Sir David's death was a terrible thing but it does seem to me that the media linger on one problem without addressing the fundamentals behind the problem. Protecting all the politicians will be almost impossible, we have arrived at a state when 'free thought' is the norm. The genie is out of the bottle now with social media, everyone has an opinion sadly.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-42727414446024114622021-10-17T22:49:53.884+01:002021-10-17T22:49:53.884+01:00I too have a butterfly mind Thelma.

I have a beautiful brooch my first husband bought me when he saw it in a jeweller's window - not for a special occasion but simply because I have a butterfly mind. But I do think it is important to thinkabout things which need quiet thought - like the death of Sir David Amess this week end and about the 'fate' of Afghan girls and education - I find I can manage it best when I am walking alone on my daily walk.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-1848595308745903452021-10-17T20:27:06.041+01:002021-10-17T20:27:06.041+01:00I suppose you could see it like nursery rhythm mus...I suppose you could see it like nursery rhythm music a simple repetitiveness to it.
