It can just depend on our mood. Also it's sometimes more fun to do 'grumpy' rather than 'contented' — and it may raise a smile. A bit like how, in literature, the bad and evil guys are often more compelling than the saintly ones.

You made me chuckle. I've been grumpy for many years now proving that you don't have to be an older person to be a grouch. Fancy making a similar couple of lists now.

Bring it on that's what I say though...that may be a phrase you don't like... And meant to say too, that your poems in levure litteraire are so so good, one of them in the same style I think - so impressive when it seems you can't find any more words, you do. Why is this list so much more interesting than a list of things you do enjoy? Could be something a bit off kilter about me, but I'm going to celebrate that - and bias too which has been getting a bad press somewhere... maybe I should write something in the same vein but doubt I could do it so well..dritanjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025213970107184429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-83242235498829412172014-12-07T15:54:01.537+00:002014-12-07T15:54:01.537+00:00Oh dear.
