I asked my son for a bit of an idea
I said, what would you write a poem about my dear? I got a reply although not one I expected my request for inspiration was thoroughly rejected For he said he would not write a poem at all a poem would be boring and with that the conversation did stall That's that then I thought to myself Mr T's love for poetry is truly on the shelf Thank goodness he can draw is all I can say we'll save poetry for another day He does possess a creative flair but he will do what he wants really and without a care At least he's honest and I love that about him he won't leave anything out there on a limb If he doesn't like something he will tell you so clear like he told me.....take ya poem mum and make it disappear ❋❋❋ Thank you for reading today.

A chiming clock is not what you need
though a time check every quarter of an hour is guaranteed Yes every fifteen minutes it will chime and the bloody thing isn't even mine I don't mind a reminder on the hour then I don't have to use my alarm to remind me to shower It is loud though late at night at midnight I look forward to twelve chimes, oh what a delight If it gets on my nerves, isn't it getting on their's? They have gone on holiday so from their point of view who cares? It is probably a new precious gift and when they hear it it probably gives them a lift It may be an heirloom or worth some doe I may suggest we take it to the Antiques Roadshow Well then it can be gone forever peace restored, that's so blooming clever 🕰🕰🕰 Thank you for reading today join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now.... Take care. xxx Does anyone else struggle with what to cook for tea?
I have to cook for two others as well as me Sometimes I make three different meals here c'mon Sue from the Brew get ya head into gear One has to be gluten free, one a veggie the other well he'll eat anything if it includes a potato wedgy Surely I can mix all these into one otherwise the time in the evening will have all gone I want to provide nutrition and something new but not make gravy that looks like glue There's only so many nights we can have pizza I need inspiration, a meal that looks neater I've tuned into Masterchef and taken notes from Jamie but get a bit lost, well can you blame me? My dinner never looks like theirs I even struggle poaching pears I am going to try and persevere but I get to 5pm and end up on my rear NO Sue get up and try your best The family need you and then you can rest 🍕🍕🍕 Thank you for reading today.

a friendship I didn't want to end I'll miss the messages we would send with encouraging words to hopefully help you on the mend We would meet and put the world to rights have a drink, laugh in the day and the odd nights We made plans to go out soon, drink a tipple or some tea but unfortunately that just wasn't meant to be I'm so glad you came into my life and we shared our interests, trouble and strife We talked about music and the bands we thought were good we talked about a lot of things and you always understood So I'm gonna take this loss, grief and pain and turn it into sunshine move away from the rain You always loved the warmth of the summer sun so that's how I'll remember your smile and our fun 💛💛💛 Happy National Poetry Day Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now take care xxx Follow your dreams, whatever they may be
don't do it if it doesn't make you happy Life is too short to waste time on nonsense and sit there doing nothing on that fence Find a dream and go with it if that's not the right one then find one that will fit Life is a puzzle to see what you can find but it's really ok to change your mind If you are not smiling or laughing at least once a day the day is wasted Charlie Chaplin would say We go through stages which get really tough but make sure you talk to someone to get through that stuff We are on this Earth for a certain amount of time so make that time count, make it sublime After all it is no one's life but your own if it seems a bit dull, change it, and on a different road you will roam 😃😃😃 Thank you for reading today.

to get back to the grind with a new routine It's a new start at college for some a whole new adventure has only just begun Folders, notebooks and pens have been bought text books on Amazon have also been sought Excitement mainly and nerves in there too a bus to catch is also something new All grown up my boys seem to be towering miles high above me I can't believe they once fitted in my womb wouldn't get in there now it's just a shrivelled den of doom I'm proud to see them as they go off on their way timetables in hand for another busy day A little more free and independence to gain getting ready for adulthood, life in the fast lane It may go slower, a more chilled life they may see a bit like their mum feels like when she's drinking her tea However it goes I'll help them on their quest and wish them love, luck and all the very best 💛💛💛 Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now.... Take care xxx I had to fill in a form yesterday
one to confirm who I was and I was okay I needed someone to countersign in case I was not believed I hadn't imagined just how much it would take to get this acheived There was a list that was a mile long of people in society who's position was strong Pillars of the community was all I could ask to help me along with my tiny little task Fire Fighters, Police Officers, Solicitors I needed as a chum well to know me for a couple of years was all that needed to be done My brain ached by the time I had read this list who could I possibly twist an arm to enlist? I would think of someone and then there would be a hitch I'd look again and that decision I would have to switch I've never thought of so many people all in one day all their jobs and the roles they play But I found my saviour and answer to my plight no I didn't have to ask a pilot on a Trans Atlantic flight I found a teacher, yes she was on my list and now I can go forward with confirmation that I exist 📜🖋📜 Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday for now though Take care xxx It was great to be back with the Highland folk
to say I needed a holiday was no joke So off we went up the big long road the car packed to the max with our massive load We had practised, rehearsed and packed so concise packed in like a ready to eat Balti with a small portion of rice Squashy I'd say it may have been for some but the passengers they could breathe....brilliant, job done We had to take a detour on the way there the scenic route but hey we were on hols why should we care I now know what The Long and Winding Road is that The Beatles sang about we got through safely though so we shouldn't really shout A Tesco man had left shopping at our pad a good idea eh? No shopping trip to be had We could just relax after our journey with a glass of wine Pizza straight in the oven and I was in bed by nine We toured the Scottish sights and of course had tea cakes too, well this is a holiday with me If you go away to somewhere with a fantastic view it's only right to combine it with a brew The weather was good and we had lots of fun laughter, giggles and a bit of shopping was done Family were hugged tight before leaving for home but first to Edinburgh we would roam I say thank you to the lovely people we saw I wish we could see you all a lot more I'm sure we will return for another venture that's new so get your kettles ready, I'll be needing that Highland brew!! 🏴🏴🏴 Thank you for reading today. Please join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now Take care xxx Why do we forget to take a look up above?
there's stuff up there you know me love We don't realise the beauty that is up there we just look at the floor where it's boring and bare Well ok some stuff is interesting below like fresh green grass or crisp white snow But the sun shines high up in the sky people in aeroplanes on their holidays they fly While inside there may be cracks you've not seen and dust on a shelf which has been missed by Mr Sheen Cobwebs in the corner with spiders ready to fall a leak from the ceiling - a plumber to call? I love looking up there is so much to see clouds are my favourite as well as stars that are set free The moon tonight shone so bright see, as well as the day it all happens at night So remember when you are looking low there is one thing you ought to know Great things are not just at eye level look up ABOVE go on be a devil ⭐️☀️🌛 Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now... Take care xxx Today the results were collected for GCSE's
all that pressure and everyone to please Some would fly through and feel ecstatic with what they got some would be ok and just satisfied with their lot The grade changed to a number from a letter not sure it makes anything easier or any better People asking 'well what does a nine bloomin mean?' an A in our day that was something to be seen However you scored you should be very proud and if it didn't go your way still shout out really loud There is always a plan or a solution for tomorrow no need to be sad, listen to advice and then follow Take em' again that's what I would say pick yourself up tomorrow's another day It's not the numbers and letters that define you but your happiness THAT is what will see you through ✔️✔️✔️ Well done everyone!!
