Catch Up



2nd

Today 1882 the birth of Irish writer, James Joyce

Not a shred of evidence exists in favour of the idea that life is serious


Sometimes it feels pretty serious!!!
Ps I tried to read some James Joyce and just couldn't get into it. Any advice on what to try

3rd


In 1809 the birth of German composer Felix Mendelssohn

Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge



I tried to forgive someone who was really unkind to me once, but deep down just couldn't and still hope that what comes around goes around!!

4th

In 1913 the birth of America’s Rosa Parks, the mother of the civil rights movements

In the book of life the answers aren’t in the back

Where the hell are they then?

5th

In 1919 United Artists, the pioneering American film studio, was launched.

Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative


Hum, depends how you feel sometimes


6th & 7th


In 1685 James II of England and VII of Scotland succeed his brother, Charles

The first wealth is health
I must be bad cos I want the first and the second
