Happiness is ....

In the last couple of weeks there has been much talk of the government trying to measure whether people are happy. Reasonable enough given that success criteria in the past seems to only focus on wealth. However yesterday showed me how fragile happiness can be.

Firstly I've gone down with a Man Cold. I've spent the last 36 hours sneezing and blowing my nose. Put mildly it's made me miserable.

Then on Saturday afternoon I watched Arsenal go from 2-0 up to lose 2-3 to Spurs. Black mood, anger, repeatedly asking the question how? It's the first time that Spurs have beaten Arsenal at Arsenal since 1993. Well that's not long enough for me.

Later today off to AFC Wimbledon for the game against Kettering and the Silent Auction, my main fund raising event of the year, it seems that after expenses we should top £2000, which is very good given the financial situation in the country.
