"Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow."

The Moody Blues: "Never comes the day"
From the album: "This is the Moody Blues"

My disappointment about not going wreck-fishing today is not so much the missed opportunity to catch some decent-sized fish but the thwarted plan to spend a day afloat with Number One Son and Ol' Sparky.

I just hope the skipper didn't cry off too prematurely..

"I'll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight
And wonder while you fade."

Moby: "The Great Escape"
From the album: "Play"

Despite the most serious of misgivings, we may well be afloat tomorrow.

We're providing seven of the crew of eight and very much looking forward to fishing over a wreck in 250' of water.

But if it blows up again - as it did at the weekend - we'll be well pi55ed!

"Once you're inside they won't take you for a ride
They got a good deal for you and your automobile
For the right price they will sell you fuzzy dice
And leather hand grips for your steering whee ee al."

This week was to have seen me take off most of what's left of last year's holidays, but events have proved otherwise and I'm now not off until Thursday, which leaves but one day to finish off laying the laminate floor in the kitchen and clean up the fishing tackle in expectation of a day afloat on Saturday, eh Buddy?

"Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same."

I really, really want to go sea fishing.

Come on Buddy1, when we sailin' ?

Enjoy your weekends, y'all.

"Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes, she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend."

Oasis: "Some might say"
From the album: "(What's the story) Morning Glory"

in the eyes of the Lord." (And this from an atheist) as, in the minutes between the alarm sounding off and my actual rising time, I conducted a full-on exorcism.

"You want to fall from this ledge, and end the malevolence and maliciousness that you perpetrate on this world."

Then the attending priest offered the pocket of his hi-vis jacket for donations (when I'd done all the hard work?).

If these sober dreams of mine get any more life-like, I'm gonna start pitching the scripts at Hollywood producers, make my fortune and go back on the bottle.*

44 days to go.
