Participation by accident

I’ve been reading the newspapers from the centre forward to the back page and then from the centre backwards to the front page. I find it helps to give me perspective amid all the doom and gloom of the initial pages.
    There can also be a lag in reading the front pages. Today, for instance, I got to the front of Tuesday’s Daily Mail, which told me that NHS wanted a minute’s silence @ 11 a.m. on that day.
    I realized that I had probably joined in inadvertently by still  being busily, and silently, engaged in doing the puzzles on the centre pages at the appropriate time. Funny how things work out.
