I'm back with a wordy vengeance and need to catch up with my regular followers and groups that I loved visiting. I guess I've missed Magpie Tales the most. Besides today's entry, my last poem was Mag 184. Rhyme withdrawal is one of the most difficult to manage, but I intend to shoot up hoards and hoards of blogs to get the habit going again.
Anyhow - a few family things worth a mention. PeaPod and his band No Need For Idols played Glasgow's King Tuts and performed a song that he himself wrote about his father (The Cheaper Half). It was very emotional hearing it in all it's glory live and on stage. And reporting on me other son's band......I'm happy to report that Paul from Hotel India has recovered from his broken wrist and gigs should start a happening soon.
And now for a (kinda) nasty and nice bit of news. Kerri and James ( my daughter and her hubby ) made the papers when an intruder was discovered having sneaked into their home! Probably smuggled into the country via a banana bunch, this False Widow spider was cutting about their house like a welcomed tenant! I know how regular spiders frighten the crap out of Kerri but these ones are of the few in Britain that can give a nasty bite. Even I, chief 'pidie saver in my own abode would have been tempted to slipper-squish this bugger.
And finally, on a cheerier note. James's landscaping company (Gavin Jones) of whom he is the boss, won the Bali British Awards title for 2013, held at Grosvenor House in London. Hosted and presented to them by Hugh Dennis, regular panellist on TV comedy show, Mock The Week (I'll upload a short video of his spontaneous voice-over talents on my side bar shortly) it sure was a proud day. Can't wait to take another tour again next month! Worth a click here if you're interested! Off for a little catch-up now....I'm a bit rusty, but It's nice to be back.....XxX
