Perfection, communication and persuasion, Christmas and fish

I don’t expect perfection in life. I always manage my hopes downwards. But why can’t manufacturers of bath mixer taps include the sweet spot between the water being too hot and not hot enough?

The difference between communication and persuasion is telling people that there will be enough vaccine to go round for everyone who wants to get vaccinated and saying that some people must go without because demand exceeds supply.

 

It’s no accident that fish is eaten during Christmas in many countries – you believe it is good for you but you can never relax until you’ve swallowed the last mouthful.
