"Five factors of a well-spoken statement are: Spoken at the right time. spoken in truth. Spoken affectionately. Spoken beneficially. Spoken with a mind of good will."
I'm hoping that if I apply all these factors to a request for tea in bed tomorrow morning, even when it is my turn to make it, that I might be successful.
I didn't go for a run yesterday, so the training for the Duathlon still consists of one moonlit jog with Spook. I do need to make a little more effort at the weekend. I have a lot less time off just now, so if I don't manage a jog and a cycle on a weekend off, it will be very painful when the day arrives.
It was a beautiful day today and I had to drive up Loch Ness-side. The lochs were like glass and the roads quiet, so it was a very enjoyable part of the day. Spook drove down to Dunkeld as part of HIS working day, after a working stroll through Leanachan Forest, so he was feeling quite good with himself too. Both children are in very good form too - they just need to study the five factors of a good statement when communicating with each other and things will be very smooth!!!
