-ve Priming: An e.g. of what not to do

I really shouldn't say "crap" first thing in the morning, 'cos it means that later at 12:20pm, when I realise that I have clean run out of time and I have one more stanza of the poem to go, that is the first thing out of my mouth.

Then I hear a ripple of not-so-whisper-like-whispers... "I can't believe Ms G said "crap"!"

You're slowly letting go. Ever so slowly.

Just drop in to say "Happy belated Birthday!". Hope this is not the reason you've stopped blogging?

PS: I happened to read your last year post. Not ask me how.
