Why do people get angry?
Thursday, November 18th, 2010I read this week that “The UK government is poised to start measuring people’s psychological and environmental wellbeing” (all papers & the BBC website). At the risk of doing two Meldrews out of three can I suggest that people would feel less irritated in their day-to-day lives and therefore more likely to feel happy with [...]

Moved by the events of the day.
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010Sometimes this blog gets personal, no apologies. It has been an emotional day, hopefully this will serve as a reminder of the passing of a lovely man. If I had heard John Rutter’s hymn”For the Beauty of the Earth” before I was not aware of it. I will always associate it with Llandaff Cathedral and [...]
