How Long?

I know time goes by but it did take me by surprise how long it has been since I last wrote on here and how much life has changed.
This blog was never going to set the blogging world on fire but really i must slap myself for not writing more,how many times have I thought to myself will having a shower I must write that or while day dreaming as I reluctantly do the washing up I must blog that.
With the launch of the new blogger app I really have no reason not to but I get the feeling those words might come back to haunt me.

John Hughes

I started to watch a documentary last night called " Dont You Forget About Me" which i quite didn't finish as the red wine kicked in but it is the search for John Hughes and that got me thinking..................................................





What a wonderful director and writer he was and how he so enriched my life,tonight John i raise a glass to you and say "Thank You"

Writers Block!

Just thinking which can be dangerous in itself,why do i think i have to post one item a day when often it seems to me from the pressures of everyday life that maybe multiple posts are the way forward for me.
Then again i don't think i would want to read a blog where everything is posted once a month!

A Late Night Memory

My Brother had been banging on about a group called "The Gaslight Anthem" for a while and how good the CD "The 59 Sound" was before i got around too finally listening to it.It had been loaded on the i pod for a while before it got played as a last resort and somehow it turned into one of those slow burning CD's that just grows and grows and now has been played to death but just leaves me with the happy memories of driving home from the hospital late at night with this loudly playing...........





And i must say that the new album "American Slang" nicely carries on from the last album.

Just Waiting!

We Salute You!

I can't believe how long it is since my last post but i do believe that i have a good reason for the delay in updates.
Now sleeping soundly up stairs is my new 16 day old daughter,i know that this just didn't happen overnight but things never seem to go to plan as C happened to be late(Takes after her mother)but when i say late i should say two attempts to try and get her into the world spanning a week but i am getting side tracked from what i wanted to say and thats not talking about babies.
When i started writing this blog again the plan was a post a day for a year because "it couldn't be that hard?" so that why i find myself jumping off the couch to write a sincere thanks to all the people that write blogs on a daily basis that i take for granted,i know now that it does take time to write a good entertaining blog with original content and i swear i will never moan again when my favorite blogs are not always up to date and i have to wait a few days.
I realize also that i don't have the best attention span in the world as the number of posts that have been lost to the depths of wasted time day dreaming on the internet grows at an alarming pace but i'm still going just.............




Views from the Hospital on attempt one!

Lyrics To Love

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing togo
And by five o'clock everything's dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
Like the doped white mice in the college lab

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same videoevery day
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about
All the repeats on T.V.
And computer terminals report some gains
On the values of copper and tin
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
And we'll all go along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
