Thank you one and all for your valued comments. Ray, I also think most people are searching for something but don´t know what it is they are looking for. They are lost, vulnerable and afraid. I agree about markets as they are a different kettle of fish altogether with many jovial faces especially from the stall holders.

Life burns you when you reach out for friendship and lose it Don, as you perfectly sum up in a simple message for us.

Comment is about Sudden. Unexpectd (blog)

Original item by Don Matthews

I think we like to be spoon fed happiness instead of discovering simple joy in ourselves, simply giving in to worldly wants and worries. There is much within that can keep us alive and wanting precious life. You will find more happiness in markets than in supermarkets of course, so go and look for them, support them and their contributions. (I say).

Well written from the heart Keith.

To make chasing poems more simple
Shed your pyjamas as you run
Then kick off your slippers to join them
Invite everyone in on the fun

You may not catch up with your poem
Which could have the last laugh on you
But those who do join you will be many
I doubt those who join will be few ?

Clever thinking dk

Time takes no prisoners, Don - I knew a similar shock in 2018.
Best to be glad it happened rather than be sorry it's gone.
Chin up!

Brian -
how soon we pretend to forget
The days of the tape cassette
But I tell you one thing that "progress" got wrong -
They're perfect for putting words to a song!.

That last couplet sums up the hope for all life this winter.

Many cold nights and animals within them.

Subtle but emotion-provoking piece.?

It's certainly got a bit more complicated in Parliament since the DUP got Co-op ted into power.

Great rhyming Mark. I do however love holidays but as we really only go for the sun we stick to Espana, Portuguese y Las Canarias. Me gusta!

Comment is about HOLIDAYS (blog)

Original item by M.C. Newberry

Know the feeling - and my trusty tape recorder bears witness to my
own literary sacrifices involving leaving a warm bed to record the
words before they leave the mind (which always happens if I return
to sleep). Zzzzz.
PS I envisaged you on a tug on a salvage
operation - rather than a scooter trying to catch up. Funny how mind pictures work!

Comment is about Mensch (blog)

Original item by John E Marks

So true John. It's much easier if we can safely categorise people into the good and bad - but it ignores the complexity of humanity doesn't it. We are not good and bad. We are...

That being said, judgement is rather more difficult with so many shades of grey.

Thanks for reminding me of it so eloquently.
