No Fooling

The Missus was asking me earlier whether anyone had played any good April Fool's tricks at work today. It was the entire lack of any that brought home to me the general sense of sombre sobriety that is prevalent in this time of crisis. Yes, there is humour, of course, but of an understandably more muted variety.

Fortunately on the home front we had the excellent advice of Malaysia's Women and Family Ministry to cheer us up. The thought of Noi (who is, after all, a citizen of that fine nation) imitating the voice of Doraemon to soothe my brow made the world seem a friendlier, happier place, and as for her completing her statements with a coy and feminine laugh... - the mind boggles more than fulsomely.
