Yesterday, I was thinking of Linda J. - a lady (now 50 years old) I used to know many many moons ago.... someone who was there for me & now I've lost complete contact with !! That got me thinking even harder of the friends I've known over the years, who could be anywhere - where are you now ?
The Linda J thing was completely my fault - it was all around the Independence Day thing, 24 years ago - but others, well - to quote Robert Plant (sort of) "some friends fall by the wayside, others fall flat on their face".....
Not going to dwell on this - it'll bring me down - but if you're out there & you remember the "good old days" - get in touch - even if was my fault that the friendship went south - say "Hello"...... it could be fun to chew the fat !!
Some years back, I looked at the Friends Reunited web site - just left a message... next thing I know, I'm being contacted by old school friends I could not - for the life of me - remember !! It was a small school, but....... where did all these people come from ???? One guy was cool - MJ - who now lives out in the US of A... he actually took the time to telephone the hospital while I was there in 2002 !! I hadn't seen or heard him for years & wham... he is on the phone from the States !! Oh well - now I've lost his e-mail address, so we've parted company again... my fault !!
Oh well......
I'm sat here again, while the ladies of the house are out on the road. Tomorrow would have been B's Mums birthday, so ME & her are heading to put flowers on the grave & visit Grandma G, who is Mum's twin sister & now adopted as a Grandparent. J is still in bed - well, it is only 11.40 - so I'm being looked after here in my old age !! Another quiet day in paradise....
The music of choice is still the 6 cd set I was playing yesterday. It really is dross, but it kind of has a hook in me at the moment.... I guess that's the selling point of these things ? 101 tracks that most of us might remember from the radio or old records we bought & they just play along in the back ground - giving us memories we had forgotten..... that explains a lot really !!!
Take care people !!
