I think we was both there too at Traflgar in 1805 (Oct 21st). Was it our fault Nelson lost an eye and/or arm?
I was at The Battle of Reading in 871AD - me home town. So the 1,150th anniversary of it next year (Jan 4th).

Note to other poets: It\'s all true you know! heehee.
You other poets can join us. The only condition is that you must have been around in 1066 also. lol.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - At the end of another busy Day all safely negotiated ! Good End of Day Uncle ANDY ! Thanks for the VIDEO ! There is nothing quite like *Classical Music* played by a Full Orchestra ! My parents used to take us to Classical Concerts when we lived in London and they had an Upright Grand Piano and encouraged me to have lessons. It is only by playing an instrument or singing Choral Music that you fully appreciate Harmony & Metre etc.
Your elegant Poem rings very true in my own experience. There are many obstacles in life & love which impede ones progress. However one learns to get round and over them and in some instances tunnel through them ! Where theres a Will there is always a Way. Much of my job is encouraging my Clinets to bounce back from immobility to mobility and from loss of manual dexterity to regain it by exercise and the use of specially OT Equipment. As in most avenues of life it requires humility & perseverance ~ AMEN Thanks for sharing a soupcon of Goldfinch Philosophy !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey ! ! !

It\'s funny but when Jay was alive I could navigate all kinds of problems but it all seemed do-able because he was there somewhere ... it\'s only now that he is gone that I wonder how I got through some of it...... good one Andy......

Famously john lennon said \"life is what happens to you whilst your busy doing something else\".... so true.

Life brings all sorts to our door if we open it..... and from reading your words many times I think your door is definitely open.

This is so very true Andy sir.. the trick is not to give up and to maybe appreciate the beauty and joy that can be found in the looking for new routes and paths .........

Good write Gold.
Yes, like literal paths or tracks through life. On tracks, they are fine when it\'s dry, but muddy when wet. I had to turn back - some huge puddles in places, covering the whole track.

A poignant write Gold.
Now why didn\'t I sing in 1066? It would have scared off the enemy. They would not have been able to bear the torment. lol. But no, I turned up and mucked it all up! heehee.

Pleasure fills our days, we choose what We enjoy best, if joy carries us away for a minute, and we miss something else, at least It wasn’t time wasted. Smilez

orchidee said:

Yes, why are they called Minutes, if the waffle goes on for hours?!
We had Meetings and sub-Meetings (sub groups). Oohh, didn\'t they just love their meetings. Where was the time to do the actual work?
Did they have any meetings to plan 1066?

orchidee said:

Good write Gold. Have I insecurites?
Can I risk it, that a smile may be rejected? Then I will feel a fool.
I\'m getting all psychological. This \'thinking\' is giving me a headache, this time of morning!
1066 approaches....
