A very familiar Market Square…

My knees and especially the right one are playing up to the point that I’m struggling to walk so my choice of what to photograph is getting more restricted each day. I’m seeing my GP on Thursday and after my lecture on how important it is to control my blood sugar I might even ask her to refer me to the MSG for a knee replacement. Not that I really want to go through with it but there’s method in my madness in that there is a waiting list of goodness knows how many years and also the consultant might suggest trying something else like injections which might be free if prescribed by MSG.

So my saying of the day is ‘there’s method in my madness’.
The saying "There's method in my madness" originates from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In Act II, Scene II, the character Polonius says, "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't," according to dictionary and idiom websites. He observes that despite Hamlet's seemingly erratic behavior, there appears to be a reason or plan behind it.
In the play, Hamlet is pretending to be mad to investigate his father's death. Polonius, while initially dismissing Hamlet's behavior as madness, recognizes that there's a purpose behind it. This line has evolved into the modern idiom, used to describe behavior that, while appearing chaotic or irrational, has a hidden logic or purpose says poem analysis. It suggests that even if someone's actions seem strange or illogical to others, they are actually following a plan or have a reason for doing what they do.
