Frustration.

This sums up how I feel at the moment. It's not helped by Facebook reminding me what we were doing a year ago, compared to now.

I can think of a few people this poem applies to!


Frustration

by Dorothy Parker

 

If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;

Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.

But I have no lethal weapon-
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day!

It's International Labour Day and the first day of spring, well worth celebrating.

I've spent the last four nights sleeping in a chair because of my spinal problems. Things seemed to be going well so last night I went back to bed.

Unfortunately the agonising spasms came back and I also hurt my rib quite badly.

So no May Day March in London for me - I've met up at Clerkenwell Green for the last time. No more red banners and firey speeches, no more confrontations. No more chants and revolutionary songs. 

I've been there most years for nearly four decades. A lot as changed in those years - for good and bad.

I miss it.

It's sad and I must admit I haven't adjusted to it yet.
