Evening Phil,

Yes ive just listened to your new song. You did a good job condensing the story into lyric form.

Can i say this , I felt the music was to up beat for such a sad ole story. Just my tuppence worth Phil.
In my honest opinion  id like it slowed down somewhat..

Thanks as always for sharing.

Some hitch hiker fans were not to pleased he was asked to write the 6th book, They felt no one could
write it like Adams. But Adams wife did, so asked Eoín to do it.

lol Topdown,

I never thought about it like that. It must feel scary to see this. I drove last time i was in Croatia { On the wrong side as we say here ] lol, I tell you Topdown, my pot herbs [ Nerves ] were in shreds. I love driving but it felt completely weird to me to  shift gear from the opposite side. I stopped and bought a huge italian icecream waffle. Sat and cooled off untill the nerves were calmed
Got myself home and didnt drive after that at all.

But i did Eat more Ice cream. lol.

Good song,

WEED ? Is there anyone here on chordie willing to tell me how  smoking weed enhances them ?
I personally never touched it. But I've been around people who have .  They either laughed non stop  it seemed at nothing! Which always irritated me. Or were completely paranoid!
I still prefer to get  high on life . sometimes with a drink or 2 !

Thank you so much for your positive comments.

It does me ould heart good lol

Jason, i do the odd piece but, when  you let one person in life dampen your spirit, it takes sometime to
believe in yourself again. Im doing great now in that department. I removed the negative. Lol.
Im gonna do something this year with all the writings i have.  Its probably why i love chordie. They tell it as they feel it.

Warm Hugs to all .

I get really annoyed at people who think because some one is wheelchair bound "THERE ALSO DEAF ?"

OR, They ask the person with them, How is He / She doing ? Whats that about  ?. Their legs may not  work, but there other abilities do.

I always feel real sad on the ringing out of the Old Year. This year having won the prize, i wasnt with my ususal crowd.
So i thought id be fine. But alas i had to sneak away.  Everything else about the night was fine. Prizes , hotel, and gifts galore. I didnt win a milliion though, or id be typing this from somewhere reaaaaaaaal warm.
Than You as always for reading.

New year- old Heartaches.
                             
Snow filled my hooded coat
As New Year bells rang out
A myriad of snow flakes
To facet on my mouth

I found a sheltered corner
In my need to be alone
In the distant chirpy voices   
“Happy new year everyone"

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld Lang syne!

  I scanned beyond the white
Through every single flake
Recalling loving faces
   In butterfly mosaics.

New Year  brings new days
I’ greet with great respect
But for now I’ll shed my tears
Journey on with old heartaches.

So lovely Linusguitar,

Its such a very personal piece. It reminded me of this.

If its not there then i never really lost it to begin with. ] end of quote.

I do have great  views of scenery here from my house Kap

When i came here many years ago it was rural, exactely where  i  wanted to live.. Lovely wee village and  sprawling country side.
Now its a sprawling mass. But ! I can be where that picture was taken in  a 10 minute drive.  Or the beach in 20 minutes
Im still lucky i guess.

Good to hear from you.
