I did think of showing this video before, as it features one of my favourite songs, sung by the wonderful John Tams (British people will know him from his role in 'Sharpe'). But I was unsure of its combination with stills from the D-Day landings. I thought, in a way, it altered the song's message; a story of trawlermen far from their loved ones, hoping...

it truly is amazing how our conception of everyday life is altered because of forgetfulness. i agree, the duty of every generation is to remind and preserve history..If we don't, what purpose would there BE.

happy weekend to you too...
grayb:
Most timely and topical. I am moved, inspired, and very glad to have made your acquaintance.

Thank you for sharing the song (superb) and the video (very appropriate).

CEILIDHS FOR WORLD WELLBEING!

The party on Saturday went off fantastically. Loads of people turned up, and we all danced our socks off. The band were great, despite giving me kittens by turning up 45 minutes late. The weather was beautiful too. All in all, a great night (although I could have done without Wifey drunkenly demanding a bottle of champagne at midnight - that...

Two stories from my past life which I think sit together well, and are about the value of life. I think.

My first mountain rescue callout, while working as a trainee countryside warden, was to be on hand to assist with a man who had sustained a heart attack while walking on Kinder. When we arrived there, we found that the first people on the...

Your first story brings back my memories of working for the NHS. It's a very hard yet often worthwhile job. You've evidently got a few stories to tell. x

You must check out Plastique's set "Red Ribbon"---it is brilliant; powerful, erotic, evocative, and beautiful. Absolutely not the kind of everyday-nude-pics that comprise the near-entirety of mainstream pornography.

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are all well out there.

First things first; the puppies. We went, we saw, we chose...although it was incredibly difficult. In fact, we had to choose a No. 1 and a No. 2 choice. This is because the owner of the stud dog has first choice, and she hadn't visited yet. Although, apparently, she wants to take a bitch....

I wanna propose two names for the puppies:
1- JonSnow: my favourite character of my favourite book (Song of Ice and Fire)

We're off to choose a puppy tomorrow! Very exciting. And then we go straight on from there for a few days camping in North Wales with our friends, so I hope everyone has a good weekend, and I'll drop you a line in a week or so.

But I have to update you on my wife's birthday yesterday. First of all, although she went to...

Wow.
I hope your little one is feeling better. I know how heart-wrenching it is.
And Happy Birthday to your wife. The brooch for your wife sounds amazing! I am in awe! So cool!!!

And I thought I would play with the pictures in photoshop, see if I could add some depth for you. They are such stunning pictures even as they are... no wonder the legends of fairies abound... Simply amazing...

Even better, Sweets xxx

Okay, here's a little song for Ted_Stryker , who has made our dear Gyllien very happy, and has helped bring a little cheer into our world with his love for her. I know all of Gyll's friends wish them both lots of happiness!

I've been listening to a lot of Bowie recently, and this song seems very appropriate indeed! So, Mr Stryker, to you, and...

I <3 Bowie.

Holy crap. That is an amazing thing to win. I can only say that I am super jealous.

My mom saw him at the Filmore in San Francisco way back when people still thought he was a "weird" nobody and fell in love then. She was never one to push anything on us but when I discovered him pretty much on my own in my early teen years (12 perhaps) she was happy. =P

CAUTION: THIS BLOG MAY CONTAIN PUPPIES

Hi All

First of all, thanks for the nice remarks about the poem. It's an awful long time since I've tried to write anything remotely worth sharing, so I'm glad you liked it. The tulips are all blousy and drunk now, especially with the wind and rain we've had almost constantly for the past few days. But the geraniums...

Hi All

Apologies for my extended absence. What do you mean, you didn't notice? Tsk!

Since our home PC got some virus problems a while back, I've been using my company laptop, which wasn't a problem until the Web Filter designated SG as pornography and blocked access. But, on the bright side, it did prompt me to finally get the PC sorted, and it didn't...

So.

I'm a member of a few groups on this site. But I occasionally get the feeling they are a little dull and worthy. You know, UK Politics, Anti-racism ('I hate racists' 'So do I' 'Hooray!'), The Book Club, Folk Music and so on.

So, today I decided to swing by the Masturbation Group to see what they talked about. To be honest, I wasn't...

I've been in self imposed exile for the past few days. I immensely enjoyed this, and the other two blogs I had missed.

Nasty weather here lately. It went down to 2C the other night. Rain and wind every day. I Ioved the photos you posted - beautiful gardens and splendid weather!

Thanks for sharing the glimpses of your life...
and the lego vid, music and history smile
mrsted_stryker:
THAT group makes me laugh. I go in there when I need some comedy material. I mean, I have enough masturbation material in my email INBOX! wink

So are you out of the doghouse hun?
