It has been a mixed day of events that
started with the very sad news that Mr M had slipped into a coma in the night,
although we have been assured that he is not in any pain. He is still hanging
in there but sadly it is a case of insuring he is not suffering and can maintain
his dignity.
Anyway we also had visitors for lunch in
the form of Mr Ian the Musical Hat Maker, Auntie Karen, Mr Charlie and Miss
Jane, it has been a long time since we have seen them and it was good to return
to some normality for a few hours. Mr Ian the Musical Hat Maker is a man full
of interesting tales from his past in the music industry as a rather modest and
always friendly rock star, both as a solo artist and writer, and as a member of
Brinsley Schwarz. And he told us all about folk like Paul McCartney and what he
got up to when they were on the same tour in the USA, and of the time he found
himself standing right in the middle of a police stand off in Nashville by
accident when an armed gang were robbing a book shop. I wonder if the police got to read them their
rights HA HAHAH HAH AH HAH HAha hah ha hah hah ah hah ahha ha hah ha ha
ha.
Mr Charlie and myself went
out and peered at a strimmer for a while and removed bits and nodded in a
knowing way and pointed at things before we returned to eat loads of good food
and continue to chat of many things including the advantages and disadvantages
of using two fire guards.
Then after they all
ventured home, we headed off to see Mr M and chat to him, it is always
important to chat to folk even if they are in a coma because almost the last
thing to stop working in the human body is hearing, so even if folk cant
respond by say poking you with a pointy stick, they will know what you
said. We then returned home and ate more
food and moved a fire guard a bit.
I hope this continues to
make sense as it is getting late and I am getting tired ………..
I may or may not have a few relatives in the Nashville area.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of your friend Mr M.
I think Ian still has a lot of friends in Nashville.
DeleteWe are doing as much as we can for Mr M he was quite a talented chap.
Why would an armed gang rob a book store? Still, at least they've got the spine for it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI was planning to ask Ian why they were robbing a book store, but Ian was in full flow with a series of interesting tales and I forgot to ask. I suspect he does not know as the gang did a run for it out of the back of the shop much to the relief of Ian, as all the police had guns pointing at the doorway just about where he found himself standing.
DeleteSorry to hear about Mr M, but like you said it means he isn't in any pain, and that's good.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Miss Laura, It is sad but had he died up in his old rambling house alone and cold it would have been very sad, he has at least got to see most of his old friends now and I think is more at peace.
