I gave up taking photos on holiday when I realised that, not only was no-one else interested in looking at them, but that I myself never did so and on the rare occasion when I framed a photo, it did not look as good as I remembered it.
In latter years, true to my rubric, I copy down inscriptions and quotations instead. I am very fond of reading memorial tablets in churches and cathedrals, and also the list of abbots or priests of the same.
Here is the quotation I copied down this week:
"A patient man is more excellent than a strong one; he who governs his mind is better than he who conquers a city".
Aelfric (955 - 1022) Abbot of Cerne Abbey, Dorset.
This I will take forward as I return to the stressful work situation which has made me ill.
