Field Into Lake.
Doggerel Dave said:
You get your waders out and are content
That no snorkel by your river is yet
Required; those past days of contentment spent
Remain with MPS without regret.
\'Sorry I\'m late; out for tea.

Yes, the rain is usually wet! That might be a line from a comedy film somewhere.
Hope we don\'t have floods like a few years back.
Nice weather for ducks - and swans!

The process may not be selective but why does it seem that what falls off is just what I need next, and as of yet none of the bad memories have dropped off. Nice write

Do our heads - brains - get bigger (humbly so, not big-headed) with each piece of info?
And does it depend where our brains are? They might be in our....... for some folk. A swoon comes on, and Fido rescues me! lol.

Absolutely Sir – I cannot disagree.
Bits of my memory drop out all the time;
Wish it were selective, but no, it’s scrappy.
It occurs just when coherence should be prime…….

And sometimes problems solved turn into bridges and paving to beforehand impassable and unpaved paths. And the air just after the storm is brisk and clean and clear.

Doggerel Dave said:
A few storms in my life have cleared the way
Sometimes the way proved quite beneficial
Some ways though were dead ends at end of day
Tried again, was lucky; life’s a riddle.
Luck is the biggest component of all in life…… Subject of your next piece, Andy?

A storm occurred as I was on my way to a solo singing recital. A tree blew down and blocked my way. I could not go.
No one turned up for the recital anyway! lol. (They wouldn\'t).

I\'ve always disliked the phrase \"cost of living\", because at what price? You can be paid an hourly wage for your time, but what you do with that time is the key. This is a timely and very thought provoking write dear friend, and I find it a definite fav!

The C Word.
sorenbarrett said:
It\'s funny what is in a word that we can only use the first letter and everyone seems to understand. We live in a censoring society afraid of offending someone, no wonder we don\'t communicate. Mary C. Very clever write.

Do you know Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs?
For Physiological and Safety,
Financial demands satisfied are the seeds -
Those which allow for time and satiety.
Get your dosh first, then you can afford the time... Got enough? You lucky...

Good write Gold.
From millions of years ago - my Primary School Assemblies. We had:
Daisies are our silver
Buttercups our gold
This is all the treasure
We can have or hold.

As \"Mame\" sang in the musical \"We need a little Christmas, right this very minute\". Say it, sing it, loud and clear dear friend, for it lightens our hearts in these times of incredible woe, that incredible \"C\"word.

This is a cheeky one in no mistake -
The ‘C word’ here is not its common use;
O charming Cunt - no misuse can I make,
Not used by me as a term of abuse.

Or the X word - Xmas. Some only use it as they say it saves 2 seconds, rather than writing out \'Christmas\'. But to say \'Merrie\' is just silly, I think!
Btu the \'Church Year\' can include \'9 Sundays before Christmas\' - usually end of October. Then 8,7,6, etc. Arrggh!

CH word would also do! The excitement is still there and the wonderment now shared with the wanderment of many from such a beautiful time of year. Now it\'s diluted, washed down, rebranded, and divorced from something that wasn\'t broken to begin with. Some woke on the wrong side of the global bed.

Oh dear, I had to search for the harpsichord variant and must say I have heard those before. As well as (perhaps rarer) on the guitar. Sir Thomas Beecham is possessed of a sharp witted tongue. Thanks Andy.

The whole not greater than the sum of its parts, then?
I am a musical ignoramus,
Though I still appreciate what I hear;
I hope if we listen you can help us
Find more examples we can revere.
Go Andy, Go...
PS: Loved some of the imagery - a little grouchiness sometimes can go a long way 🙂

A wonderful story. To me a handshake is a sign of respect. I knew a man that on a handshake lost close to a million dollars, no signed contract, no witnesses just his word. That respect for oneself, and others is what a handshake means to me. Wonderful write.

this, that distinction
between those who are gifted
biological mum\'s and dad\'s
and true \'Parents\'!
