If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Friday the 13th. In Italy, it is Friday the 17th that is viewed as unluckly. One possible explanation is that in Roman numerals 17 is XVII, which is an anagram of VIXI, 'to have lived', and by implication 'to have died'.

Took my lovely mum out for lunch to Harvey Nichols in Leeds today. I'm so rich and posh, it's hardly fair. I think I'll browse the internet for a bit for hyperbaric chambers.

Thank you so much for referring to it as Harvey Nichols and not Harvey Nicks, so common!
An afternoon's shopping in Leeds is not complete without one of their sirloin sandwiches on foccaccia.

I had smoked mackerel and Swaledale on multi seed. Cheeky trip to Jo Malone and some pink Marc de Champagne truffles from Charbonnel et Walker. Parked at The Light - £8.30! Having oven chips tonight.
