I do like a laugh :)
Thing is, so much humour seems to be at someone's expense, and then I just don't find it funny. So I often get my joy from wordplay. For English A level, we studied Sheridan's The Rivals, with Mrs Malaprop and her misuse of words. Like my son, I enjoy a good anagram that's funny (who remembers "flowery twats?"). And yesterday enjoyed a cracking company name on a van down my street:
Weed it n reap.
There were also some sad changes I discovered yesterday. The people I've trusted my money to for over 20 years were in need of rescuing and I didn't know. I only briefly heard a bit of news about it so I'm not much clearer now.
And my favourite local path, full of twists and unexpected vistas, has been bulldozed into a wide straight road. Again, it's too late, nothing I can do.
I'm saddened by both discoveries but I'm not going to invest any emotional worry into either situation. They have already happened,and my experience of unplanned change is that there's no point wishing I'd made more of what I had, that I will still be fine and will just have to seek out the new opportunities for joy.
Hope you find something to like in whatever comes your way today :)
