Nangle Natters: Laugh it up

T he giggles. They’re the best. And for some reason they seem to turn up in my house with the sunshine. That happy-tired feeling that allows me to practically fall over laughing as I contemplate what blowing my nose might sound like when heard from outside of my head.
I do think the longer days mean that the world can seem brighter in more ways than one. Even if it’s raining, that coseted cosy blanket of navy darkness has yet to arrive. It’s not night time, which means that period after I leave work and before I have to think sensible thoughts about dinner and bills and how to change a duvet cover has yet to arrive. Giving free reign to silliness, the possibility of drinking in daylight hours, and simply space to mull over the minutiae of the world and its ridiculousness.
There are lots of things to be serious about at the moment: the future of the NHS, the constant attempted nullification of the horrific plight of refugees, those bills that keep turning up on Facebook as being ‘slipped through’ parliament. So when you do get the chance – seize the laugh.
