Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[tikay]

Isambard Kingdom Brunel
Laid the track and laid it well
Early trains they went like hell
Why it’s failed I just can’t tell

As a bard I dredge the well
Seek the words to break the spell
Look for answers I can sell
Poetry in motion quell

Snow and rain and leaves that fell
All combined to give him hell
As it fails please do not tell
Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Excellent Ralph, good to see you rising above all the tosh & piffle.

Here is the great man's wiki page - note, in particular, the Timeline. Did any man ever achieve so much, in so short a time?

Don't you just hate it when a parcel arrives, you have no idea what's in it, and the person it's addressed to isn't in?

Open it in such a way that it looks like the postie has damaged it, then when said person gets back in make sure you are holding a phone shouting "that is not good enough, this parcel arrived opened, I want to speak to a manager"

Found out what was in the parcel but I've been sworn to secrecy.

I could tell you....

But then Mrs Red would kill me.

Have you been out and about around the place yet this morning, or too busy grinding with the kidz?

My place or this place?

When it comes to poker I'm like one of those old geezer mature student types on campus.

The kidz chill with me, I think it's cos they hang on my every word, but really they're elbowing each other in the ribs and laughing up their sleeves.

Normally I'd say, Your place = been out.  This place = not so much.  

But I'm not sure where 'this place' is.  My brain is thinking on levels I didn't know it had this morning.

I wanna Be Yours...


I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your raincoat
for those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
when you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out
I wanna be the electric heater
you’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
hold your hair in deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
that’s how deep is my devotion

This place - checked out the mod's board & my fave diaries.

My place - had a stroll around outside, checked on the fauna & flora. esp the progress of an as yet unidentified sapling as it struggles to get a foothold in the shadow of an established tree. (Tony & I talked about this subject @ Luto Hoo)

Then went into my shed and lifted a pair of 20lb (ish) dumbells as often as I could in as may different ways as I could think of.  

Have to work on maintaining some semblance of upper-body strength now, back in the day, I used to take it for granted.

Is John Cooper Clarke the "Chicken Town" street poet bloke? I love his stuff.

Yep - that's the stuff I was enquiring about.  Pics and occasional updates on progress of unidentified sapling, please and thanks.  Once a week should cover it.  Cheers!

I know all about upper body issues.  It's no fun when the northern girls start heading south...trust me.

I was beginning to panic when you asked for pics and updates, and then I saw that you were talking about the sapling.

He was doing OK until the established tree came into leaf. now his shade is a whole lot shadier.
