One of those or in front of the lamp a dangling phrase can really obscure the light.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-62665294356502643112013-11-13T21:01:37.862+11:002013-11-13T21:01:37.862+11:00I so understandI so understandDavid Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108095795511002148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-73196629457895670282013-11-13T08:20:00.190+11:002013-11-13T08:20:00.190+11:00Sometimes I found not being disturbed more disturb...Sometimes I found <i>not</i> being disturbed more disturbing than the actuality; I can empathise with Tracey standing by the door.

But if I don't have to drag Tracey in from another room I’ll avoid it. After all there's always an element of self-interest in having my darling come in fresher in the morning than from what’s a more major disturbance. <br /><br />She would rather me wake her. But there's an element of pig-headedness in my actions in cases like this which is nothing to be proud of – a determination to DO IT MYSELF which ironically can produce more trouble in the long run than pressing that blasted alarm. Desire for independence putting life at risk. It's not clever.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-81716203649298464212013-11-12T21:21:30.907+11:002013-11-12T21:21:30.907+11:00You are an angel Den - not to wake Tracey.
