“Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

These words were written by W. B. Yeats around 100 years ago and have a new poignancy today as we come out of a global pandemic and find ourselves witnessing the first conventional war in Europe this century - one that could even conceivably go nuclear. In the year that we have seen the end of longest reign in English history and the shortest premiership ever! In this edition, we focus on the nearer future. At least we can be sure of today! 123 in improving your relatIonships as guided by Sadia Khan. ABC - arthritis, addiction, breast cancer and non-Covid-related deaths that have increased alarmingly. Cancer, of course, early for ovarian and then in our regular feature ‘Yes to Life’. A first for Football - as seen by psychiatric nurse John Sheldon, in his first ever book. Alcohol-free drink that you can make yourself at home or buy across the counter, seduced by the advertising idea ‘All of the fizz. None of the hangover.’ This reminded me of a classic cartoon where a long-suffering wife asks her incorrigible husband what he really wants out of life, to which he replies: ‘All the puddings I can eat, without getting fat!’ Time to get real, dear reader. Certainly not time to catastrophise. Time instead to absorb good information and modify your behaviour for your own benefit and the benefit of those around you. To hope for the best and to be careful where you put your feet - or your vote!
