Queens visit to Dublin



Around 100 Republican demonstrators attempted to disrupt the first day of the historic State visit clashing with police as she laid a wreath at a garden of remembrance.

But on Tuesday night, Mr Hague said the overwhelming response of the Irish people had been welcoming, representing the strength of the relationship which existed between the two countries.

Speaking alongside his Irish counterpart Eamon Gilmore, Mr Hague said: “What struck me was the number of people out on the streets waving and smiling and cheering and so that has shown a very strong and warm welcome today."



lorentus tried to steal a pigeon from a shop
why he needed to do this l will never know.
except l have been young and foolish
daft things like others l have done.
The consciences for him
were real,
1 threat of prison
2 Visit from the police
3 severe beating from dad
4 stern chat from myself

few days later a rather subdued Lorentus
left Criaova for Chalvey UK

LIFE is tuff.

Someone reminded me of a quote about getting old being no game for sissies.
In another place , another time, spoke about the rise of wayside testimonies to persons who have passed on.
Such are common in Malta.
My father Tony, is very ill
he has been ill for many years
for the last 2 months he only been been fed thru a tube into his stomach.
Andy daughter is 14 months old, she is fed the same way! 
Perhaps life is not as hard for myself as l sometimes imagine.

All around are signs of summer,
new birth,
new hope,
promises of better time and better days ahead.
The sun across the fields
fields of gold,
ahead days of Gold
hope
fun
love
laughter
struggles.
Some pain
more tears,
life is tough
hard journey,
the road is travelled by us all wether 14 months or 73.
They say the good things is we don`t know what's ahead,
but life as well as being tuff is loads of fun.
Yes that's it loads of fun 
If its a struggle for you at present and you do not wanna contact me.
Know think of you as  write this.

Moses, He just doesn`t know about that song.

Get the cat and drive real slow
From the welly's of the Norths worse Gardener comes this;-.

After loads of time in the garden it does not look any different and still loads more to do.
Moses (Cat), had been watching me and needed feeding, then off to connect with some young persons.

That song ...Joshua Keddison ..`Jessie`.

"Baby, I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea
We could go to Mexico; you, the cat and me
We'll drink tequila and look for seashells
Now doesn't that sound sweet"

cuppa

as a Greenbelters I love tea,

As most know that the youth group led by me are engaged
in a wealth of social justice issues. fat and famine, christian aid,
occassional community garden.

so often looking to find ways to make a difference.

today l have to work hard on my own garden because l have been outa the country a lot
it is completly over grown
add to that l do not like gardening
but as the BarBQu season arrives it needs to lokk good at least so we can sit out eat chat have a cuppa
so several days of long hard slog ahead
also funding applications and jobsearching going on
bit stressed s try to make the bills on JSA but not the only one
Dear God bless us as we face each simple day with its not so simple issues.

Power



A sunny day in on the north east coast UK, yet the sea has such power
and we are still only now getting used to harnessing this formation.
Today l was reading a commentary on Matthew 15 v 31-39 and how God power is something we forget about.
The writer Lucas was telling me to rely on Gods blessing and promises from past, both recent and decades ago.
My Faith to meet bills,work for him. to cope with personal issues.
Well it doesn't fail. But worries become more composed then they should be?

love bronte style

freedom to make mistakes and the freedom
not to abuse or be let down

swimming bug

l have literal been bitten by a bug while swimming and its done it about 10 times l was not out very deep but still to far away to be ill

Same coin two sides of society.

We hear about links to organised crime about anti social behaviour , may witness evidence of drug dealing every day. Smell plus see the drug...

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"
