Wot no central heating?
That does take some beating:
Gas oven substituting -
Climate change not reducing….
Ok if I term some of these insertions of mine \"mock quatrains? Alternatively , you could consider them a pioneering attempt to extend the form........LOL!
Evokes terrible memories of my childhood until I moved to the Australian tropics aged 13!

I don\'t know how long a business had been open - probably since the Stone Age - but I read a notice including: \'Staff shall take it on a rota to collect buckets of coal for the fire in the winter season. And ask permission to use the (outside) W.C.\'. Brrr!
Even - pencil sharpeners are available upon request to the Office Manager.

Here all must be happy you found your way:
Wish it could be the same for everyone;
For some not possible at end of day -
Those without access to a race well run.

A friend invited me to a carol concert. he and his friend were singing in it. I could not make it. Just as well, as I may have started singing and ruined it for them! lol.

Cooeee, Gold. How\'s the day been? Now a song - arrgghh! \'Now the day is over\'.
Sang it at Primary School, sometimes as a class before the school day ended. Probably started me off singing! heehee.

What could be better at the end of each day than reflecting on how we spent it, and how fortunate to have had it. Beautifully written dear friend!

And therefore what else need to be said?
Here’s a day complete unto itself.
Also nothing there to do with pelf -
It’s peace and tranquility you spread.

All snowed up?
So I see….
Need a cup
Of whisky?
Don’t bother to send me that whisky you promised, Andy – you need it more than I do….

orchidee said:
It\'s that thing: \'Some may think there\'s a hurricane tonight; don\'t worry - there isn\'t\'. The famous October 1987 words.
Only about 10 more days then it starts getting lighter again.
They used a lot of grit for when it was 40C maximum in Summer - remember that?
How was weather in the Dinosaur Age for us two?

It\'s awesome!
I just hope it\'s not just a muddy sludge by the 25th
(and now that we\'re out of the eu
they won\'t charge us a premium
when we inevitably run of salt and sand...)
but great memories for the covid generation kids
i\'m happy about that!
(a lovely read Andy, thank you!)

And It Snowed.
Bella Shepard said:
I love, love, love snow, so thank you for this lovely poem. I must have been around 5 yrs old, and I can remember getting up one Christmas morn, rushing to the window, and seeing no snow. I was crushed. So far winter in my part of the world is not cooperating, so I will enjoy it through your words.. Great write Andy!

Doggerel Dave said:
I hope you understand I am going slow.
Not interested in snow, you sound keen though;
No point in pushing a very long rhyme -
\"I’m going outside and may be some time.\"
Captain Andy Oates, your sacrifice means a lot to me.....

So true, but as they say; we are only as old as we think we are. Age is in the mind, but the body reminds me sometimes that certain things are no longer possible. Yes enjoy life for what it is. Lovely write.

Doggerel Dave said:
Pleasure at your leisure sounds good to me;
I do what I can with what I’ve got left.
Now I’m free of surgery on my knee
I’ve no intention of doing bereft…..
Bill Haley? - now that takes me back.... Thanks Andy.
