Magnanimous or Cruel?

Just wondering what the buzzword will be for 2007. I like magnanimous:


1 : showing or suggesting a lofty and courageous spirit

2 : showing or suggesting nobility of feeling and generosity of mind

and will try to fit it in wherever possible.


Oh, and here's a quick pic of a new coat I got in the sale in Carlisle, where Geoff and I went yesterday for a nice day out. (It goes well with my new scarf, eh?)



And with regards to cruel, you be the judge....which was more cruel: leaving the Tabasco sauce out for Mae and telling her repeatedly and strongly not to eat it, rather than just putting it away and removing risk, or taking the time out to take this photo after the fact???


It looks cruel, but she had ice-cream for supper, which she thoroughly enjoyed after a few minutes. Poor wee thing!

You truly are a lofty and generous woman and it would be the utmost in magnanimity to offer me the coat which goes so well with my scarf that you are returning. As for cruelty, I would have to say it is most cruel, on the verge of bullying in fact, to taunt others into magnanimity, using your wit and humour, for which we all know you have an unfair advantage.
I remain, madam,
your humble friend,
Sharon.

Funny lady! This is the the year of battling- battle of wits, battle of bulge, ba'le of lost consonants.
