friday 28th November 2008

Sharp Cold Chilly weather today,but nice and fresh look out across the sea watch the waves and pause, think about those who living takes them to work on the sea.Fishing or transport some taking others to leisure pursuits.
Only ever been at sea once in a storm it was not very nice when we got near to harbour gates it was mega rough and the ship went back to sea to sit out the storm.
l was all a panic, asked why when we so close could we not get into port,the bursar informed me it was safer to go back out of the harbour and turn the ship around after waiting for a lull in the storm.
at times like this enjoy sippping a cup of tea round the table.
Training tonite never know whose gonna turn up at the gymn sometimes about 17-20 next time doors open only 5.
last gig of the year is soon got people connecting to book for christmas but not worth the cost or effort.
stay warm.

What if God was the DJ would we still be playing 'delirious' or 'faithless, guru josh, Abba,the chicken song, Special D'.
Is GOD a DJ anyway?

THIS MY CHURCH THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!

This is my Church This is where I heal my hurts
What is your image of Church? What do you feel is worship? How can we enjoy fresh expressions and still be meaningful to the Lord Jesus.
church should be Faith Food Fellowship and Fun.
This is my Church This is where I heal my hurts It's in natural grace Or watching young lives shape
It's in minor keys Solutions and remedies Enemies becoming friends When bitterness ends
This is my Church This is my Church

tuesday 25th November 2008

Only one months time Christmas day will be here and nearly gone.
my really busy period has been and is nearly ended.
Need time alone ,in the sun, far away from this weather.seen the snow always good on a card or in a book. never feels correct under ones feet,slushy, cold, wet ,slippery.
Felt drained just lately had 14 days without a break including gigging lots of late finishes and early starts.
life is sometimes like this and l would not change my life .

meanwhile outside the Sefton arms;-
Going back to the corner where I first saw you, Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move, Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand, Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am, Some try to hand me money they don't understand, I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do, How can I move on when I'm still in love with you... Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet, And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.So I'm not moving... I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here, I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows, If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet, And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.So I'm not moving... I'm not moving.I'm not moving... I'm not moving.
People talk about the guy Who's waiting on a girl...
There are no holes in his shoes But a big hole in his world... and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news, And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved..
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet, And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving... I'm not moving.I'm not moving... I'm not moving.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you, Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

wenesday 12th November

don`t ask me why?
but sometimes l don't always video the programme and sit there watching with special friend then before end of the programme tape stops and another programme starts.
l kinda shrug my shoulders check the remote find it running fast or slow on the clock and reset.
Jessie usually goes MAD.
Like wouldn't set the video wrong tome to spoil the night.
it the things that blindside you at 4 o`clock on a Tuesday afternoon that we are least ready for.
things,simple things like that can test our relationships
can trigger other stuff.
suppose at times they become the straw that broke the camels back.
sometimes a wrongly videoed programme can result in crazy words and arguments.
sometimes just silence,followed by nice supper eaten in silence followed by laughter.
then bold statements like;-
"never going to wrongly video programme again "
"always going to add extra minutes at the end".
its the things that blindside you at 4 oclock on tuesday afternoon that we are most tested by?
how about you??????

Nov 11, 2008

Last time visited Mums

What don't get is why he had too block me in,
he was getting his cocoa where he normally gets it 3 times every week.
Don't wanna appear moral but why block me in?
Why take 30 minutes to let me out?
Ernie what was you up too?

tuesday 11 th November

l don't wear poppies nor do l wear any type of jewellery.
This can cause incitement as people feel especially this time of the year that you are causing an offence by not stating something.
People also feel if you don`t wear a poppies that you are stating a fact.
its just that l have always felt uncomfortable with badges,rings etc...
Words to describe me at present.
Eager.
Confused.
Developing.
Content.
Passionate.
Keen for the next few weeks to pass re gigs ,training ,meeting family and friends.
Confused by mixed phone calls.
Developing as human, man ,worker, recognise need to further develop in lots of areas also.
l am not a finished article.
Passionate about lots of things People Relationships Faith Prayer Work Music
Content with work, life, home.

monday 10th November

had a quiet weekend on Saturday drove to station,parked let someone else take the strain as l took the train.lt was cheaper.
Been getting odd phone calls,when l get to phone goes dead,when l phone back they?do not talk?or switch phone off.
learnt a few years ago to accept eventually the person will speak
any thoughts from your own experience?
Sunny today,apparently last month we only had 30 minutes of sun.when the mist comes in on the Dean it stays for several days bit romantic,but really feel cut off.
last week l went to west Yorkshire love the houses around that area they look so solid ,our house because the ground is porous underneath they look and feel vulnerable.
we have large gardens in our village and lots of space.
Down side we don't have any shops chippie ,a Co-op, (hate them) very few facilities
not complaining that just the way it is!

friday 31 st October 2008

Do you ever just sit and listen to a record ?
l can remember as a teenager playing a record several times, of course in those days it was vinyl and if you left the top arm over,(l think) the record would go back to the beginning and play again.
This evening listening to `Dark eyes` Dylan 3 times l went back and played it.
the song is stripped to just vocal, harmonica and guitar.
Don't know why it just caught me.
Sitting looking towards the coast from the comfort of upstairs, and there was something atmospheric. give the track a listen. Sometimes find simple things like a track of music, phone call from a friend ,evening walk, cheese on toast are pure enjoyment.
Why?
Let me know what you think, `forever angel` still missed.

we attempt two things raise up heavy, near the top of any development in community /business/entertainment/ sport.

Conversations are essential, well you already know that. they claim that in any business you need Education, Experience, exposure. Further c...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
