So if I wear Versace sunglasses with my Givenchy hoodie is that being a brand whore?

On a totally different subject...Do you remember when something was explained to you and all of a sudden ”the penny dropped” it was as though a window had opened up in your mind and you could, if only for a brief moment in time, see clearly. You were able to comprehend something new, wonderful, and exciting.
 
I remember that moment clearly and often wonder if I had the right opportunity at the time, also the means at my disposal, I would have made something out of it.
 
It was at one of the music classes in school, aged around ten or eleven, that I actually understood the meaning of notes and their value. It was almost like falling through the floor and in some kind of “Alice in Wonderland” moment, I’m not even sure if that’s the correct description but I was able to know what each note meant and it’s significance...it’s value and how to actually write music. Of course I forget it all now but at the time, for that brief moment in time, the window opened and I understood.
 
I feel if I had the ability at the time and also the opportunities that would have been my path...my direction. It was just a magical moment in time that is difficult to explain but I knew. I knew even then I could take it much further.
 
I remember going home in the afternoon and saying to Mum I was in music class today and really enjoyed it. It all made sense!
 
Sadly that window closed; as often windows do. Nothing happened...we knew no one ...never had any musical instruments piano or anything  but for a brief moment in time I had an opportunity. I only wish it could have continued...
 
At least I can be a brand whore and wear my Versace sunglasses with my Givenchy hoodie and pretend I’m Elton John and wonder what could have been 😏....

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think....

Peter and Malcolm...

                                                                       End of an era... Today it was something quite different. It was the scattering of a friends ashes, on an outgoing tide,  combined with the ashes of his partner Malcolm.  The two drifting out to sea together on yet another journey. Peter was an older man who, lets say, was at a complete loss when his partner of around sixty years died several years ago. They had spent a lifetime together since meeting in their twenties. They left New Zealand  in 1961 as young men on a lifetime adventure to England together by ship. It was a time when to be two males in a relationship was not understood, was not accepted, as it is mostly today.  Their life took on directions I'm certain would fill a book. Businesses, many beautiful homes t...

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess ...
