Andy,
I agree... ā€œRelaxing is the way to goā€!
I enjoyed the read and Chopin! Thatā€™s my idea of relaxation!

I\'ve always loved this piece by Chopin. You can listen to it as you recline by the pool watching them swim. Sounds very relaxing to me. My interpretation of the headline is that they are inviting us to take a break from trying to be fit. :-) :-) Too much exercise is bad for the body! :-) :-)

Maybe a fitness for the mind through relaxation and the calming blow of an ocean breeze with feet tapping in the sand. Good one.

Andy,
How is the bread?
As I was reading your
poem, it made me sooo hungry!
I know nothing beats homemade bread, but we do have some great bakeries in Italy that make delicious bread!

I enjoyed the clip...
Bread and spaghetti...good combo!šŸ˜‚

HI ANDY ~ Love Spaghetti Westerns and the theme tunes which is just as well ~ because they haunt one\'s sub-conscious in perpetuo !
The process ~ the scent & taste of primitive home-made bread ~ awesome ! !My MUM is a Confectioner and she taught us all how to make bread & cakes & pies and to cook in general ~ Great asset for a FLAT DWELLER I have Cousin who lives and dies his BREADMAKER ~ looks good ~ smells good but the texture is spongy and the taste commercial not a patch on PAN PRIMATIV ! Thanks for an excellent Confectionery POEM ! Yours BRIAN

My mom made the best homemade bread I\'ve had. I\'ve always loved that smell. I would sit there at the table with her fresh bread warm from the oven and the butter and she\'d always ask didn\'t I want something else to eat it with and I\'d always tell her no. It was wonderful just with butter. Thank you for bringing me this wonderful memory. Great post Gold! Thank you for sharing.

A clear and very readable recipe for proper bread-making - beating out frustration\'s gripes love puts back the dough\'s lie and golden those baked rewards when risen and brown the crust - - wow this read has inspired me to try. Thanks Goldi.

A fine write Gold. You beating up that dough there?! What has it done to upset you? lol.
I would punch cushions, but not if they had pictures of animals, etc on them.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ Have heard the CATS DUET several times but only once in the flesh (or should that be FUR) a great fun piece. In addition to their 100 positive drawbacks even CATS have the odd bad trait ~ and nocturnal singing is one of them. In my book however its reversed with D * * S many more NEGATIVES than POSITIVES ! Thanks for sharing Poem & Purrrrrring ~ Yours BRIAN

Andy,
I concur with all that Unsub wrote with regard to your writeā€™s content!

As you know, I can empathize with your situation! I know youā€™re thinking of Joyce every day...how could you not to?! Sheā€™s the love of your life!
Do rest up this week...at least physically!
I know how important it is! My own days with my mom are getting more difficult as each day goes by!

Thinking of you...relaxing, relaxing, relaxing!

Personally i adore cats. Such a fine life form.
Very entertaining nocturnal challenges. Keep us posted, will one of them disappear or become a defeated shadow of its former glory.
A great subject for your superb writing.

orchidee said:

Heehee a fine write Gold. Some don\'t believe me if I say they can\'t tell the difference between me and two cats fighting!
Ahh, there\'s a smallish tortoiseshell cat in our road.
Also another one the same, with its companion, a more tabby sort.
Also, a very large but friendly black-and-white one that roams about. Too heavy to pick him up!

Well I guess you know what I think about cats - or rather their irresponsible owners. Nevertheless a great fun write Andy.

hi I don\'t know what gave cause for this write but I got a sense of it with Unsub\'s comment I hope this write helped to throw off those feelings in some way I believe people like you are chosen to care for those in need hope you can find yourself in your free time again kind regards ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦...zigs

Jane Frye said:

I thought about your write for hours. I, too, lost the love of my life under similar circumstances. I felt helpless, and incredibly sad. The worse part for me is a sense that I failed him. It\'s been four years now, and I\'m still grieving, trying to sort things out in my heart and head. I have not yet found the collateral beauty in his and my tragedy; but, when I do, I\'ll be sure to write about it, as I hope you will. Take care.
