It all started at the weekend when our Jo rang to say she and John were going to Majorca for a week - the next day. She wouldn't usually have a problem but Peter, who would have been there looking after the dog and the 3 cats, had announced he was staying at his girlfriend's parents' house as they were going away and she didn't want to be alone.

Right, says Jo to me, the neighbour is going to come in several times a day and feed the cats but we don't know what to do with Travis, the dog. He's not up to date with injections so no kennel will take him and he can't go with Peter as Clare has a dog and Travis, a big soft, loving lump with all humans (except postmen whom he regards as cannon-fodder), hates other dogs.

After reading some of the back copies of the blog...my goodness you must've been bored!

Having said that I re-read my back copies......and I know what happened, but they still make me laugh sometimes and make me cry other times(must be getting soft in my old age).

Jen was asking what happened to my short story.....well, nothing.....I sent it off and never heard another peep.
There was only one prize and I didn't win it........so I guess my writing wasn't so crash hot after all.

I have let one or two folk read it(well, I know I posted it on here too) and the few who read it told me that they had enjoyed it...well, they would say that wouldn't they?
They aren't going to say 'Margaret, that...

Nothing interesting, just a quick thought I had that I don't want to forget and I can't find any paper.

Do principles or absolute morals have any place or meaning at all? How can one set a principle or absolute moral when there is so much unknown with regards to our own existence? We may not be totall clueless about our past, but the past shows us that we are most certainly clueless about our future. We cannot possibly predict what state our race will be in in one hundred years time. Can we really set absolute morals when we aren't aware of all the constants? Surely, everything must be somewhat relative. Obviously there will be general guidelines that seem to be the right choice in most situations, but they cannot be used as absolute...
