On a gagné!

Well, what I mean is "we" won! See, I'm as English as the next French woman when it comes to supporting our cricket team.

Told you something good was going on, didn't I?

Anyway, it was heart warming to see London celebrating, for obvious reasons.

As I was going through to-day, there was something I wanted to share with you...but strangely, at this late hour, it has gone clean out of my mind. I'll replace it with one of the best pieces of advice I have ever read: "Never complain!". Ok, That doesn't mean " don't inform the waiter that there is a hair in your soup"...or "don't inform the bank that they have made a mistake"...
It means just that: do not complain.

I was talking to my friend about this, and commenting that I had never heard him complaining (which is not an exageration in this case, although I do admit to being prone to an emphatic view of reality on the odd occasion), so, yes, I had never heard him complaining, and why was that? and he had this very simple 2 part answer:
1) complaining doesn't solve problems or improve situations
2) He does like people who moan (who does?)
Simple, really...I shall leave myself open to my friend's jokes, but I don't mind, I have announced that from now on, I will not be complaining either.

(Oh, My goodness, that's hard! OOOPPPS!

Hoping you have very little not to complain about, and sending you strength and good wishes to cope with whatever it may be,

Jocelyne
