Bleurgh

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Figure hanging on a leather band
Pa consults the watch he cups in his hand
The jewel movement measures lost and vanished time
Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and quicklime."

Elvis Costello: "Favourite hour"
From the album: "Brutal youth"

Ever a favourite favourite


Frantic weekend, starting with a collection stint for one of my two favoured charities and some sweepy hoovy, before a barbecue cooked for Number One Daughter, who'd originally volunteered to pay for, collect and cook the damn thing. Nothing left over at the end, though, which is always a good sign of tasty grub?

Then a very emotional christening for my (first) great nephew, with a long-overdue gathering of the clans on Father's Day. Only clouded by the self-imposed exile of our own Father, due to his stubbornness - after twenty years since the divorce - to be even in the same county as our Ma? Definitely his loss, because a great time was had by all and there are the photos to prove it!

Welcome to this world, Connor. And pleased we are to hear the announcement of your parents' engagement.
