OUR OLD DOG.....
I took our Dog out yesterday
we-went walking down the lane
so instead of being by myself
she was at my side again
It'd been-a-while,since I saw her last
but she hadn't changed a bit
still pulling on the lead too much
and-ignoring calls to sit
But,we wandered in the Sun some time
'til we reached an open space
then,off-the-lead,just like before
I stood and watched her race
I called her back,we headed home
to fill her bowl with food
and to watch her gulp it down again
was-enough to lift the mood
I made some tea and rested
and she laid down at my feet
and we-warmed-ourselves by the open-fire
soaking up the heat
Today had been like old-times
when we'd walk out every day
and I'd throw a stick for her to fetch
when we stopped a while to play
But,then I woke,she wasn't there
just an empty House and me
it was just a dream,of our old Dog
who still lies beside the tree...

When I was at junior School,crossing the road,where we lived at least,was fairly simple and fairly safe as you could here a Car or Bus or Lorry coming along the road long before it ever got to you. That's how it has become now to some extent with the road where we are suddenly going from having thousands of vehicles pass by daily to falling eerily quiet such that,even though Cars are more silent than they used to be,you can now hear them approaching way before you see them. In this new found silence we can hear Bird-Song that used to be drowned out by the traffic noise,hear the Frogs in the Pond croak and splash,hear children playing in a garden several Houses away,hear a Lawn-Mower somewhere and Alright Now by Free playing on someone's Radio who knows where. Our local Town is empty of people,almost all shops and businesses are shut and every day seems like a Sunday. Most of us now have more time on our hands than ever before and most people aren't making any money at t...

Coronavirus...... Apparently some 'experts' initially predicted a million deaths in the UK but that figure has now been lowered with an expert Professor  updating that to some 20,000 and more recently to 5,700.Also he says that two thirds of those who die in the next few months,supposedly of Coronavirus,would have died anyway of something else. Further,it appears that if someone dies under the care of Medical professionals and if said person has Coronavirus at time of Death,then that is being listed as  the cause of death when it may or may not be the case. So time will tell eventually whether the restrictions imposed on people's lives and the economic impact that will go on far longer have been absolutely necessary or whether we've all been living through a real life episode of Spooks......
