Good wite Gold. Aww - they wish the tide had turned, and brought my ship into Hastings shore in 1066. But I just had to turn up, didn\'t I?! lol.

Darkness to Light.

often Dylan Thomas\' words are utilised for times of struggle and hardship, but that line:
\'Rage, rage against the dying of the light\'
has always represented an expression of choice to me, we all can choose in our daily lives and those bleakest of times to find a shard of tangible hope to grip, even if that comes in the form acceptance

Good write Gold.
I\'m gonna waffle. We changed clocks in the houes - had the extra hour.
Then I changed my watch later on - and got another extra hour?! I\'m only fooling myself. lol.
If only I had forgotten to put my watch FORWARD in March 1066, I would have turned up late for Hastings, and not mucked it all up.

What they euphemistically call the time of dark nights..... i\'m going to have a guy fawkes bonfire and let off a firework.... a thrill to look forward to.
All my timepieces show differing minutes. The BBC annoys me because it uses different minutes to my ISP which is suppoesd to keep my PC running at the correct time.... then there\'s my phone... mind of it\'s own... shall i mention my various wristwatches..... no i\'m not wristwatch vain but having done manual tasks one has different watches for different occasions but they\'re all the same headache when BST comes around... or not!

in a world of contrasts, there is a unity of opposites .. it is very much a perceptual thing ... but I take your point GF60 and which you make well here...

Doh! We\'re moving into the darkness, the evenings, that is. But lighter mornings for a while.
The end of BST. Yep, we did have some British Summer Time. I\'m sure it was more than them two days in June!

As an artist I see in detail what others fail to see at all and when I point them out they are often quite amazed. If only they would learn to use their eyes.
Love the music but must say I prefer it when sung - by Renee Fleming for example.

It seems like such a long time ago to say the last century but how true it is that we lived then and have seen all the different changes in this one too - - some are not to my liking but that is so-called progress as they say Andy - thank you for the lovely music too.

distance is incomprehensible in its complexity,
light as time travel -
road signs whizz past in a blink -
memory so palpable it hovers just out of touch or fades lazily: yesterday\'s lunch morphing with that from a year ago, a decade even, maybe within deja-vu\'s grip as far back as a century...
good write, I\'m enjoying your nostalgia themed write\'s

That\'s the time traveller in you sneaking out through the chinks in the armour of disinformation given to you when you were reborn into the 1940\'s.
Who knows what centuries we have seen nor where in our previous incarnations.
Though some fear the nearest we will get to a different incarnation is a tin of evaporated milk on a supermarket shelf.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Friday Afternoon Uncle Andy ~ Im home this afternoon getting ready for Holiday (Bournemouth Area) too Cold & Wet for the Lakes ! Nothing like a bit of Ultra-trad Jazz - with vocal - for a wet-essex-afternoon-blues ! I dusted off my Banjo and sat in ! Long time since we were last in Basin Street ! Love the sentiments in Your Ode ! Ever since we opted out of Nature and became *Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James ~ Manfred Mann* we have reaped the Rewards of *Global Warming etc etc* and lost sight of Mother Natures Daily Glories ! *When will we ever Learn ~ When will we ever Learn !*
Blessins & Peace to YOU & YOURS

the only part of your memories I can directly relate to is the milk bottles, your mention of their silver caps - just sent me back whirling, within what I had assumed were lost monuments to hindsight\'s idyllic childhood scenes, specifically: preparing the Christmas time presents or the annual bonus tip or penning that \'will be away for a bit - note\' starting by addressing our Milk Lady by name - then asking how her family was doing (the small things) as a contrast to today\'s time when most written communications barely start by addressing the recipient\'s/addressee\'s name or we use that arctic greeting of \'Dear Sir or Madam\'...
