My friend Richard from Bristol and I don't have talk daft at times. He always swops words for something that sounds similar. Of course you are expeced to work out what he is talking about with any clues. Like the time he called me up and told me his broad beans were not working? (Broadband), or Nutros Ceremide (advertising jargon which is completely made up...i.e. now with Nutros Ceremide. Complete rubbish really. But one of our funniest was the fact that come this time of year we often are on the look out to see if the Croatians are coming up in the front garden. (Crocuses).
Last week I had to make the walk between our West End office and the Mayfair office and had to pass by Berkely Square. Looking down at the lush green square, there they were in Purples and Yellow, pushing their way through and a sure sign that spring is finally on its way after what seems like one of the longest winters ever. I have had the heating on, albeit at lower heats non stop since October. 6 Full months of winter.
With all of the doom and gloom that has come since the economy turned sour in September with the collapse of Leahman Brothers, the winter seems more grey, dull and depressing than ever before. Lets just pray and hope that this year is a nice and warm summer. Even if the economy is miserable a little bit of heat and sunshine can go a long long way to making people smile. Till then, try and smile a little today. Remember it burns more calories than a frown and is infectious at making others smile. Lets all smile today and do our bit for making it a more cheery day!:0)
