The future (6)

....specially for Rob.

I,m gonna do about another ten mins here.Then I,m gonna go to a few watering holes see who,s around to bore with the past Then I,ll go mhome,probs alone (again)go to bed,fart,shove my head under the covers etc.......

Tomorrow I,ll be scalding myself with tea.Then I gotta do all my washing and ironing,mop the floors,polish the piano,re-string the guitars,read the Telegraph (today,s) motoring section, business section, travel section. Then I,ll go clean the car,maybe go to the beach awhile.Get back an plan my working week,do some music practise,call my kids.....gawd what larks.

Samuel Becket said (sorry Rob,but this is past stuff,just flip right on past it)...." doing something and knowing that next time you can do it better, considerably better,and yet knowing that there is no next time,now there,s a thought to be going on with."

To the future

In 1984 I,ll have a Jaguar V12,5.3 litre,1976 model,so it,ll be 8 years old when I get it,but it,ll go like stink,pass anything except gas stations.Bright red it,ll be.Eventually I,ll have to sell it as I,ll have to change jobs and the gas bill will be more than I earn ! But for a short while at least I,ll be able to enjoy one of Coventry,s finest and a testament to Sir William Lyons ,who will design the car on a serviette in some greasy spoon caff. Sheer bliss.

One day at a time..

Wisely said.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
