A mind is so easily lost

Mine wanders off all the time, especially when I'm driving to work in the morning, relaxed and ready to face the day - ho hum.
I enjoyed John Scotts column, yesterday I think, where he noted that we can always expect the same annual events, the minstrels will threaten not to march and Zuma will get married again. On Sky news countdown for the year they spoke about an annual event that everyone looks forward to, George Michael being arrested in public toilets. I wonder if they have a GM squad?
And I listen to music.
As an aside, I always wondered why we're not supposed to start a sentence with the word and (Sandra??)
This week in the car I'm listening to Deva Premal, I sing along even though I don't know what I'm saying. In the office I'm listening to enchanted egypt (in lower case), I really love this music, I think it takes me back to a previous life. At home it's Sacred Spirit, another life revisited I think.
However, the festive season wasn't too kind to the love handles so I think next week will have to be more upbeat. It's hard to do the Cha Cha Slide in the car so I'll save Bump 497 for home and perhaps go for Queen in the car and I'll find a perky combination for the office.
And so the mind meanders along until it has to jump to attention at work, past the house with racing pigeons and a superb rose garden - pigeon pooh perhaps, over Harley Street where I would surely live if I was a GP. And the petrol price has dropped.
Life is good.

For what it's worth in an age where grammar, spelling and punctuation don't seem to matter anymore, AND is a conjunction ( or as Std Two's knew it, it's a joining word). It is used to join two words such as bacon and egg, or two separate phrases or sentences together. So when you start a sentence with and, it is not joining anything to anything else!
However, it is fine to start with and if it adds some sort of creative effect to your writing! Which in your blog it did. You are forgiven!
