Andy - iv\'e lived in North Queensland for a goodly number of years. I know those little beasties quite well. Appropriate attire well secured would seem to be the way to go. Application of mosquito repellent in this instance not recommended.
There should always be solutions whether testicular or international.
Regards Dave
PS Cool Conductor - great.

ANGELA HERE - Gut Mitwok Mein Onkel Andy ! Love the VID - A Minimalist Conductor with one of the Worlds Greatest Orchestras ! JA it did have a *smile factor* ! Loved the Saga from the Greek Humorist ~ TES~TACILES ! In the SACA you cite methinks PREVENTION ~ UNTER-HOSEN ENGEN ~ is better than the CURE ! SMOKEY (being a CAT !) is much less censurious than FIDO and would have permitted ODE ! Thanks for posting MESSAGE & MUSIC !

Blessng & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela Brian & Smokey πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Double muchness of mirth this morning of the first frost. Thanks for that Andy. Actually if one landed on mine it would realise it had bitten off more than it could chew - 😏

She Was Back Once More.
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful,
that you can see the tint of Sunshine through the storms of life is all the armour you need and the music you played with Joyce, will ever reside within each pulse of life,
how proud she must be of you Andy,
stay strong my friend: slice onions and let it all out, then garnish your steak and celebrate, as she too gets to share within each breath you squeeze from life...

She Was Back Once More.
Doggerel Dave said:

Andy - It\'s not often the the theme of love in poetry gets to me (although I will be doing one of my own sometime soon). The ache - the wish to go back to that moment is one I certainly have experienced. By now you must have realised, I can\'t do the spirit thing - however the memory is warm and whole and I return to it whenever I need comfort.
Take care, Dave

back in lock-down once more
my bum wil get sore
lying here on the sofa
an idle bored loafer
with nowhere to go anymore

Well I had to have a go.

ANGELA HERE ~ Good Evening Uncle Andy. Thanks for showcasing OSCAR ! Every time I hear & watch HIM I learn a little more about the *Interpretation of Cool Jazz on a real PIANO !* AMEN. Brians DAD now has a Lowery Organ (same as they use in the Church) so He has given us his Rushworth & Drapers (Liverpool) Upright Grand ! Once tuned it stays tuned for ten Years ! Brian & I are fortunate to be in secure Jobs & being retired you can set Your Own Agenda ! WE support the Church *Needy* Support Group and the Coop Foodbank. WE feel perhaps that COOP Food Vouchers are the most sensible CMAS Gift this Year or COOP Hampers ? COVID 19 can knock us down - BUT - it will never knock us OUT ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

A very pertinent and excellently written stanza Andy, let\'s hope that things get better by people being collectively sensible.

Take care,

Yeh you folks aint the only ones - limericks make me itchy too:

In a world of over population
Perhaps thinning is not a bad notion?
So long as it’s not me
I’ll end it my way you see
And I’ll never cause any commotion.

My addition to the low mood. How low can we go?

good read,
I\'m also an Autumn guy, though admittedly more \'Fall\' and early Winter than late Summer, it\'s that inevitably melancholic mood they help cultivate

dusk arising said:

On my TV are MP\'s imploring
Stay at home even if it\'s quite boring
but remaining erect
whilst in self protect
is my failure, I\'m often found snoring

So bored with the pandemic break
Goldie is off to his lake
it\'s my meditation
is his explanation
then swiftly nips home for some cake

Or perhaps on another day
sipping coffee in a favourite cafe
where he\'ll knock one off briskly
a poem quite risky
just to hear what his subject will say

When i see limericks i just can\'t help but start composing

I got in a muddle. The sheet hit the fan, and got all tangled up in it! Doh!
It\'s tricky, and difficult for traders of \'non-essential\' goods and services. Hopefully they can survive, with online business, etc. But one can\'t get a virtual haircut, for example. Get that pudding basin on yer head, and get someone to cut round it. In the hair-style of 1066?

Hi Andy,

A beautiful write with Autumn so magnificently captured.

They say New England in the US is one of the best places to experience Autumn or the fall as they say in the US.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

Nice one and oh how i miss it... staying locked away for self preservation.
Springtime is my favourite i admit but autumn has it golden beauty and sorrow as the natural world prepares for winters hardship.

All the more poignant to observe the final beauties of 2020 as we head into who knows what this year.

A fine write and pic Gold. Yes, brightening up a sub-power station near us - brilliant red and golden leaves overhanging from a neighbour\'s garden.
\'Tis where I go to sing all alone. I got a key for special permission to get in - to sing there alone of course! lol.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - God Sabbath Uncle Andy - Nicae to be back in the LAND of MPS. Love Thelonius Monk - to me (as a pianist) its a genre of Progressve / Improvised Jazz but it needs a QUARTET to showcase the PIANO MAGIC !
IN NORMAL TIMES at our Evangelical Church we have a PRAISE PARTY on 31st October instead of HALLOWEEN ! We get about 50 (9 ~ 16) every Year so they must enjoy it ! I feel the *SIMPLE UK HALLOWEEN* of the last Century has been hijacked by an OTT USA Version ! Loved the POEM it reminded us of the VOODOO situation American Missionary Friends of Ours found in Haitii ! Thanks for sharing - Please check todays POEM & FUSION - Thanks A & B !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

I hate to dampen your enthusiasm but i think it\'s going to rain on your parade. Mr Jobsworth weatherman predicts wind and rain for this evening....

So put away your sweetie treats and wax the oilskins if ya dare venture out.

Good write Gold. It\'s a sort of plague, to be sure.
Meanwhile I could feel like I\'m in me coffin today - it\'s the Anniversary from Hell, when I married KP. I knew I should never have said \'yes\' to here. She did not water my whiskies. That\'s what made me say \'yes\' to her.

Such a moving read dear Andy - may you continue to reach happiness as you climb higher.

dusk arising said:

And so the journey of life continues. You choice of analogy, climbing a mountain, is excellent in your learned case because the view from high has enabled you to view the landscape of what life is all about and accept it into your psyche. Climbing higher still will bring further treasure I hope.

Language and Music.
FineB said:

Hi Andy,

Ill agree with you on that one.

Everyone of us has a favourite Bob Marley, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald song that we like.

Great write.
