I managed to get a bit of time today to finally finish properly the first draft of the latest play. It was then printed off and away we went with the first rehearsal. During the day, I was completely engrossed in writing and as a result I forgot the 2 minute silence today. Should I feel bad that some dead people will not know that I disrespected them for being too overly focused.? It's all a bit too complicated, and is in danger of overstimulating my mind. I AM of course entirely grateful for the sacrifices made by anyone in the pursuit of peace and freedom, and I am not sure I would ever be capable of the bravery shown by, the Dambusters for example. However, I am becoming a little tired of the "Poppy zealots", who on a daily basis, fill up my timelines and inboxes telling me what is and what isn't an appropriate way to honour the dead and their sacrifices. I believe strongly in the right to make your own decisions, and I dislike banning of anything where at all possible, and much of what is printed at around this time of year, seems to me to be echoing some of the words of people we have fought against in the past. I have bought and have worn my poppy this year, but I did so because I chose to.
