Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Apologies to anyone offended.I was bored and started to write good, but it took on an existence of its own.
On the subject of "life of its own" I thought today that some of you might have some experience of hallucinations. Mine are increasing continuously and are the domain of folks suffering from PARKINSON'S disease .
Let me explain how one particular one besets me.
Imagine sitting in a chair idly viewing the room you are in and all the objects around you without being conscious of the fact that everything is a different distance to you, there are blocks of colour.
Try to imagine being faced with a room where the objects have changed their place & perspective. Shapes mingle irrationally and change colour. At first I was wary of these events . Now I just wait until I regain normal service.
interesting ennit?

It always amazes me how you manage to keep up your great spirits RJ, you are one hell of a man and a fine example to all us petty moaners.
One of me teenage grandsons has something up with him, don’t ask me any medical terms, I’m just useless at them, but it seems all the food he eats has to be gluten free, and seeing that he does most of his eating here in his grannies (they all love Phyllis’s cooking) the wife cooked some gluten free fairy cakes for his tea tonight, all was well and good until she took them out of the oven and placed them on a big plate, then the other grandson comes in after smelling the baking and makes a bee line for the plate of cakes, he grabs two and is just about to devour them when she lets out a roar at him “Get your maulers off them cakes Sean, they’re for Liam, they’re glutton free”
She’s as bad as me for the medical terms.

I often do that if the horse's name strikes a chord with me, so that’s Sweetie and Pug off the list.
I’ll have me eye out now for a Spitting Gummy horse eating a fruitcake with a gem in his ear and called Robert, running somewhere tomorrow I hope.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
yes I've always loved John Lennons song "the Luck of the Irish" although it's painful too! I think his father was Irish wasn't he?If you had the luck of the Irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands
Goddamned
Goddamned
If you could keep voices like flowers
There's be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn
In the 'pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld Eireland
If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like Galway Bay
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would be one big blarney stone
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids and the I.R.A.
As the bastards commit genocide
Aye, aye
Genocide
Okay
You should have the luck of the Irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
One more time
You should have the luck of the Irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
Hey, yes, you'd wish you were English instead
Songwriters: John Lennon / Yoko Ono
