We are having another heat wave so everything is going to have to stop for a day or so. I have decided to write a new self help book, the working title will be ‘No, just FO’. I think it’s quite catchy. I thought FOAD was a little too extreme 😂
This last weekend has been fun. Two very different gigs. One with the Invisible Folk Club Band at Thame Pride and One with the Sonic Boomers. Yesterday’s at the Hen and Chickens included a mighty compliment from a guy and an offer to form a band. Doubtful anything will come of it. Also Phil from the Invisibles and his Mrs came to watch our gig which was nice and he took a little video clip. The heat was just about bearable on both gigs.
I just fitted a solar powered security light over our street door as kids hang about there in the shadows doing stuff they shouldn’t: they can hang out somewhere else hopefully as there are plenty other more pleasant places to go here and abouts. Hopefully they will get the hint, but being kids I expect not. I don’t think much is going to be achieved this week as I am fairly dysfunctional in this heat. I have a new song idea to work on but I am too knackered to do it at present frankly. And I think a bitey thing just bit me too. Ouch.
Here’s a thought. If an act is done out of love is it still a sin if there is a book that says it is within? I am wondering. All you theologians, what say you… The hot weather makes my mind wander to all sorts of places. Oh my. Calm down, calm down. Our place is getting silly hot now so I can’t see much being done for the next 3 to 4 days or so really. So I shall just do stuff in the morning or very late evening. Creative stuff that is, not the sinning as there is not so much opportunity for that currently in my life, darlings’ 😂 It’s a weird enforced slowdown really which I just have to accept annoying as that is. The heat does make me very irritable though. Still a few days to go. A bit scary though. And I survived another night. It is so tiring though. A friend is just hunkered down with a book or too and watching television as a survival strategy which makes sense.

A little light verse for your amusement.
Friends with benefits
We are friends with benefits, you and I
In passing we can give each other a knowing smile,
Nobody else in the room has the faintest idea
But we are friends with benefits. you and I
Sometimes you laugh a little too loud, and brush past a little closer
Oh my, my. I giggle and make a silly joke. No one knows about
you, you funny old bloke.
You are not so fit as you used to be, the horizontal mambos
a little more effort you see, but take a little slower and
we will arrive on schedule and feel mighty fine
These days a bit wrinkly I have but I still feel the passion
Warm and hot no one knows our little secret.
Oh what we have got.I wont tell Jim, he mostly lives in his shed.
You won’t tell Ida she would get quite cross
From the impression I get she is the boss.
A quick drink before I go home,
O lord I forgot to put my knickers back on.
Jim wouldn’t notice he is too far gone.
Tuesday week then and I will say its rock choir practice
You will tell Ida its a five a side kick about
With a bit of luck you will get over the line and the net.
You aren’t out of practice yet.
We are friends with benefits, you and I
In passing we can give each other a knowing smile,
Nobody else in the room has the faintest idea
But we are friends with benefits. you and I
