Damn, Damn and Damn.

Earlier today I was feeling hot under the collar about damn bureaucrats, damn politicians, the damn corporate world and all the other damn bozos who are running the damn country. So I went for a walk and took the route that runs alongside the field where the sheep are.

I heard the different voices of the individual mothers, and watched the lambs racing to answer their calls. It made me smile, and smiling is damn fine therapy.

Did you know that there was outraged reaction among cinema goers when Clark Gable uttered the famous line ‘Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn?’ It was considered quite a naughty word in those days, apparently.

And then Mrs Thatcher came along, which encouraged us all to become practiced in the use of rather stronger expletives.
