Sorry I’ve been neglecting you

On the iPod today: Pink raise a glass – I used to not really like this song, but it has grown on me and now it’s one of my favourites

I have been neglecting my blog lately because again I have been very, very busy but I can now tell you my secret mission! I am leaving my job. I am changing career and it’s scary and exciting and a bit sad and lots of other emotions. I also have exams again one in three weeks and another the week after so it’s been all go! But I will get back to regular blogging activity as soon as possible.

But enough about me so how’ve you been?

I read a quote today which made me smile:

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

This is nothing special, people are always complaining about the youth of today except that this is from 399 BC. I think maybe our kids aren’t actually any worse than the young people that came before them.

I have been trying to find a reliable source for this quote but it seems it was either Socrates or Plato so pick your favourite and go with that one…

Hope you all have a good weekend (when if finally gets here!)
