It’s a while since I was in Dublin, but I heartily approve of anyone who wears the green on St Patrick’s day. Be proud of your heritage I say. I fly the flag for St George myself. Nothing like Guiness in an Irish pub. It doesn’t travel well. Cheers Tom. Have a good day.

A great moral tale, Tom (and I nearly missed it!) Never have I understood those who remove themselves from immediate reality when out there either via your phones and/or the additional mobile phone...
Some of the streets I\'ve walked down during a long and chequered life needed 360 degree awareness in the here and now.....

So glad you are hearing the world around you now Tom, it is surprising how much joy you can get from listening to life around you.
Keep listening.

I love this telling of your \"aha\" moment, and how you gained a new perspective on the sounds of life. On my early morning walks I\'m privileged to hear the first bird of the morning, and slowly the whole chorus chimes in, it\'s magical, and I understand your joy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece, I enjoyed it so very much.

A new world for you, outside your earphones. So many wonderful sounds you could have missed out on. I like to hear birdsong, laughter, children playing, church bells ringing, trains rattling by and buses halting to pick up passengers. So many sounds to enjoy. The earphones would make me feel isolated. Great write Tom. Lots of imagery. Have a good Thursday.

Your walk without earphones turned into quite the adventure! It\'s amazing how a small change can lead to a whole new perspective. I love how you captured the transition from frustration to appreciation as you noticed the sounds and sights around you. It\'s a beautiful reminder to embrace the present moment. Great work!

Awesome write Tom. The music of life can sometimes be so beautiful. Like the deaf man who can suddenly hear. So much we all take for granted Tom. 🤔

Ah haha!! Perhaps the anorak was the cause of the rash that caused the visit to the doctor that caused the visit to the chemist that caused the... rain? Hmm? Your post made my day! Thanks!

Doh! Which is it to be - chemist or doctor first?
They say chemist can help with lesser ailments, and to try them first sometimes.
I shall do a one-liner poem of the same title, with the following words......came to take me away! lol.
So... if we want to know the weather, visit the chemist!

Neville said:
white coats used to be our compulsory uniform but are no longer required or necessary ..
I think it was all the jokes & jibes about the men in white coats that sealed the fate of em .. I don\'t even wear a suit to work these days ..
Anyway, this was great, a real fun filled poem that got me going no end ..
p.s.
Tom no p.s .. Neville 😎👍

Doctors aren\'t supposed to put you off like that, your pharmacist is correct that your doctor should be a professional and prescribe medication that your pharmacist can help you with. If everyone does their job, your rash will be a rash of the past. 😉👍

Angry customers storm
to the bar, waving their
hands in frustration
saying they\'ve been sitting
at their table for an hour
and nobody had been
near to take their drinks order
Are you sure you weren\'t on Italy? lol 😆

My guess is their business won’t last much longer. Entertainment of a different kind. I think leaving was the best thing you could have done Tom. You penned a good read out of chaos.

Luckily (because it\'s the only one locally) my Indian is great - does wonderful vego dishes which suits me just fine.
However, your piece here made me laugh with recognition as I did experience a very similar joint while on holiday a couple of years back at the Taj Mahal* in a town I shan\'t name to protect the guilty.
*Not its real name
Good write, Tom - but I don\'t want to hear of it again.....
