The Sixties, I Was There .
Doggerel Dave said:


Great piece of nostalgia – really took me back: if I could disassociate it from the seventies I think I would be happy in that bubble – ‘cos it didn’t last..unfortunately….Or perhaps…
But thanks for the memories….
Aah….Andy… Don’t hog it - pass that toke around will ya ?

Doggerel Dave said:

Are you sure about this, Andy? Even from far away it looks like madness to me...
Understand this newfound freedom applies to England alone not the rest of the UK. Correct?

Neville said:


some things are gradually returning to normal it seems .. I can\'t help worrying there may be a price to pay though .............................. I dont like being wrong any more than the next bloke .. but would not object if I have erred in my thinking on this one ..

It\'s a gloomy day - my singing resumes! lol.
I\'m sure my singing tutor knows something, but its not telling me. I\'ve paid out for 5,284 lessons so far. He says I\'m improving, so.....!

No Longer At Home.

In the seething pain of your words, I read the intensity of love for Joyce, that I humbly admire.

No Longer At Home.
L. B. Mek said:

impassioned fury, at that ill-fate
of destiny\'s despairingly, demoralising injustice
should never be mistaken
for that \'self-loathing harbouring: anger,
of modern societies, pitifully senile fool\'s..\'
see, when you\'ve given everything
to that one thing, you hoped, prayed, wished
and sacrificed, to keep - \'whole\'
for as long as you draw breath, then you\'re entitled
to vent and express, your raw - suffering
in worded fury;
its a human, tool for survival - to insure
we don\'t all end-up, like \'those loathsome few
who would rather see the world burn and give-in\'
than find that self-worth from within
and do the work, the rest of us
grudgingly, embrace
as our hope fuelled - fight, to survive
and imbue meaning: in this - our one, and only
taste of a short-lived, existence...!
really liked that raw emotionality
you conveyed in this write, Andy
let it all out!
\'only then will you have that space
to realise and cherish
that subtle, embrace - when next
\'She\': comes to visit\'

No Longer At Home.
Doggerel Dave said:

That’s more like it, Andy. No more of your sweetness and light memories – reality impinges. Better the anger - that’s reality.
I’ve seen quite a number of early onset dementia folks (can occur as early as the ‘40’s) - so consider yourself lucky you had so long with Joyce.
Not particularly helpful to you –but it does make me realize that there is nothing of me (no spirit, identity beyond this mortal coil) which exists after I cark it.
Enjoyed your anger - it makes a change.

dusk arising said:

So sad Andy. I have seen some of dementia\'s evil and respect your first hand knowledge.
Let us hope, as always, for new discoveries in preventing this and other afflictions which haunt our approaching years.
