For want of a nail...

...the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail...

My gran had several sayings that she trotted out on appropriate occasions - this was one of her favourites, along with "A stitch in time saves nine... "

A similar message, perhaps ;)  



Mono Monday for the month of August:
ApolloFly and I have volunteered to share hosting for August, and we've come up with the following themes:

5th August - #MM550 - communication / 60plus
12th August - #MM551 - memory / 60plus
19th August - #MM552 - laughter / ApolloFly
26th August - #MM553 - energy / ApolloFly

...so hopefully see you next Monday with your lateral thinking cap on ;)
