A tough seaman he was sick on my mother's lino once too often & she said either he (ROBERT) uncle Bob goes or I go.
It was touCh and go for a while.
After Bob went he left the SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM written BY that chap Lawrence of Arabia.
I never read them cos there were only 2 volumes that I could see & my dad said they weren't suitable for me to read. This was my first knowing encounter with parental hypocrisy, for in the sideboard behind the books on the CORONATION were the PERFUMED garden & the KAMA SUTRA.
I'm sure there was much learning to be done, on the Estate.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Life can be very frustrating!The lighted match that breaks in half just as you have struck it!
The pipe that’s out but starts a fire within one’s jacket pocket.
The ember that jumps from the fire, it’s whereabouts in doubt!
These pyrotechnic wonders are sent to try us out!
The cup that empties itself out when carrying a tray,
The champagne cork that pops itself when 20 feet away,
The milk that boils while someone knocks politely at the door,
These things are sent to try us out- but isn’t it a bore?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Time to hit the sack my friendsBefore you drive me round those bends
You put up with my nutty posts
You watch the boys and all their boasts
But all in all I have to say
I always come back every day
So now I leave you and say Goodnight
At least I'm happy you will not fight.
