Maximum stress in summertime, Andy…you’ve got to try to enjoy – not my summer, but yours…
Oh yeh – wot about the lazy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOV96BCAvZc&ab_channel=sue581000
‘Hope the family situation works out… that spider must be terrifying – sounds like the DT’s to me – rehab after summer’s over…?

To see happy faces is enough to lift hearts of others who would like to learn how to embrace the same mood. Keep being yourself dear Andy and spread your good words of appreciation for nature etc. I for one love to look forward to reading your poetical lines along with your lovely choice of music.

Feel like I’m on a different planet sometimes, Andy.
People are unhappy for any number of reasons including, but not exclusively:
Bad relationships (often evidenced here),
Economic difficulties (not having enough Bread –being poor in other words),
Inadequate housing (living on the streets an extreme example) BTW the fetishisation of the house as an investment opportunity rather than shelter is one of the moral deficiencies of our age.
War and conflict,
And so on and so on…
That having been stated, by all means be happy yourself, and if you manage to inflict that on others - good for you, but don’t believe you are going to solve world unhappiness by being happy yourself.
Regards Dave

\'Shows you have a big heart
And are not afraid,
Not afraid to let others see it.\'
you seemingly have such an intuitive feel
for when to utilise repetition, with purposed intent
and not as some get-out-of-jail
forcedly enforced: rhyme scheme...
makes a huge difference, at least for me
and underlines, just why so many
can relate to your artistic integrity
so easily, thanks for sharing Andy

Meanwhile - I wish I would stop singing. It only spreads un-happiness! hehehe.
You got that song for me? Over the hills and far away? (a million miles preferably, they say) lol.

An interesting question you raise here. I am lucky to be a predominantly happy (glass half full) type of person - used to annoy others with my monday morning happiness - but i could have just as easily been born predominantly unhappy and negative.
We can\'t change people to be happy but remaining happy ourselves is important. Don\'t let the buggers draw you down. Having said that though, don\'t be aloof.
Well that\'s my three-penneth without attempting to penetrate the subject deeper and come up with a load of mumbo-jumbo as befits some.

With you all the way, Andy. Where appropriate make yourself vulnerable - how the other reacts is a good test (ensure you have a safe exit should things go pear shaped).

You do make it hard sometimes, Andy - now I know I\'ve been around a fair while, but he was a bit before my time....however if you had mentioned Zorba, I might have been able to contribute something constructive to this particular collumn.......

Did we meet him in 1066? Was he around then?
He thought he met an honest man in a politician. But then - he opened his mouth? We knows the rest.

And The Wind Blows.
Doggerel Dave said:
The clouds, the trees, the sea, the waves of corn..all provoked rich memories - thanks, Andy.
The bike? Ahh the bike...rode one for years - try bottom gear...No good? Plan a trip in the opposite direction and hope the bloody wind has exhausted itself by the time you have to get home....

dusk arising said:
And the wind blows
as I sit in the bathroom
staring at the washbasin.
Love the sound of that quartet (but theyre not quite polished at that style of jazz yet). Names to watch out for in years ahead.
Sound is reminiscent of a lot of ECM jazz recordings who use similar groupings.
Excellent poetry.
