I sometimes think I'm a bit daft.

(A bit? Who am I kidding?)

I bought a book before Christmas, and still haven't read it, even though I'm aching to. It's the last book in the Tales of the City series by Armistead Maupin.

He said there would be no updates, and his much loved characters would be left suspended in the liberated environment of San Francisco in the nineteen seventies. So this is a real unexpected treat for his fans.

I might read it on holiday, or I might savour the anticipation for a bit longer. I don't know.

But what if I drop down dead?

I'll never get to experience the joy this book would give me.

Perhaps I should read it today, and re-read it on some future 'rainy day'.

I have a dear friend who once gave me some good advice. Telling me never have anything 'for best', but use things everyday, be that clothes, glasses, or dinner plates.

Anyone else keep things unused, waiting for that rainy day...that might never come?
