I Knew I was Right!

I haven\'t had a glass of red (my fav is cabernet sauvignon) since my stomach op last year. I do long for a glass sometimes. Or a decent chateau neuf du pape with a really good cheese.
Nearest i allow myself these days is a good bottled beer.
I hope u feel a smug satisfaction with each glass your raise in future my friend.

ANGELA here - Good Morning UNCLE ANDY - Just relaxing (8pm Thurs) after a hard days PHYSIOING ! Love the video - some people are born Pianists ! An easy instrument to master (all the notes are there in B & W !) an impossible one to conquer ! Love these Pianos in Rail Stations etc and I can never resist playing a Little Latin Dance Music and get everybody Moovin\' an\' Groovin\' ! Love JAZZ PIANO ! Mi PAPA is so so pleased about all the positive publicity about RED WINE (we all know RIOJA is the BEST !). His sales are increasing just in time to pay for my Wedding (JOKE ?).

Yes, excellent, provided I don\'t turn up - the phantom \'waterer\'.
There\'s a piano in a shopping Mall in town. Hope no one plays if I\'m there. I will only sing along to it! Arrggh!

Thanks for caring & sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian here ~ ANGELA (2pm Thursday - fast asleep I think !) ~ Love the music always a blessing ! Been in WORK today on rota for feeding the Animals and weeding the veg ! Good crop of Onions - Gorgettes & Toms. Im busy making RATATY to freeze for later ! 2 Onions 20 Toms 2 peeled Gorgettes Vegetable stock cube H2O ~ boil til edible ~ AWESOME ! I love Poetry Groups Angela & I are fortunate ! We both write recitable Poetry and we both need a good voice for our JOB. Angela teaches and trains Young Physios. I find it sad (which is often the case in P Groups) People with good Poems often have poor delivery and Poeple with crass Poems often have good delivery. We have some who stutter etc so Iam happy to read poetry for them if asked. But sometimes a sad elegy read haltingly at a Funeral has much more power than an eleoquent delivery. Its like an elderly Gentleman singing *When your Old Wedding Ring was New* accapello at his Diamond Wedding ~ I will be 97 in 2080 ! Love the *before & after* way you have presented your POME !
Blessings & Peace to You & Joyce
Love in the Spirit BRIAN & ANGELA

Use pencil - ya can erase things easily! I nearly always do, then type up poems on to files gradually, after having written a few. Or get our quills out?!

Ha, do you use a quill when writing too? I\'m laughing at your description of the practicality of writing. Recalling an ex who shuffled three or four pieces of A4 lined paper full of crossings out and margin jottings as she attempted to fluently read the poem she had just composed.
How much easier i find composition using the simplest of word processors on my laptop having myself graduated from the pen and paper of years ago. I think that being so much more orderly, it assists the creative juices to flow more readily.
A great subject for your poem today. I expect it will be fun in your group too.

Glad some of you are having fun there. The Poetry Group I went to seemed bit dreary, and some waffled on. We could think \'Oh no, not another poem from him/her\'.
I\'m sure some pretended they liked the poems, with feeble applause after each one.
And now a song: \'Alway\'...……….! heehee. I dunno the words to it yet!

A fine write Gold. It\'s just me, but I rarely seem to cross out much, or to \'start again\'. I do occasionally though.
\'Tis a good write, right I am sure!\'
I fell out with a publisher, who did not like \'alway\' - how fussy! As if a publication depended on that as a major issue. I thought: \'Grrr, but it don\'t rhyme otherwise, ya daft ******\'Woof! Fido stopped me there!

That unconditional love for our offspring is a wonderful thing. I know the rewards grandchildren bring to us in our senior years.
Such joy.
I hope your words were well received, as they are here.

So very true of course. And one becomes more prepared to accept the risks of making mistakes ... they do indeed teach us.
Good observational stuff.

1. We can only learn by our own mistakes !
2. We must never forget our MISTAKES !

A poem... Truly a gift of the heart. Your son really loves you, I\'m very happy for both of you, and happy that we all have this fantastic poem. By the way, Sing Sing Sing is literally my favorite song. Excellent song choice, Gold :)
