    5 Stages of Grief:

    Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
    Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
    Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
    Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
    Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

    Is it about the ancient or modern Celts?

    I'm sure we could come up with a few suggestions here...

    'Huddled as they are now on the fringe of Europe, buffeted by whatever the Atlantic Ocean chooses to fling at them, it is not so easy to imagine that Celtic peoples once lived across the European continent, making themselves as at home in the foothills of the Polish Carpathians as on the dry plateau of central Iberia, or among the cypresses and olive groves of Anatolia....'


    I am a foul lazy slacker for several reasons...

    I haven't got my Lancashire book to a state that I'd be happy to be waving it under the noses of prospective publishers, as I'm at a stage when I really need to look at boring stuff like organising the pages and pages that I've written, combining them into some sort of coherent whole.

    I've left a bookmark sat in the middle of my Spanish primer for too long, too. I've got to the harder bits of grammar, you see...

    I haven't written replies to relatives that sent me useful genealogical information, because I can't be bothered thinking what to say...

    I haven't done various drawings and designs that I promised people either...

    In my defence, I live on a building site and have broken my rib. So there!

    Well when you put it like that

    but take good heed of his tongue:
    the sage and silent come seldom to grief
