Patty – 19th October 2026

A little rain, a little mud
This is what it’s all about

She’s the little one who would
Keep on going without doubt

Inspired/paraphrased from this Peanuts strip (which I now want to read more of, thanks to this article)
Coincidentally, last night, while trying to get back to sleep after Tigger continually waking me to eat, my nostalgic mind (far too nostalgic recently) replayed a lot of teenage memories and about 95% of them occurred outdoors and 0% of them featured rain. Has my memory made England more miserable than it actually was?


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Good Habits Drive Out Bad Habits

With a bad habit revealed
Counteract with commitment
Don’t keep the good concealed
Let it be your equipment
