What I like doing best

“What I like doing best is Nothing."

"How do you do Nothing?" asked Pooh after he had wondered for a long time.

"Well, it's when people call out at you just as you're going off to do it, 'What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?' and you say, 'Oh, Nothing,' and then you go and do it.
It means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."

"Oh!" said Pooh.”

It's apparently "Winnie the Pooh Day"! [Well, it's the birthday of AA Milne, who wrote the stories, but give the mayor of Los Angeles an inch and he'll take a mile...]

Let's indulge...

Sigh.

Childhood revisited.

    I actually met Christopher Robin several times when I lived in Dartmouth in Devon.

    1. Was he still as resentful of being used as a focus of his father's work as he was when he was younger, I wonder? Jx
