For the first time in years i wandered through Worcester city t he other day and i was taken aback by the number of coffee houses and eateries. And the prices of a cup of coffee!!!
I think i\'lll need to dress up for the occasion next time i fancy a coffee.

Andy,
A great write along with a wonderful video! “Il Trovatore” is a great one! I saw a performance of it not too long ago by a local group of opera singers! It was fantastic!

Andy,
A great write! I enjoyed Leroy Anderson’s “The Typewriter! Never heard his version before; but I have seen Jerry Lewis’ version! He was absolutely hysterical! So many laughs! If you haven’t seen that version, give it a look!
My office was my classroom! No cubicles there. I Loved it!

Being self employed and semi retired it does feel odd to be getting a pension paid to me for doing nothing!
Great video, made me chuckle too, and the whole thing is so well written - by whom i wonder and what other gems did they pen?

HI ANDY ~ If you read my contribution to the OFFICE (FUSION) you will know my OFFICE is an extension to the ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LAB and is full of BRASS MICROSCOPES and rocks & minerals & fossils ! It\'s the first Personal Office I\'ve had and the Coffee (Jamacian Blue Mountain) is on the perk all day ~ I even have a fridge for Milk & petri dishes with cultures etc etc !

Laura🌻 said:
Andy,
A beautiful read. I’m so happy for your wife and you...together you can enjoy once again the gorgeous English landscape! If it’s anything like the images in the George Butterworth’s music video, both of you are blessed to enjoy such landscape! I wish you both many more of those beautiful days you share and be one with nature once again!
I enjoyed the video very much! The landscape and the rural roads remind me a bit of where my mother was born...a verdant, luscious region!
Enjoy!

That is so good to read, especially now that summer is in the air and the buzz of life is all around and to be enjoyed. Natures beauty still rich and green awaiting the suns scorchings.
May you share many more pleasant together times with this new found release.
