Reasons to be cheerful as the song goes…
I managed the crossword in record time today- admittedly the easy one. The cricket has gone well and despite the squally weather the West Indies have gone down to a record test defeat.
The Rainbow Alliance remains a strong possibility.
The Hay Festival is in full swing.
But perhaps what did most to raise my mood was a youth in Aberystwyth finding a purse full of cards and cash in Eastgate and immediately handing it over to the Mayor of Aberystwyth who was passing by, easily identified by her chain of office (only in Aber at 11pm on a busy Saturday night in the centre of town would the Mayor be wearing her chain of office — why I am not sure). A distraught girl was swiftly found and her mood as swiftly changed…
Reasons to be cheerful lots of them!
