The numbers that wears such masks is increasing expotentially, as the technology is isolating us even more.
It\'s just easier to wear the mask....

Good Evening UNCLE ANDY ~ The Subjects of DESTINY & ADVERSITY are apposite for us today (However we love Verdi & Acrostics ~ so both were Silver Linings !) We are busy with planning a Wedding (which could now talke place in La Catederal de Sevilla !) and Angela has today interviewed her SIX Trainee Physios (4 F & 2 M) who she will be instructing & assessing for the next 12 months in *Hands on PHYSIO !* They have done a YearsTheory & *Clinical Observation*. She obtained her Training Diploma in NZ and will start work next week on a Higher Grade. She is very academic & ambitious so starting a Family (2022 ?) will be a big decision ! I am in the final Year with my Path Lab Technicians who will have very responsible Jobs when they qualify. All in Merits & Distintions so far ~ AMEN. Loved the Video & the very balanced ACROSTIC ~ Thanks for sharing !

Blessings to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

Hello Goldfinch60,

A most excellent write.

Adversity we all encounter it. It is how we deal with it that marks out our true strength as a human being and character.

Keep writing FineB

a fine write Gold. We may reply that we\'re Ok, when we\'re not. There can be various reasons - we don\'t know the person well enough; we have not got time to give them all the details; would they stop and chat if we said we\'re not OK?; etc.

Very relaxing peaceful music.

I can picture you and the scenes you describe here all too well. It\'s in your positive nature. Giving, sharing, encouraging... who got the most pleasure from this act ....
the answer is so obvious saintly sir!

Pleasure to read this easy flowing piece.

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Uncle Andy a very altruistic & moving account ! Brian & I love the Republic of Ireland and the Irish Music & Dancing ! The PENNY WHISTLE is very haunting - thanks for video ! I feel very much @ Home in the Republic - their MANANA (Tomorra* In the Mornin*) attitude reminds me of Spain. We love the BARS theres always singin* with an impromptu group of FIDDLE - IRISH DRUM - FLUTE - CONCERTINA - JOANNA etc ! If BRIAN has his GUITAR he*ll sit in (coming from Liverpool he knows all the Irish songs) and & I*ll dance for them - sing & tinkle the ivories. They love it when *Strangers* come in the BAR & throw their hat in the RING !
Back to the SUBJECT ! Love what you did for the Penny Whistle Player - I guess you restored His Dignity. Brian & I support any of the *Street People* if they are acctually doing something ! Singing - Playing - Dancing - Selling the Big Issue etc. If they just sit there begging we are less inclined to help them (unless they have DOG !) OK It is interesting that in both MEXICO & CUBA we didn\'t see anybody JUST BEGGING they were all PERFORMING as only Mexicans & Cubans (both HISPANICS) can ! In CUBA we didnt see anybody sleeping ROUGH either and no heavy POLICE PRESENCE as in London & New York ~ AMEN !

Bkesings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

Fay Slimm. said:

This read filled my soul with both sadness and joy - to know there are still people like your self dear Andy - willing to help or even befriend those who often through no fault of their own become homeless brings hope to this heart that conditions may change for folk like the whistle player. Thank you for sharing your kind contact with us here on M.P.S.

Neville said:

sadly.. there are more of these whistle blowers in every town across the land... .. sad is the fact that no one sets out in life to become homeless, to develop an addiction or to develop a mental illness in any of its many forms.... there are of course many other reasons for homelessness... none of them happy ones....... Nicely captured and shared GF60...

Also - I see some regular Big Issue sellers. Some look really well. Not that they have to look down-trodden. But are they all genuine?

Ahh, a touching write Gold.

Why did I have to turn up and spoil it all?
You back from that Battle of Balaclava Reunion - Oct 25th (1854)?

ANGELA HERE ! Thanks for the Shost* - and very romnntic indeed and very soothing. I like to try and play his MUSIC ! Love the LYM !
Ahhhh so you are a self-confessed PEDANT = One who insists on strict observations of rules & details in presenting KNOWLEDGE ! Brian has noted this and instructed me to tell you *He will be much more careful in future when pennining ODES replete with Science or other branches of KNOWLEDGE !* He has already been accused (wrongly) of misinformation on this site and He would hate to incur the wrath of a Friend ! Thanks for sharing - very droll !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela & Brian here ~ Good afternoon Uncle Andy ~ We love JACQUELINE a very powerful and soul stirring cellist ~ especially with Daniel conducting ! Thanks again for the very eclectic range of music you share with us ! Ripples in a stream is an apt description of our lives. Close together in the excitement & experience of YOUTH and then wider & slower as we age ! Middle Age is now 45 so we are a decade at least away. We have much to experience (and much to learn ?) as we anticipate Married Life (can two really life as cheaply as ONE ?) and (DV) a Family of our own. We have been assured (as a Couple) that we should have no difficulty in conceiving (at the right time) !
A great PIECE and (in our opinion) an equally great POEM which has conditioned a very apposite response !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
