a warm fire

…on these cold winter's nights...and for once the south coast is colder than canberra; perhaps there's a lot of hot air coming from up there in capital hill...

a macabre quote came to mind…

terry pratchett, 65, an english author of fantasy novels who is suffering from alzheimer's, who plays video games (half-life 2, thief…), and who wishes to commit 'assisted death', once said: 

                   'give a man a fire 

                                      and he is warm for a day, 

                           but set a man on fire

                         and he is warm for the rest of his                                                    life.'

keep yourself warm, won't you?...whether with a cuppa, a cuddle, smiles, a book, fuzzy feelings, firewoods...
