What made your day a good one?

[Smiffy]

A writer reminiscing about being on holiday as a child,

“The adults had worked hard to create those good times. The food, the activities, the noise, the laughter, the traditions. None of it happened accidentally. They were the ones planning and shopping and quietly absorbing the stress so the rest of us could experience the fun. Things only looked effortless because we were clueless.”

This is as it should be, but sadly, was not my experience. My parents made sure I never forgot how good they were.

That reminds me.

There was a comment from a BBC journalist commentating on the Texas primaries which managed to insult the greatest UK county and a major US state all in one sentence.

Texans are like America's Yorkshiremen, they never underestimate their own importance

Cheeky man.

From the movie True Grit, Jeff Bridges version:

• Mattie Ross: That tastes like iron.
• LaBoeuf: You're lucky to be where water's so handy. I've seen the time I've drank out of a filthy hoofprint — and was glad to get it.
• Rooster Cogburn: If ever I meet one of you Texas waddies who ain't drunk water from a hoofprint, I think I'll… I'll shake their hand or buy 'em a Daniel Webster cigar.
