Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you,
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter now.

And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a kingdom beyond the skies.
But I am lost within this half-world,
It hardly seems to matter now.

Play me my song.
Here it comes again.
Play me my song.
Here it comes again.

Just a little bit,
Just a little bit more time,
Time left to live out my life

Ah that’s lovely Sweetie, really nice.
I think that woman has the love bug bad, maybe she’s one of Gummy’s ex’s from Liverpool and she can’t live without her Mersey dreamboat.
Just thinking, manys the dreamboat turned out to be a tug (thug), my sister married one when she was very young, thankfully they parted fairly quickly and she's now happily married again to a lovely fella.

Thanks for posting the answers to the quiz Sweetie, I haven’t finished the third one yet so I can do it at my leisure and see how I do.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Talking about finding old things in fields and in cliffs.
Believe it or not as it bothers me not, but back in the late sixties I was once commissioned by the national museum to put together a gold and silver chalice dated around 500 AD, found by a farmer while he was ploughing his field in Co. Meath, his neighbour was not far away, he was a sugar beet farmer, out standing in his own field I believe.
It was beside a skeleton and was battered and broken in six parts, the skeleton was in bits too but I don’t think solder and a cleaning would have helped him recover.
Who knows St. Patrick himself probably used it at some time, he was here in 432 so we’re told, the museum paid me handsomely for the job, bless their dear hearts.
I made up a children’s story about it, used to tell it me kids at bedtime, saying that as I was cleaning out the chalice I found some dried up seeds at the bottom, planted them and up came a thornless rose tree, it had green flowers and white leaves and special magical powers etc. etc. my kids loved it and still remember it well, they often slag me about “Saint Patricks Rose”

A couple of years ago I was fallowing my hobby of geocaching. If you don't know what that is, it's a bit like 'hide & seek' for grown ups. You hide something , leaving a small notebook and let other s find it from encrypted instructions on line. I was looking for a place to hide mine and as I pushed it into a small gap in the limestone cliffs, I noticed a 'clinking' sound on my watch strap. Looking and feeling around in the dark hole I found a bottle covered in dust but when wiped you could read a piece of paper inside.
The hole in the rock where I found it!


The bottle


The news paper


And the guy that hid it back in 1890's.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Ah a piece from one of my favorite musicals - is this part of the quiz by the way? For me it was a toss up between three notable singers who sang it in the show : Elena Markova; Elena Giardini or Lea Salonga??????? hmm???

I guess pickin ya best singer is not an objective thing heh - lots of memories there and sentiments and love jangles but for me the voice that clicked the most was Elena Markova - now that yanked a few ones??

Miserable weather we're 'avin heh?
