Dog and I confined to barracks in sympathy with Dog 2 who has been under the knife and had the snip. Few more days and we will be liberated. Meanwhile, had cause to re-visit a favourite quote which for general edification I reproduce here, mildly edited: "The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." (Goethe) Onwards and upwards it is then.
