Hmm.... Do you really think a lifetime in a Thai prison is better than dead? I think I would prefer dead. 

I have just watched the film A Prayer Before Dawn. Maybe death is preferable.

This morning I was stuck on 

 

"Children of the Revolution".

 

In the end I gave up and Googled it.

 

T Rex and Marc Bolan from September 1972.

'Get It On.'  Marc Bolan sadly curtailed early.

Apparently he didn't go to the UK and  sends his apologise for not informing the AN brigade officially as to his change of plans. 

A ruse to avoid the press?

You need to get yourself a copy of the BBC Big Band Album.  I downloaded it on a lark and didn't listen for over a year.  When I finally did, I was floored.  I'm probably the only guy on the MRT humming along to the oldies. 

 

Timeless music from 25 years before I was born.

 

You're not. I'm humming along to them all the time. Sometimes a song gets stuck i my brain and I can't get rid of it. It was Jane Froman's, Blue Moon yesterday. Ten Years After's, Love Like A Man is gnawing at me today. Tomorrow, The Lambeth Walk,maybe, now I've mentioned it.😉

On what planet does a 11 year old get to refuse life saving treatment!. It's 2024 hiv needs treatment if he is to have a long lifespan. That is the bigger question nevermind the sex education 

So he will be allowed to go on and transfer his HIV to other unsuspecting people?

And what does Anutin say? "Don't blame me. It's all a misunderstanding. Those dirty falangs just stirred it up for me."😉

It's not dunny paper it's tissues in a roll instead of a box for all you clueless heathens.

I bet you still laugh at farts.🤪🤣🙃

 

Only at stupid old farts.😆

When I was a kid we didn't have tissue paper. We had lavatory paper. Cut up newspapers hanging on a string. Not much use on the dining table though.😉

I've messaged you.

Fortunately my son in the UK is 46 now, He is there and I am here.

 

My Thai son is 19 and at uni in Chiang Rai, so I am spared that. My wife doesn't seem to play any music, so I am free to indulge in the music I like.

 

I also like traditional jazz but not modern jazz.

I watch regularly Brendan Kavanagh the Dr of Boogie on Youtube. He plays a piano on London Railway stations. If he doesn't get your feet tapping, nothing will. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Froutenote.com%2Fblog%2Fbrendan-kavanagh-dr-k-teaching-boogie-woogie-piano-at-london-train-stations-

Like you though I am a mere 79. I prefer older music such as the big bands of the 30's, 40's and 50's.

 

Some of the 50's, 60's and 70's music when singers could still read and write their own songs.

 

Can you imagine saying to your children how you loved punk, grunge and garage music?

 

Well, I still like some punk and of course rock. I haven't a clue about most of the singers since the late 80s. The females now, thinking that all tit's and nakedness maked good music. But does anyone sing nowadays? My grandson gives me some rap just to wind me up. Bloody kids.😉

Been a bit too hot to do anything lately, I really do like to have something to do during the day as well as annoying folk on here....🤭

 

So, today's start, coffee, toast with marmite, sitting at my desk. Turn on the PC, read any emails, latest news and notifications here, when I finish laughing over that, it is down to business, no not that type of business, something to keep me occupied. 🤔

 

It's a difficult task most days finding something, but today, I was in luck, sorted a bike battery connection and now have on repair mode charge. Found a 4m length of 2x1.5mm2 cable and installed into my small hand drill, fitted a new plug, saves all that extension lead messing about in most cases.

 

Now back on here catching up whilst thinking about something else to do, looking out the French doors, it could be removing algae out of the pond, if we have a bit of cloud...

 

What about your today's start.......?

There's much you can do to improve mental acuity as we get older. The very first place I would start is by creating your own SuperFood that you can consume every day. Start with blue green spirulina and barley green, kelp powder, spinach powder, broccoli powder, and other such superfoods, many of them are available online, and are organic powder. Blend them all together with a little apple juice and voila your brain is functioning at a higher level within a month.

 

Do not expect your brain to continue to improve or even stay the same without feeding it. 

What's that again?😉
