THE SALLY GARDENS. (Martin Stewart sings W.B. Yeats)

A song from my schooldays.


Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.
In a field down by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she placed her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

Typical Man

Doctor?
Who needs a doctor?
We got the Innerwebs!
Diagnose oneself.
With the worst possible case/scenario.
Then IGNORE symptoms.
For many weeks.
Eventually visit Doctor.
"It's blah de blah de blah, take tabs, rub this in, rest".
What does HE know?!

Feeling better. :¬)

I Know!

To Absent Friends

Your lovely Geraldine said to me last night, "Another good one gone Martin, it's not fair!"

It's not. You were always one of the good guys, one of the few I looked up to when I was a wee lad who dreamed of one day having the cheek to get up on a stage! You, Seánie, Billy, Dazzler! The old crew, getting smaller. You were indeed a Gentle man, always with a smile, and a word of encouragement.
(Keep an eye on Seánie for me!)

Farewell Georgie. I have no idea why, but this is in my head all day.

JOAN OF ARC (Martin Stewart sings Leonard Cohen)

A song I have loved for quite a long time, but have never done,'til now.

Yesterday's Hike

It'll take a week for the mud to soak out of our clothes, but what fantastic fun for a Daddy and his youngest!
A bit too early in the year for most folks (we met only four others on the trail) but yesterday was perfect.
We're gradually working our way up to getting fit enough to climb Croagh Patrick again at the end of summer.
