Lanark Mills next week for a wee break and rest (And maybe a wee glass of something red if antibiotics are finished).

Our house guest,  Lily the Labrador, is still with us , probably for another night's doggy B & B ,   she has been no bother at all, good company, and despite what a lady said down the street when she got a fright and barked, she is neither a demon or dangerous dog!!!   Might clear a low table with a wagging tail, but nothing more.

On a more serious matter, the solo terrorist attack in London last week, which caused the death of a Police Officer and four innocent members of the public,  an incident of the type so difficult to counter  of deal with.    For a number of years at the BNI meetings I always finished with the comment," it is not a case of if, it is a matter of when, so be extra vigilant ",  but do people listen, do they hell.
