Steps Into My River.
Michael Edwards said:

Just great - sadly the river through our village is still very high but the wildlife endures - kingfishers, otters, et al.

Steps Into My River.
dusk arising said:

That lady river flows through your poetry like your inspirational muse. Surely, on the days after your life\'s fulfillment, there could be no finer tribute to your times in the company of your river than a bench for the living to sit in contemplation of the peace she brings.

Can ya do miracles? Can ya walk IN or ON the River, as well a walk BY it? Would ya still need ya welly boots for it?!
I\'ve had to turn back on some walks, along some unpaved tracks. I\'ve not got proper walking boots.

The View From The Window.
dusk arising said:

A similar story I had heard before but it highlights so well our many differences from one another.The creative, the giving, the needy to name those which firstly come to mind.

A tale well told..... owzat!

It\'s not what\'s in front of ypu - it\'s what you see - he was a true artist. And a fine write to boot!

New departure, Andy?

Good write Gold.
I visited someone in hospital, 29 years ago now. He sadly passed away, but one of the nurses who tended him was a major person in setting up a Cycle Helmet Safety Trust.

Use By Date?
FredPeyer said:

What that number means Andy, is that you can use it for 3 minutes at a time only, for a total of 2020 hours. So don\'t bring a book with you, do your business and get the heck out of there! :-)

Use By Date?
L. B. Mek said:

how amusing, a toilet seat with a use by date...
very observant of you, I would assume that was just their manufacturing batch number
and hope, I made a lucky pick, lol
fun read Andy

Use By Date?
dusk arising said:

In these days of our later years maybe the toilet seat should have a functional date mechanism topside so that as our memory fades we can bend over in front of a mirror looking at it from betwen our legs to check when we last sat upon the loo for bodily functions to perform...... or is this just another load of crap i should have deposited elsewhere.

I think your number is a manufactured date.... if humans had one of those on their bum it would stop some people telling porkies unless they kept their little panties on.

Use By Date?
orchidee said:

Oh lol, good write Gold.
Maybe it\'s the size of what has to sit on the seats!

What Words?
Neville said:


there will indeed be better days ahead of that I am quite certain ... and I am also glad I chose to call in today, so that you might remind me ....

What Words?
FredPeyer said:

Andy, sometimes words are not enough, sometimes they are too much. You found the right ones.

What Words?
Suresh said:

The way we can make these trying times better, is by easing the pain of those a little less fortunate, for as you said, there WILL be better days soon.

Good write Gold.
You walking that River? Or just seeing it for now, with the floods?

That Photograph.
FredPeyer said:

Andy, that photo and your lovely poem made me think back to my wedding day. Love that poem! You inspired me to maybe one day write a love poem to my wife and post it with a wedding picture.
Of course, I am looking a lot better now, but no matter...

That Photograph.
Fay Slimm. said:

What a delightful and telling picture where two know their future of closest love - - thank you so much Andy for sharing it and your lovely words with us.

That Photograph.
dusk arising said:

Cor! I\'d love a photo of your meeting up again..... the facial expressions would tell so much.

January 30th, 2021 07:15

That Photograph.
Doggerel Dave said:

I can understand why that photo is important to you, Andy. It is sometimes hard to understand how things change. In that picture you look so permanently settled in an era I know so well. In future I won\'t visualise you in any other way.
Thanks for sharing it with me (us).

Dave

Did we look young in 1066?

The Eighth Trumpet.
FredPeyer said:

I am with you all the way, Andy. If Lorelei would have heard orchie sing, she most likely would have jumped into the Rhine and drowned herself a second time.

Jerry Reynolds said:

Good laugh for my coffee.

The Eighth Trumpet.
dusk arising said:

Bless your ears and bless Orchi too for though i may attack his postings occasionally, he is blessed with the wit to respond without taking that high and mighty \'how dare you stance\' and has my respect, as do you.
Dizzy\'s horn is as good a horn to listen to as anyones and hails from the great 50\'s era of jazz\'s hey-day. No doubt you\'re aware too of Wynton marsallis who has moved the trumpet thru it\'s latest journey to our ears.
Yes, many greats along the way, your fav chet and miles to mention but two names who cannot be overlooked.

Truly, you have endeavored to see pass the gloom and realized happiness

I wish a lot more people had your mindset, Andy. Nice one.
