When I was One
I had just begun.
When I was Two
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly Me.
When I was Four
I was not much more.
When I was Five
I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I’m clever as clever.
So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.

In politics, many believe the worst epitaph is "loser." Some are not strong enough to cope with defeat.
Jimmy Carter lost an election and spent the rest of his life settling conflicts, conquering disease and building homes for the homeless.
He was in every way a winner.

Have been thinking all day about this interview I did with Margaret Beckett (nearly 10yrs ago) when she talked about going to the D-Day 50th anniversary as Leader of the Opposition. Have never forgotten it, because the memory quite suddenly and unexpectedly, reduced her to tears.
I knew about loss of first PS Waverley, with great loss of life, at Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo but didn’t know about this role in Operation Overlord of the canal boat yard at Kelvin Dock. Moving to think of those returning to those beaches in these small Maryhill-built ships
One of Glasgow's most tranquil beauty spots performed a crucial role in producing landing craft for the historic D-Day assault

June 1993 and the government is beset by crisis and sleaze.
“If we were to offer that tale of events to the BBC…I think that the producers of "Yes, Minister" would have turned it down as hopelessly over the top. It might have even been too much for "Some Mothers Do 'Ave Them".
Very sorry to hear this afternoon that Eamon Fitzgerald was laid to rest in Glasgow today. A local Labour politician when I knew him and gifted academic but most of all an unfailing kind and thoughtful man who always had wise advice, and a smile for the turn of events. 🌹
