 |   A tentative blog to test the temperature. |

Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Self Quotation My good WdC friend, runoffscribe  , stores his most memorable sayings in a file and shares these occasionally in his Newsfeed. It was on reading one of these that I was reminded that I have sometimes lamented losing most of my pithy inventions over the years through my sievelike memory. I resolved to begin a similar file and did so that very day.As a result, I now have a small collection of self quotes. Although they are not as good as those I have forgotten (inevitably, since the ones that get away are always the biggest fish), they might serve to fill the occasional gap in the blogging calendar with a brief amusement. So, without further ado, here’s the present selection: Be yourself. No matter how hard you try, you'll never be anyone else. Wisdom is a waste of time. There's no money in it. What's done is dung. Death is what gives life its flavour. Writers are at their most romantic when considering their own situation. The cliché is best defined as the tired and true. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Unless you're making cook soup, of course. Caught like a deer in the head lice. They also serve who only stand and wait for you to order from the menu. This is all brought on by Lilli 🧿 ☕  ’s

I've always remembered that episode and thought that was a fun idea.
Quite good is quite a good compliment 
As someone who just reviewed an item in your port, I can't help but wonder, Did I pick an item that you'd throw out?
