Leicester is a place I avoid like the plague - not a nice place to visit so no offence taken.

There was a young maid from Leicester
Who tried to scam an investor
Into giving her cash
At a local bash
Till along came the plod to arrest her

GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY ~ Just off to Work ~ First lecture 11am. Having been born in LANCASHIRE I am a life long UKULELE (and George Formby) Fan. I learned to play one in a week before I graduated to the acoustic GUITAR which takes a lifetime to master. I too have heard the UKE ORCHESTRA of GB and I am still recovering. The U3A has recently (out of desperation ?) added UKULELE GROUPS to its ancillary classes (several of my extended Family have been seduced !) and in my TOWN I have encountered them several times strumming in unison at FETES etc. The UKE is back on track ! Thanks for Caring & Sharing Blessings & Love to You & Joyce ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Please check Today\'s Poem on WORDS ~ Thanks B & A ~ It contains the MAORI SONG (sans Uke !) KIA ORA ~ Good Health !

Loneliness?
Michael Edwards said:

There are more and more cases of depression in youngsters. I am convinced it\'s because they haven\'t learnt the art of interacting thanks to those damn iphones etc - nice one Andy.

Loneliness?

I learnt the other day that facetime was invented so deaf people could sign on their phones...
Texting was invented so that daft people could use them too
I\'m with you G

Loneliness?
w c said:

Thanks, G. Whenever I wonder about loneliness, I\'m reminded that the lonely are not necessarily alone and conversely that those alone aren\'t necessarily lonely.

Loneliness?
sylviasearcher said:

You got me thinking about loneliness.

It is one of the greatest health risks of all but imagine what the doctor would say if I went and told him or her I was lonely!?

My youth was before mobile phones. Yet I was still lonely.

I just think it\'s not as simple as it seems...😕

Loneliness?
orchidee said:

Now we might say this is old-fashioned, being very old ourselves (we were there before 1066 at least!). But a true write Gold. A lot of \'virtual\' friendship around.
How\'s 1066 prep going? And who is going in person?

Andy,

This beautiful write demonstrates how your love for Joyce and hers for you is eternal and truly amazing!

Love these poetic words. Words of a true poet...and that would be YOU!

“The tears of the past had been smiled away.”



Thank you for sharing!

All my love to Joyce and to you!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY for sharing such intimate thoughts & experiences. This is a key role of MPS to share & care! I (ANGELA) have lots of Friends & Colleagues in the UK in the caring profession many of them Filipinas : who really are ANGELS! I am thrilled you are reassured that JOYCE is in the right hands for respite. It is hard but I tell my elderly UK Friends that it is for the BEST and that GOD UNDERSTANDS. Joyce and Yourself are an example to us all. Thanks for JUSSI BJORLING, He is a fave of BRIANS DAD and he has lots of records! Every Blessing & Love to JOYCE & YOURSELF : ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Its 10:30 pm (Monday) here in NZ and BRIAN is at WORK. Please check on OUR SIX SENRYU and on our FUSION on SHARE A SENRYU on that we have posted THE SNOWMAN VIDEO : THANKS A & B

The challenge of seeing a loved one undergoing such changes must be so very hard to bear dear Goldi - your poem wrings tears from my heart - prayerful thoughts go out to you both and the day Joyce gets home you will have the love of your life beside you again. Thank you for sharing the positive side of care-home separation.

orchidee said:

This cuts at the heart, in a \'repentant\', poignant sense, not in the sense of being enraged and stoning someone. This phrase is used in the book of Acts in both senses.
A feeling of being cut emotionally, as though a swish of a knife cuts across one\'s heart.
Thinking of you both.

The Pearlfisher duet by Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill is my wifes favourite and to my mind it is still the best recording of it.

Dog Walking
orchidee said:

Any dogs at Hastings in 1066? Or just me in a negative sense? Did someone say: \'You dog; why did you tell Harold to look up?\'

Dog Walking
orchidee said:

A lovely write and pic Gold. Yes, many folk have a dog or cat for company, sometimes their main company if widowed, etc.
I saw a cat on a lead. It was cruel. The guy has had several ginger cats. The cat was not happy and would go for you if you tried to stroke it. I blame the owner.
I saw someone walking 5 dogs at once too!

Oh a fine write Gold. I had another problem. I wondered why no one could read my poems, then discovered I had been using invisible ink. doh!

A worthy tribute to a famous singer as music meets needs in us all - thanks my friend for this moment of return to Nirvana.

kevin browne said:

Music. It fits into every inch of this Earths corners. All types of wonderful musical opens up parts of the mind which can only be numbed by the sounds of music which is fitting for each and every ear. There is genius somewhere thinking about how to change the sounds in which we listen to. Without it I believe the human race may collapse purely because of its outstanding talent for survival. great write, Goldfinch60.

Wonderful that some sounds or voices can do this to us.

A lovely write Gold. I thought you meant you heard me singing. Well, was I a close second?! heehee.
I\'m gonna sing at 1066 reunion. Can you help? Stand by the door so they don\'t all run out of the room?

Michael Edwards said:

Gave me a smile - I think we\'ve all done something similar. I bought my new one a month ago at a local shop - not a chain - and for £60 they transferred everything from my old one and cleaned all the manufacturers rubbish from the new one - result was seamless change over.
