Is this love?

every week and elderly couple come onto the mobile library. She reads avidly he never touches a book but every week he escorts her to the van, carrying her books and sees her safely aboard before announcing that he will pop over to the shop to see if the paper is in.
Every week she tells him to be careful and to watch the road. When he returns he sits quietlt with his paper while she chooses her books and chats and then he helps her down the steps and carries her books home for her.

It's been a long day

Today I have been taking bets at Tottenham Hotspur (London). This is one of the many little jobs i do in order to keep the family fed and watered.

The job was remarkably easy and the welcome was very warm. My abiding memory of the day however will be the journey down. It wa my first time (and hopefully last) of being passenger in a car doing 150mph in fog

dashes in.......

just calling in to blogville to administer hugs (and the odd slap).

I am tired and I have an early start in the morning as I am working in London.

More later

Just one question

Saw an article in the paper which said that a motion to make Yorkshire day (1st August) a national (bank) holiday has passed the first milestone in Parliament as it has achieved 100 signatures.

Now I am a proud Yorkshireman but i have a counter proposal and that is that Halloween be made a holiday as it falls in a fairly empty time between summer and Christmas and represents many ancient beliefs of this small island (oh and it's my birthday hehe)

So, the only question is should Halloween be a national holiday? or should it be an international holiday?

Carefree days, playful,fun
lazy times 'neath summer sun
little thought, no future planned
hot days and nights go hand in hand

hand in hand through autumn trees
hiding from the chilling breeze
snuggled up with books and wine
preparing for a darker time

Through the darkness,
holding fast
seeking warmth
in bonds that last
remembering much brighter days
good friends both voice and spirits raise

But as we slip on icy verges
we see hope then spring emerges
washed and cleansed by gentle rain
the world is new, life starts again

Toadee goes posh

along with my family i attended a charity ball lat saturday and had a great time. The ball was raising money for a number of charities and i was really proud of the fact that my family were involved with all 5 charities. My brother organised the whole thing and i was deeply touched when he annonced to all present that i had been his inspiration, strange really because i've always seen him as achieving many of the things I would have liked to achieve.

I also helped to raise money by helping with a fun casino.

why do I have 3 blogs when i can't even write one?

answers on a postcard please.

I have decided that my collection of blogs is a symptom of some deep psychological condition. Now to find out what it is lol.........
