Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday! Taylors of Harrogate's "English Breakfast" tea in my mug and a bowl of muesli with yogurt and fruit to get me going!

About the "squat toilet"... I read somewhere that the bone structure and/or muscular system of a Westerner differs a bit from those of an Easterner, so people from Europe/the US have difficulties squatting, while we don't

I think it's more about habit. It's not all that difficult to learn to be comfortable with that position, it just takes practice. But I see here in Japan that it's being replaced with western style toilets everywhere, and my wife tells me that it's now something that teachers are instructing elementary students in its use as a 'cultural and historical' part of the curriculum!

I always thought that marriage automatically put a ring though men's noses. Why have one on the finger?
There is a famous poem, "A Marriage," by Robert Creeley, that begins...
"The first
retainer
he gave to her
was a golden
wedding ring.
Pretty weird, eh? It's not a 'comfortable' poem... Think I'll have another cup of tea.
