BEAUTIFUL

 

DAY SIXTY-EIGHT:  Tuesday 9th March 2021:

 

BEAUTIFUL

Do something beautiful today

And paint a masterpiece in this sad old world.

If you and me and everyone else,

did something beautiful today

what would the Mona Lisa have to say ?

Vincent’s sunflowers would smile with pride ?

A simple act of kindness,

Something beautiful today,

I’ll do it if you ‘ll do it,

come on let’s all give it a go.

 

Beautiful is the word to describe yesterday. Here I am 5.51am my right leg is giving me the jip, it’s stiff and has been a pain – literally – but sod it I could not be feeling more happy if I had won the lottery.

 

SMILE

S is for your SMILE

M is for MANY of your SMILES

I is for INFINATITY in your SMILES

L is for LOVE in your SMILES

E is for EVERYONE needs your SMILE

SMILE and make people happy

SMILE

 

I received a BEAUTIFUL e-mail BEAUTIFUL BIG TIME yesterday from BRISTOL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL following the SMILE cards I sent to staff there.

I received a message of THANKS for the support I have been trying to give to OAKGROVE SCHOOL. The evening before schools were about to re-open after months of lock down the headmaster took time to thank me.

The police thanked me for supporting their work in these difficult times.

THANK YOU ALL.

Then came the BIGGIE ! A former homeless rough-sleeper from when we ran our lunch of love telephoned me. We have not spoken for a year, it was so wonderful to hear his voice. He wants me to help him write a book, his life story. Me help him ?  He is ten times as clever as I am. What an honour to be asked.

 

TODAY

Oh what a beautiful morning,

Oh what a beautiful day.

I’ve got a beautiful feeling

Love, Friendship and SMILES are coming my way.

Oh what a beautiful noon time,

Oh what a beautiful time of the day.

So much kindness from so many friends and loved ones,

My heart is bursting with all that has come my way.

Oh what a beautiful afternoon

Oh what a beautiful day this is.

MY face is SMILING with an incandescent glow

Thank You all who have ignited its fire.

Oh what a beautiful evening

But the day is not yet gone

The sun in the sky is setting but in my heart it is still shining bright

Bright with the friendship of all I have been with today.

Oh now it is bed time

But sleep will be hard to achieve

I’ve had such a beautiful morning

I’ve had such a beautiful noon time

I ‘ve had such a beautiful afternoon

I’ve had such a beautiful evening

I’ve had such a wonderful day

THANK YOU

 

That nicely leads on to SMILE OF THE DAY:

Be strong enough to walk away from what isn’t best for you, and patient enough to wait for blessings you deserve.

Also yesterday I published my 16th e-book since 1st January 2021 IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE PLAY ON. That has taken my total words to 469,791.

My daily output may decline a bit over the next week or so as I concentrate on editing my quiz sheets into the book WHO NEEDS A PUB TO HAVE A QUIZ. Writing quiz sheets is fun but editing them is boring – big time !

My poetry output is rapid but I can not plan anything given the words come from my heart and not my head. Total number of works now stand at 38. Perhaps poems is an exaggeration. When I hit fifty I will publish DAVE’S POETY then start putting future works, the next fifty, into MORE RUBBISH FROM POET DAVE.

I do not want to rush through DESTINY’S SERVANT, I think this is going to be one of my better works so I will let it proceed at its own pace.

OK, enough of that.

Yesterday another sixty-five people died from china virus and four thousand, seven hundred and twelve more cases. Locally for me zero deaths and thirty new cases.

I have to repeat how sad I feel that the queen just does not see it within her duty to send messages of condolence to those who are grieving.

The median is full of the US TV interview Prince Harry and his wife gave. My sympathy is with the couple. It is not always what a person does but how that  person makes you feel, the royal family has hurt these two so much surely its members can not stand aside and pretend nothing happened.

ON THIS DAY:

9th March 1959: The Barbie Doll makes its first appearance. I can not say that I ever owned one.

9th March 1960: Doctor Belding Hibbard Scribner implants for the first time a shunt he invented into a patient which allowed the patient ton receive haemodialysis on a regular basis.

9th March 1961: Sputnik 9 successfully launches carrying a dog and a human dummy into space.

9th March 2011: Space Shuttle Discovery makes its final landing after thirty-nine flights.

 

Life is a Jaguar

so don’t drive it like a knackers old Ford Focus.

When bad days come

and life is indeed a Ford Focus,

knackered or otherwise.

Put the pedal to the metal and drive it like

a Ferrari Testarossa !

 

Speak again tomorrow

Dave

MORE LEGENDS

THERE ARE MORE LEGENDS PER SQUARE MILE IN MILTON KEYNES THAN CAN BE FOUND IN ANY OTHER TOWN< CITY OR VILLAGE IN BRITAIN   ·        Signs and roundabouts – Someone once joked that Milton Keynes was a place of signs and wonders. There were signs pointing everywhere and everyone wondered where they were actually pointing to.   Built on a unique grid road system the H roads are those which run Horizontally across the city, broadly West to East. The V roads run North and South up and down the plan. The H roads are all WAYS – Portway while the V roads are Streets – Fulmer Street and so on. Where each V road intersected with an H road there was a roundabout, at one time with a smile it was said that there were three hundred and sixty-five roundabouts, one for each day of the year. I think, somehow, that is just a legend with the tiniest possible grain of truth. Approaching a roundabout the first set of signs told the driver the local/immediate d...

Time to be positive

  DAY SIX:   Wednesday 6 th January 2021: On this scale how are you feeling right now about China Virus ? I’M OK WITH IT ALL – SCARED - FRIGHTENED – TERRIFIED – END OF THE WORLD IS COMING I am somewhere between scared and frightened. Did you see last night’s briefing ? Did you see how Prime Minister Boris Johnson waffled and burbled his way through the questions ? No need for a scale, simply do you trust the government to take us successfully through this china virus pandemic ?   The answer I am sure is a universal NO ! Would the likes of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have performed the way Boris Johnson is ? When they speak on TV I am usually happy and reassured by what the scientists say but last night I got the feeling they did not fully understand what they were saying and did not have complete confidence in themselves. I am seventy years old, still a teenager at heart but I no longer have the physical fitness I once had. If I need minor ...

Plant A Tree In MK3

Image
  An idea for a community project in 2020 In the very early 1970’s Britain lost many tress due to Dutch Elm Disease. The government came up with PLANT A TREE IN ’73 encouraging people to plant trees in their gardens. This catchy phrase and the thinking behind it were such a success it was followed by PLANT SOME MORE IN ’74. Although the government announced in January 1969 an area of land was to be designated for the building of a new city these were the early days in the actual construction of Milton Keynes and the government scheme was not part of the development. However, within the planning this was to be MILTON KEYNES THE CITY OF TREES. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s Milton Keynes Development Corporation gave every home a voucher for a tree to plant in the garden.   MILTON KEYNES THE CITY OF TREES. Within this there was an edict that NO BUILDING SHALL BE TALLER THAN THE SURROUNDING TREES. Sadly Milton Keynes Council has trashed that and   is currently amp...
