It’s easy to go to the newsagent and buy a card.
All it takes is a short drive, a fiver, some quick words and a smiley face or big fat X at the bottom.
Effort = 5.
One can reduce the effort output by phoning, texting or sending a Facebook message.
One can increase the effort by driving further, buying a fancier card, writing on both sides or doubling the love at the bottom.
It must be noted that at all times thought = 10.
However, there comes a time when 10 + 10 = feels very special.
It’s glittery. It’s made from random scraps. There’s lots of colour. Nothing matches. There are no rhymes. There are few words.
It’s home made.
you bloody ripper!

Perfect timing. Just about to head out and buy a card. Instead, I’m going to find what I have and spend twice as long making my own. I think I’ll have just as much a YBR time doing it as the person blowing out the candles.
