And Then, A Dream…

   Last night I had one of the most lifelike dreams I can remember. And it was about? My one lottery lucky dip had won! This dream resulted in the rest of the night spent with my head in bits trying to figure out how I’d share the winnings between all family members avoiding possibly huge tax demands.
   I considered contacting Ange but decided on a somewhat more professional account and and tax advisor to be on the safe side.
   On going downstairs come morning, I checked my ticket and dreams do indeed come true as I discovered I’d got a winner! However it quickly became obvious I wouldn’t need financial advice as, upon doing the maths, all family members divided into three pounds ten pence doesn’t amount to a whole hell of a lot. Dream on eh?

Quote; H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

And Then, That Is It…

   My prolonged period of mourning for a close, very close family member is drawing to an end and I’ll be back in action here when I have any rubbish to tap out on the tap-top.
   However, there may well be another short period of silent mourning for this once nice country... Bear with me.
   Oh, and bu-by
Ange, it’s been a none event not knowing you.

And Then, All Quiet…

   It’s quiet here owing to an extremely sad, close family loss and will remain so for a while yet to come. No, not me, I’m hanging on...
   Close family but recently not so close owing to my world wide wanderings. Those of you familiar with the structure of a flock of sheep will also understand when I say I'm the black one at the back but this has never diminished my love and affection for all family present and past. Amen.
