That Creation.
Doggerel Dave said:

Had to get the ice cream van out by eight.
This week I’ve really had a lot on my plate -
The Greensleeves tape finally had enough,
The fridge broke down; the week had been quite tough.

But the ice cream was excellent, Andy – I HAD some in spirit. Thanks.

Worth waking up for though Andy - finished ice cream takes no note of time.

Ice cream was created from a dream! Well I guess all inventions are in some way or other birthed in dreams. :-)

Smoke Filled Days.
John Prophet said:

I remember 65 years ago I was at a Bruins hockey game with my dad. We were sitting up in the nose bleed section. I just remembered men buzzing around down below and a heavy smoke cloud hanging over all. Cigars and cigarettes everywhere. Years later taking my son to the same arena for a Celtics basketball game the air was clear and clean….

Smoke Filled Days.
Neville said:


I too occasionally hark back and hanker for a crafty fag (that\'s a cigarette folks) for anyone unfamiliar with proper old-fashioned English :)

Smoke Filled Days.
Doggerel Dave said:

Irony substitutes here for the smoke -
Hides the disaster that lurked in those times.
How was it I survived and did not croak?
I committed those self inflicted crimes.

A nice piece of recollection I remember too well, Andy.

Back To That Time.
arqios said:

Beautiful connection Andy, falling back in the fall and falling into caring and living with esteeming our surrounds. Thanks for the shared sentiment. /Rik.

Back To That Time.
Doggerel Dave said:

Never was such a time I’m afraid, Mate.
Know what you mean, and it’s nice to think so -
But respect was enforced, that was your fate;
Life was ‘nasty, brutish and short’……You go…

And anyway, in Oz our clocks are going forward – So there! 🙂🙂

(Agreed -situation crap right now...)

Fishermen\'s Friends The Musical.
Doggerel Dave said:

Envy is a terrible thing;
I’ve got a large dose of it here -
I need some consolation…..
And you don’t offer me a beer?

You are very lucky people - I love what the FFs give .

In the possibly vain hope you haven’t arrived there yet Andy, I give you Emmet’s Place. Here’s a sample:

Deeds Of Love.
Shetonya Latryce said:

Love it! I believe word is bond but more than that I believe it is what you do that leaves the lasting impression so I agree deeds are the best way to mesh in love and friendship.

Deeds Of Love.
Doggerel Dave said:

Words are cheap it’s said -
Deeds the better fare.
Yet words can destroy
So handle with care.

Even so, you have it at its core, Andy.

Cygnets At Rest,
Bella Shepard said:

What a wonderful walk you must look forward to each day. You are indeed fortunate to behold such a beautiful sight. Maybe we can learn something important from those swans, just to stop and be at peace with the world we belong to. A lovely write my friend.

Cygnets At Rest,
Fay Slimm. said:

A wonderful sight to behold - swans are such a gift to our need for nature in these days of indifference to life.

Cygnets At Rest,
Doggerel Dave said:

How do you know that one’s Daddy?
Mum out on the razzle dazzle?
Too many questions here Andy;
How does Your River run vertical?

Addicted For Life.
Paul Bell said:

Some addictions are good, and music sure is one of them. Though the neighbours don\'t like Pink Floyd at 4 in the morning, weird people.

Addicted For Life.
Doggerel Dave said:

Music then is the gateway to your soul.
Your preoccupation has served you well;
For I know you as a peace loving man
With an optimism no one can quell.

Stay strong Andy.

A Wise Person.
arqios said:

The negative thoughts that are birthed and entertained are myriad. Then they produce in turn suspicion and distrust, narrowed mindedness and intolerance. So crazy. So true. Thanks for sharing.

A Wise Person.
Fay Slimm. said:

You describe well the need for wise words today Andy - - thank you for the reminder that we live in a careless world.

A Wise Person.
Doggerel Dave said:

Squeezed sponge doesn’t absorb any moisture.
Silence doesn’t imply anything learnt.
There’s some folks remain closed as an oyster;
But to question what is truth is to get burnt.

However, I can\'t stand the garrulous either, Andy.

Put a smile on my face. 😃

Cane Lady.
Doggerel Dave said:

Experiential learning is the way it goes these days;
Remembering that the streets ain’t paradise mostly pays.
Eyes front, slightly down as you navigate the pavement, son -
Accost someone on the street? - Dim when all’s said and done.

Pure gold, Andy.

Cane Lady.
arqios said:

Oh yeah, Gibson girl and Georgie girl. And of course cane girl.
