GOOD MORNING : UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE (Its 9pm !) Thaks for the FRENCH OPERA it always lifts my Spirit. French & Italian are both excellent & Romantic Languages for Opera as is Spanish ! German (for me) always strikes a more Sombre note ! Love the sentiments in your elegant ode ! We all need a River to meditate by and share our sorrows & joys with ! Brian has a River but here I have the shore ! I often sit & watch the ebb & flow of the Tide. I feel Brian near Me but I know He wiil materialise in October *When his Boat cums in !*

Blessings & Peace to You & Joyce
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Plase check our CARBON CYCLE : Thanks A & B !

Suresh said:

Physically went to watch a game once, I believe it was McEnroe and Borg. The pomp and show of strawberries and champagne is something to remember, besides obviously watching the game in person.
Thwack, Thwack, Thwack, Thwack, Thwack, really enjoyed your poem

HI UNCLE ANDY ~ Im much too YOUNG to be nostalgic ! My Parents love it so I guess I started to watch ~ when I started play Tennis seriously 1997 when I was 14 !

Angela & I hope to go to WIMBLEDON next year !

Somehow the tennis of yesteryear was more watchable - I haven\'t bothered to watch it at all this year and get a bit annoyed when the very few interesting and watchable programmes are disrupted.

Hmmm never been a fan of Wimbledon but your quotes certainly ARE something i\'m familiar with. Quite amazing the impact Wimbledon has upon our nations.

Andy,

Joyce’s dementia IS sad...especially for you to witness every single day 24/7! So painful for you! She is blessed having you to take care of her! Take advantage of this week to take care of yourself! You deserve all the R&R you can get!

My love to Joyce and to you!

A sensitive write Gold.
A Christian \'faith-healer\' even had his own couple of ailments, plus one of his daughters had deafness. Yet God worked through him to bring healings and miracles to many.

But Worse Than That.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY for sharing FUR ELISE and salutary true story ! Beethoven himself was striken with deafness later in his LIFE ! ANGELA is a classical Pianist and she too brings out the Pathos in FUR ELISE ! Because she is a Masseuse she has a very dellicate touch and on a Decent Instrument (My DAD has a rosewood upright grand) she can do justice to Beethoven ! Music really is the Food of Love ! My Parents love ANGELA because she is a good Classical Pianist an Angela\'s Parents love me because I am a good Classical Guitarist as every Suitor for a Senorita should be ! Were our instruments reversed would have been the END of a Beautiful Romance (BROMA = JOKE ?)
When I did my Teacher Training Course (PGCE) the MANTRA was *If your Students havnt learned anything ~ then You havnt taught anything* That is especially true teaching ~ AUTOMOBILE SCIENCE ~ to a Class of reluctant Garage Mechanics ~ on a Friday afternoon in Summer Time ! The Workshop Tutor could swear and threaten them with a 12 inch spanner ! I had to use my charm ! To treat teaching as just child minding goes against all the principles of PEDAGOGY ! And to me really is ANATHAMA !

Blessings & peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love in the SPIRIT ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

But Worse Than That.
dusk arising said:

Isn\'t this a story for us all as we age my friend. We lose the things which have been a most important part of our life. Odd though that accompanying such losses is a learning about our selves and life itself... all this at a time when we are possibly most able to appreciate the lessons.

Strange Friend.
Suresh said:

Desire to know others (or personal gains) is what encouraged humanity to venture out of its comfort zone, and today the whole planet is accessible to us.
