Life as
always seems to be speeding up, with no let up, work has been definitely speeding
up, it’s all good in the hood, just Busy, Busy, Busy, well it was until
yesterday when I took a surprise tumble, well it was a surprise to me, right up
until I hit the floor then it was a big ouch moment! As I got to the main bus
terminus, sore and feeling sorry for myself I was helped onto public transport
by a pensioner (considerably older than myself) who had took pity on the
shuffling mess attempting to get on the bus……damn that was me!
Writing has
not been at the forefront of my mind as my wife also had two tumbles (I was
simply copying her) her first resulting in dislocated fingers and then because
of this when she did exactly the same trapeze stunt, she cracked her wrist, she
now has a lovely blue cast, I simply dented my pride! The wife left me and the
pooch when her and the youngest went on a jaunt to London to see a play, she
came back to find out I had knocked out the fire place to assist with the
incoming wood burner, what should have taken me about 90 minutes in the bad old
days took nearly six hours over two days, when did I become so decrepit? Answers
on a postcard to who gives a rat’s ass! God I was sore and in pain…. OUCH!
What has
brought life into true focus the man I’m named after my Uncle Colin passed away
this morning, and the brakes were applied to life in short order, the family
circle of the originals is down to one Auntie and around five cousins, that
really does the circle of life into clear focus, it seems it really is life’s
way of saying our family has ever decreasing circles, am I sad, I am but I realise
now that he lived his life, he enjoyed his life, I hope I can get to 84, to be
honest my health issues are the same as my uncles, I have his name and most of
his hereditary medical issues, so there is hope for me yet…….allegedly!
Tonight, my
intention is to have a drink a rather large drink and to raise my glass and
celebrate his life, it’s what he would have wanted, he had a DNR tag, he wanted
no flowers, no funeral policy, he went in his sleep exactly what he wanted, I wonder
where I get my life view point from, I just realised, Unc here’s to you!
So, there
you go it took a couple of falls and a death in the family to get me back to
break the dam and get writing, the usual normal service (well as normal as I can
do) will resume presently…………Honest!
Until then
stay safe stay alive and until then………...Toodles!
