Hello. I hope your week goes well. I've been a bit busy but I'm trying to transfer activities from my laptop to the one I got for Blunders. It was refusing to charge and so I took it to be repaired when he died and when I got it back it had forgotten everything he had told it. It can't remember any ...

I've been to a meditation hour on Monday and was going to be phoned in the afternoon for my opinion of the BBC News handling of the Labour leadership contest. I got an email saying they wouldn't be phoning after all, too sensitive by half. Nothing much yesterday. I was due to have a meeting this aft...

Yes Three Wells, living is is a very good way of saying thank you, but don't forget to thank yourself. You carry on under really difficult conditions and make other people's lives worth living. Good for you, and enjoy yourself. Preferably without cutting off your finger tips. I've been watching a Ch...

I took mine down the garden and burnt the lot one day in my thirties. I had read them again and realised I believed they were still true. I never looked back after that and reached the dizzy heights of mediocrity thereafter.

If you go in disguise, you might get away with it. If I see two polar bears in the woods, I'll make a big exception to my normal procedure and make tea. Maybe an orange jelly with mandarin segments in it.

Wotcha Rod. Lovely to see you in here. I've not that long been up. I'm fine, but took a lazy morning reading a book. Victory by Cynthia Harrod Eagles. One of a long series about a family through history. This one is wound around Trafalgar. When it arrived on request from the library, it turned out t...

Sorry, I've not been in for a day. I'm weak now from having my locks curbed. I was going for a long walk this afternoon, but got sidetracked. It's just as well I took a walk in Cleeve Abbey car park and community meadow. I've not been to County Clare. Nothing further north than Bantry so far, via th...

Apparently, he wrote it on a summer's morning after being up all night working on something else. I don't think that spoils it for me. I did love English, but agree that over analysis was a waste of time. I did A level and found the single remark about "The Tempest" that "It was all a...

I have a happy memory of visiting the docks at Southampton in 1959 when the ship 'United States' arrived having been awarded the Blue Riband for the fastest ever Atlantic crossing. A huge cargo door was open and a sailor threw an apple to us. My little sister caught the fastest apple across the Atla...

Hello, thanks for doing the avatar. It looks fine and I like it.

The poem is Cargoes by John Masefield.

I remembered the title but not the name of the poet.
