Aprosexic - Old age should burn and rave at close of day

E.N.T.

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"The sugar-coated pill is getting bitterer still
You think your country needs you but you know it never will.
So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag
Don't dilly dally boys - rally round the flag
Give us your daily bread in individual slices
And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis."

Elvis Costello: "Pills and Soap"
From the album: "The Very Best Of"

All the classics

So, with Nephew D. packed off to that there London - and after some 25 years - we're back to being just the two of us.

And because dinner portions for two will take some getting used to, my lunch today consists of the third left over from yesterday's Indian Cottage Pie dinner, and will drive my colleagues mad when the smell of turmeric in the mash gets re-nuked in the microwave.

Meanwhile, though the memories of the fun of raising a family will not disappear, it will be interesting to see how the next wave of our lives together will unravel?

We could manage another fifty years on the planet. Who knows?

But while that still feels a little way off, it's Empty Nest Time.
