I always drove company cars and it comes a bit hard when in retirement I have to buy them - but still love the smell of a new one - sadly it\'ll be another couple of years before my current motor car will need replacement - great read and must now watch the video.

New cars are so much fun and smell so wonderful! Good luck! Isn\'t \"heavy snow\" untypical for England? Thanks for the music - the high energy level of the orchestra was such fun to watch! I loved the conductor(ess?)!

Gold,
The end of ripples...the end of us! It’s a good thing to be reminded. So let’s make some good memories while we can! I enjoyed the read and listening to “Windmills of the Mind”! A great posting!

It’s sad, the way life seems to lose
It’s magic as we get older.
I wish we could capture it, hold on to it, take it out and use it when life seems too drab and meaningless.
I liked your poem:)

A fine and true write Gold. Yes, I tried casting pebbles in a pond. Then someone came along and told me it had iced up! Wondered why I was not getting far! lol.

Not much point in tossing pebbles in at the moment - they\'ll only skid across the surface - fine work Andy.

Thanks ANDY ~ The trouble is most conversation is trivial and it gets trivial answers. I have several Friends with whom I have in depth conversation about things Spiritual ~ Temporal & Scientific and I relish our encounters of the third kind. In a piece we wrote for a Christmas Skit is the line \"I wanna put my white coat on again ~ talk with Academic Gentlemen ~ Play with our Model Molecules ~ Smell H2S again ~ Make compound out of THIOPHEN ~ I ain\'t seen a good explosion in Years. The Science conversations when engaged in Research are very special ~ among people who share similar interests and a common (but rare vocabulary ~ about quantum mechanics etc !) is a thing of beauty ~ but alas \"en~passant\" conversations are very mundane compared with those privileged years. Once at a wedding (I am an ex-Rock Climber) I found that with the Best Man ~ I could discuss the pros & cons of \"The Curving Crack on Cloggy\" but such moments are rare ! Thanks for making the point ~ I refuse to carry a MOBILE PHONE ~ too intrusive and too trivial ~ Angela even brings hers to BED ! Yours BRIAN

A lot of truth to what you said. We are so used to being interrupted by commercials and texts, we no longer have an attention span.

Whilst visiting the Leicester Botanical Gardens on Saturday we were amazed that we only saw about 12 people and everyone except a couple of very young children, were looking down at their mobiles (probably texting each other) - no attention given to each or to the beautiful surroundings - no wonder communications are almost a thing of the past. Based on this I wonder if even spoken words will soon be a thing of the past.

Oooooooo a hard truth that we aren\'t even aware of most times..... there\'s often an element of \"what can I say so they won\'t think me this or that\" going on ...

I admire the painting and love the poem. My daughter went through some hard times way back (she is now happily married and just had her first baby) and during that time took up painting at the local community college while waiting to get into University of Hawaii. Her first two paintings won a school competition. During that time she painted a lot, but when life got better, the painting stopped. Right now there is no time. I am so glad that your daughter is painting again. The poem is beautifully sensitive and full of love and hope!

A lovely write and fine pic Gold.
But as for me - that looks a bit like the ball and chain KP put on my leg. There\'s no hope for me though. How will I ever break free? I should have known, with the wedding being on Halloween! I did not see the bad omen. heehee.

Gold,
The more she is silent, the louder are her screams! She is extremely quiet, but her body movements communicate a different
message!
A relatable poignant write, my friend!

Reminds me of when i was asked to stand quietly in a sound laboratory where they were testing the volume of noise generated by gas fires - after about twenty seconds the noise of blood pulsing through my ears was close to painful.
Silence reveals the missing. The missing shouts for attention.

I know you have the strength to overcome. I can recall my father telling me never to get drawn into pointless argument - in silence there is strength.
