Nothing New today so here's an older piece

Nothing New today so here's an older piece

Sunny in Birmingham today, so had a lazy day.

Windows 10 April Update takes 8 hours too.

I did have an idea for a story.

The thief, the old lady and the girl with a scar

and I thought a bit more about it and could have written it down

but sunshine beckoned, and arthritis descended again

https://www.churchservices.tv/churches is a good site if you want to see what CatholicMass

looks like, choice of 40 churches I think. I really enjoy it, as I am a catholic, believe it or not.

I image all Faiths could do the same, simple great idea.

Later today we binged on K drama

So that's my excuse  for not inflicting another story on  you all.

I did get an email out of the blue from a singer's website so I've sent her some poetry, an if

she uses it maybe I'll get Royalties. on verra as they say in France.

this is from 5 years ago

I haven’t written a non-pain piece in a while, so I’ll try and forget the pain and write something new. We’ve just had the half time holidays and my girls have been playing “shop-girls” as they call it. They even have a sign on their bedroom door saying “open” or “closed”. They steal my wife’s clothes and prance about upstairs. Our eldest daughter has bigger feet than my wife now so that’s a relief as she cannot steal my wife’s shoes any more, but it does not prevent her younger sister from wearing mum’s shoes. There is also the matter of the beret with silver sequins, that’s an absolute Fashion Must.

Me, I’m not fashionable at all, three girls in the house is enough, if I gave in to them they’d be beading my eye brows, I do wear pink on occasions, so that’s as far as I go. If I were maybe 3 stones lighter I’d try other things, I did see a nice cord jacket in Cotton Traders 48R, it was bright blue, Kingfisher Blue, my girls called it a “Clown Jacket”. With encouragement like that what am I supposed to do? I did say if I win Euro millions I WILL buy the jacket. My wife has a nice light brown one, although as she is a woman there will be a more accurate colour name, men don’t do colours. If you think of it its black and white, blue, green, orange as far as men go, but women at least another 40 names for colours. As far as my hair goes, its silver, though a friend used to say I was an old man with white hair. As the colour of our hair change it’s the 7 ages of man.

I remember Ali saying why wasn’t it “Whitemail” instead of blackmail. We are in the Pink if we have good health, I long to be back in the pink myself. We say we hope be back in the black not in the red when we do company accounts, we look for the silver linings. We look look look for the rainbow as the song goes, we may find the crock of gold, all our troubles may be over and we can pack them up in the old kit bag. Hope springs up within us, it is now Spring after all, and as Chance the Gardener said “in the Spring there will be growth.”
