On being sour….

wine

Continuing (just) with my notion of ‘Bah humbug’, I found this on http://wesroberts.typepad.com/Â and I have been using it for a while. It is an Italian proverb:-

“One barrel of wine can work more miracles than a church full of saints.”

And I humbly suggest that if you find that offensive…..then perhaps you need to find more joy. As another wise proverb goes:-

‘You catch more wasps with honey than with a brick’

Happy advent…

Hi Graham. This comment isn’t related to your post. I just wanted to say thanks for dropping by my blog today and leaving a comment. I’m pleased you found Jemma’s post useful. Good to see we share a lot of movies and music in common.
Take care
Paul
