But then, on the 13th February at 12:03 a man was there, covered in blood and holding a gun aimed right at heart, and he would not disappear until his job was done. (less)

Time

This month's blog on my website (www.mollyarbuthnott.co.uk) is all about time- why do we never have enough of it. Would we be more productive if we measured our time differently. What actually is time?

Do have a look- i'd love to see what you think!

Quotes by Molly Arbuthnott  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Paul wasn’t too sure about a half nibbled peanut, quite some parting gift, he thought.”
Molly Arbuthnott, Peanut the Hamster

“If you’re ever stuck for an idea try eating a peanut.”
Molly Arbuthnott, Peanut the Hamster

“Peanut was a hamster. He was furry, had four legs, a big tummy and his favourite food was, you guessed it, peanuts”
Molly Arbuthnott, Peanut the Hamster

“Those who fly solo have the strongest wings!”
Gandhi

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations
