Ans what about roundabouts - I bet at least 50% of drivers on the road fail to observe the highway code - they are worse at roundabouts - when they do indicate the chances are that they are still indicating right when the exit the roundabout.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here ~ Good Sunday ~ Uncle Andy ~ Nothing liak e bit of French Jazz to lift the Spirits ~ A vivacious Singer & a touch of the Grapellis !

La MER - The Sea we see the Sea
Dancing along the Shores of clear Bays
Shimmering with Silver
Changing shimmers - under the rain
The Sea - with her Summer sky
Mix up her Whte Horses
With the Angels - so pure - BEAUTIFUL

Love the RANTER ~ Signalling !
BRIAN & I are both Advanced Drivers and it makes you
wonder how some Road Users ever passed their TEST.
MSM is so obvious ~ that some fail to use it. Brian & I
always buy British Cars ~ One behaves when driving ONE !

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

A fine write Gold.
i should do more about some roads in our area. There are plans for speed restrictions on some roads here. Or speed bumps.
Our road was recently re-surfaced. Some say it was not done properly. I can\'t see the trouble. Doh!

There were proper comedy shows in the 70\'s still though. When on telly it says \'Comedy shows coming soon\', I yell \'\'Where?\' at the screen. lol. Laugh? I never started.
I thought this was gonna be about the Ten-Sixties, 1066 and all that!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Andy - Thanks for sharing a Great Song by a great 60s Group. Such LYRICS & even better Harmony ! Much of both missing in todays music ! I missed the 60s by almost 30 years but thank God for digitally remastered CD\'s & Alexa ! Although born in 1983 Brians preferred era is the 50s & 60s and he has a massive CD & a modest Vinyl Collection. We have invested in a BANG & OUFLSON CD Player to do them justice !
*Thanks for the Memory* of so many iconic Groups & Tunes ! Brian & I envy those who were Teens in the 60s so many precious memories & psychedelic dreams ! Im on Las Ramblas - BARCELONA today !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yoursla
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛

Hi Andy,

A brilliant, good write.

You have captured the essence of the Sixties.

My late mother said there is no time like the Sixties it was a wonderful unforgettable time.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD MORNING ~ UNCLE ANDY ~ THANKS FOR SHARING ~ Inspiring Music to wake up to and an equally inspiring MANTRA ! Each one of us is Wonderfully & Awesomely created ~ Angelic NOT animalistic. In the sight of our CREATOR each of us is EQUAL ~ BUT ~ alas NOT in the sight of Man. The World is blighted by the birthright & the inequality of MANMADE CLASS & CULTURE ~ just as rife in the UK as in India ! We are always heartened when History Records that FOUR GIFTED Scose Lads (The Beatles ~ remember them ?) could rule the World with the excellence of their Music and the oft simplicity of their LYRICS. Thank God for the Power of Pop ! Thanks for your Poem ~ We love its Sentiment - Sense & Shape !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey ~ AMEN

orchidee said:

Good write Gold. Yes, sometimes too in open countryside for example, we can see a 3-D effect of clouds.
Was one called Cloud Nine? The day clouded over metaphorically in 1066 when I turned up!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Wednesday Uncle Mike - thanks for another enigmatic Poem. BRIAN & I sure are where we wanted to be - but we could so easily have missed each other had it not been for the intimacy of the Hospital Dance four Years ago ! We both needed Someone & found them ~ Love the Poem.
Love the CELLO my fave after the piano ! So HUMAN in shape & sentiment and therefor ideal for the Pathos & Deliverance that is embodied in Schindlers List ! One of the nost moving true films I have ever watched.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

In a similar way (poem to follow) Thomas asked Jesus once: \'We don\'t know where you are going, so how can we know the way to get there?\'

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Brian here ~ Good evening Uncle Andy ~ Thanks for showcasing Don Estelle a fine Tenor Voice and Whispering Grass (No. 1 1975 - 8 years before I was born !) with Windsor Davis (who couldnt sing !) from the Sitcom *It aint half hot MUM* Very UN-PC ! Unfortunately Don didnt have the Physical Presence to be a Pop Star like Elvis !
Love your Poem ~ S miles M ake I mpact L ike E lectric S hock !

When I was a Scout in My Teens ~ I really did *Smile & Whistle whatever the Circumstances* and it did earn me the nickname SMILER ! We Agree with every word in your *ODE to SMILING !*

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Smile For All.
Fay Slimm. said:

A smile cost nothing so my old Gran would say and oh how it lifts a gloomy spirit - a beautiful tribute to the simple smile Andy and how it can reflect on all around......... I love the saying I noted quite recently that at first made me chuckle with its forceful last words - - but how beautifully this mantra works - -- --- \" If you see someone without a smile - --- GIVE EM ONE\"

L. B. Mek said:

positivity in mindset, naturally translates to a wider lensed scope of the horizons before us and the mountainous paths we traverse,
a poignant write on one of the most undervalued tools in coping methodology
wonderful flow and detail, in this thought provoking write Andy
