And All Was Well.

Goldfinch60



It was so odd last night,

I went to choir as usual,

Something that I have done,

Done since the first day,

The first day it formed,

Formed sixteen years ago.

Being a founder member

I had seen it all,

The good and the not so good,

But mostly so superb

And so satisfying.

But last night was different,

The music director had a bad time,

He criticised us all the time,

He must have had a bad day.

We went home,

I was not too happy with the night

But we got indoors,

I put on some soothing music

And poured myself a drink,

Laphroaig of course.

And there I was calming down

With the three best things,

Three best things in my life.

My lover by my side,

Chopin being played gently,

And a Laphroig being sipped.

Calmness came to me

And all was well in my world.

    Yes lol, my singing upset him!
    Did I pop round with the water when you got home, and make things worse? lol.

    • Goldfinch60

      No, bolted and padlocked the door to stop you coming in Orchi. LOL

        Love this. I can relate to this so much. Things getting to me, needing a drop of whisky, calming music and my wife and dog on the sofa with me. 🙂

        I love how you are able to take a difficult moment and turn it into something bright. A gift or learned it matters not, always brilliant

            Other people have problems no one is aware of and sometimes they act out. You have found the perfect solution for any cares you might experience, Andy.

            • Goldfinch60

              So true Dave, experience has taught me how to deal with these things.

                We all have moments when we are not at our best, but I'm sure he will apologize in his own way. 🌹
