A wonderful title for all sorts of subjects but the one you chose of recent reality makes an exciting read Andy - wishing you a lovely break with family and friends.

Driving Into Daylight.
Neville said:


Driving into daylight would make a great title .. bugga .. would you credit that .. having read the body of these words Andy sir I kind of got distracted from your actual title for the duration of reading your poem ...

One of them driving into daylight experiences that many of us have had I imagine .... another fine observational poem my friend ...

well its either that, or summat to do with my own age .........

\'Talk about fast food,
I had seen rashers of bacon
Thicker than that steak.\'
as a fellow foody who dabbles in the fine art of cookery as a staple hobby, I burst out laughing at the picture of that lonely steak swimming perilously from side to side upon its vast canvas plate,
Happy Birthday and best wishes for the year ahead!

Good job too, cos if you were driving into foglight you\'d be heading for a head on collision!
Where ya been then?
Motorway driving when its quiet can be so boring that you could doze off. Plenty of raptors hover over the lit motorways too, did you notice any, I\'ve seen owls over the M5 locally.

The fun you had in cooking that steak left me with a smile when you compared it to bacon - - hope your birthday had some great moments for you Andy to stack away and remember again.

Angela here - Good Friday Uncle Andy. Brian & I are OMNIVORES so we would brought Sirloin Steaks and enjoyed your SALMON as well *Surf an* Turf* delicious. The steak you describe is normally used for *Hot Beef Sanies on Rye !* they are called MINUTE STEAKS which has a *Double Entendre !* MINUTE (as in very SMALL & THIN) and MINUTE (as in the time it takes to fry them) ~ OK ! They are an alternative on a Barbie instead of Hamburgers Cooked in an F Pan not on the griddle ! Very tasty avec Moutarde Anglaise !

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

I had fast food last week eating a corned beef sarnie on the motorway at 70mph. 33 seconds per bite... any faster than that = indigestion, i.e. 80 mph.

Oh.... and many happy returns. May you live long enough for your daughter to have to buy a larger cake tin to enable al those candles to be placed neatly on top.

I did a similar poem, including \'the last trump\'. Trumpet that is, not a certain emission, or The infamous Trump.

orchidee said:

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).

You other poets can join us. The only condition is that you must have been around in 1066 also. lol.

Sometime Life Happens.
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 .........

orchidee said:

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.
