I Had a Shower Today.

Happy Birthday wishes Gold. But with the date system on here, your birthday is 10/6, not 6/10. Is that your \'official\' birthday, like the Queen?!
A comedy film had a line \'Everything in moderation; I never overdo things; I take a bath once a year!\'

Well-written poem trumpeting life, death and rebirth that is analogous to the phases of the moon. I loved it.
Here\'s hoping we may all look forward to reincarnation. :)

You are possibly a wealthy man Goldfinch, for the price of a coffee in so many places has just become silly. I\'d be interested to know what you pay for your enjoyable cup.
My favourite (affordable) bean is Mocha. But nowadays if you ask for a Mocha they serve you up an americano (spurious beans) with chocolate added. Quite a nice drink but where are my favourite beans..... killed by commercialisation.

Well, you\'ll enjoy your coffee, and so will Michael, but not in Costas. I shall spit out most coffee.
You will say to me: \'Oh you, you\'ll just have whisky and water!\' lol.
Never knew coffee was so connoisseurial - long word there too!

Great write Andy although, as I know I\'ve said before, I much prefer coffee made in a cafetiere. I recall the grumpy old men on the tele complaining about being served by Baristas of uncertain east European origin who could hardly make themselves known and had no knowledge of coffee. I can relate to that having asked in Costas (on my one and only visit) about the coffee and being given a blank look - he had no idea of the type or origin of the coffee being served.

Aha, echoes of rebirth. Do you ever wonder about those who have passed and come again? What they are, what will be their challenges. Will they too gaze into the moons enigmatic trance?

A sizzling dish from Broadway
Fancied her chances with swordplay
But a dashing young chef
Carved her very last breath
And served her up finest gormet

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.

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

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.

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...😕

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?

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

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.

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.
