With Spring in full bloom now, it's a real kick to have enjoyed the flurry of warm weather we've had across the British Isles this past week or so. We've seen a considerable drop in temperature over the past 24 hours, but a return to the heat will be welcomed by us all in time for this friday - April 29, 2011... it's a kick to think we can enjoy the first royal wedding in some years now. There's much excitement in the air and most importantly - it's good to see people coming together to celebrate... that's what it's all about.
There's little that hasn't already been discussed about Will and Kate's big day; so I'll close simply by extending my best wishes to them both and hope they enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.
On a very different subject, this afternoon - I encountered another example of how even in a highly developing technological age, standards continue in their downward trend. A Worcester Bosch boiler was the case subject... and the issue - inferior quality parts. The boiler leaked over several hours, some 3 or 4 mugs full of water. I called for the engineer and hopefully the problem will be fully rectified by tomorrow evening. It's a pity though that in this age of outstanding technology - products are still falling greatly short of the mark. It's time to raise the bar again and maintain it... I've always thought that Robert Browning put it very well: "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"
