WE THOUGHT THE WORDS ~ Of the Protest Song sung by JOAN BAEZ - Were very very appropriate to the PANDEMIC - Enjoy ! JOAN is 79 and still singing as soulfully as ever !
WE HAVE ALL ~ Been touched by COVID 19
Several of our extended Families have contracted
COVID 19 ~ but have now All Recovered ~ Several
Friends have alas died. Because Im a PHYSIOTHERAPIST
I have worked Full Time throughout the PANDEMIC
BRIAN (Lecturer) has worked Part Time but is now Full Time !
It affected our March Wedding ~ Only FOUR GUESTS (Parents|)
Instead if One Hundred ! It afected Our Honeymoon
Cambridge UK ~ instead of Seville Spain ~ Que Sera Sera !
It affected (positively) the move to our New Home.
Because BRIAN was only working @ the College
Three half-days per Week ~ He was able to resurrect the Garden ......
And help SMOKEY CAT settle into his New Home !
Also it helped BRIAN to get to know Our New Neighbours !
Thanks for visit comments welcome - Love Angela 💛 Brian

Thanks B&A.
Why the disappointment? I couldn't turn up to sing at weddings! 'Hooray' they all said. Aww, they are horrible to me! lol.
ANGELA HERE ~ Well Uncle Steve there are POSITIVES & NEGATIVES ! The Garden in the House we bought was badly negelected - but during Lockdown Brian was able to install a Pool with Goldfish and a small waterfall and relay the PATIO etc etc ! He is a very HANDY MAN ! There are of course many NEGATIVES but another POSITIVE was that Brian was able to be with SMOKEY to help Him settle in ! He now rules the roost ! People ask us why didnt we postpone our Wedding *til 2021 ? Well because we are committed Christians & hold Positions of Responsibiliy in an Evangelical Church we could not Cohabit before being married in the Sight of God & the Church. Because we had bought the House in 2019 before COVID we need to be Married - before we moved in ! I know you will understand - OK !
Blessing & Joy to You & Your Levitical Labrador !
Spirit Love Angela Brian & El Gato Ahumido ! ! !
Why not add a POEM to the FUSION ?
I completely understand B&A, despite my swooning at some poems! It's only Fido. He don't allow me much 'excitement'. lol
Yes each one has been affected in one way or another by hearing of losses and perhaps losing someone we love ---- the song says it all for me dear duo - We Shall Overcome.
Love what you've done with the house! Joan is the voice of the day . she'll never be out of date.........
That's more than can be said about MY singing Lorna! heehee. Me sell-by date was centuries ago, but I still warble on! lol.
only four guests,we would have came if,it were possible.love it angela, love always from across the sea melissa
like your songs choice, my personal COVID19 song choice (and mantra) has been India Arie's 'This too Shall Pass':
'But then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the angels whisper that this too shall pass
My ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
So I walk in faith that this too shall pass'
cool piece but i did missread this line
Friends have alas died. Because Im a PHYSIOTHERAPIST
i didnt notice the full stop so i assumed youve been killing people because you are a physio. Hehe.
Oooops sorry TWENTY 3 ~ I posted a comment instead of a reply ~ please check POEM to see it ~ Thanks Yours ANGELA !
ANGELA here ! Thanks for your supportive and very droll comment ! We are not called PHYSIOTERRORISTS for nothing ! In some peoples eyes we are coupled with DENTISTS & our MANTRA is *No Gain without Pain* ! My mission in Life is to get my Clients Mobile & Dextrous again with a tough & consistent exercise regime. We use elastic strips of various elasticiy for them to pit their restoring muscles against. But it is painful ~ but none of my clients have died from *playing with big rubber bands* YET !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey ! ! !
Thanks for your touching story.
At least Brian and Angela you were able to get married. Just think of Princess Beatrice and her wedding a couple of months.
I wish you two the best and many years of married blessings and bliss.
God has kept you both safe and healthy during this virus.
May he continue to do so.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.
