A Grumpy Old.........!
Today I feel like a real grumpy old 'f*rt....
I see and hear all this stuff on the television about the San Remo Song Festival, then on top of that there's all this 'hoo - ha' building up about the forthcoming Oscar ceremony... so why aren't I excited? Why does it all bore me to tears? It never used to. I used to love Canzonissima and the San Remo and Neapolitan song Festivals. Perhaps it's because I don't know any of the 'participants' (I'm not going to say 'singers' - 'cos some are, some aren't). See what I mean? One short paragraph and I'm sure you've got the ghist of just how I'm feeling. Yet this isn't ME - No way!!!
So why now? Perhaps because Spring is just round the corner, but not quite here yet. Perhaps because I'm finding it harder than I thought to finally accept that lot's of things I want to do - I can't any more! Despite giving many things 'a go' - I have to surrender and that makes me first of all frustrated - but then, even worse - makes me so bl**dy mad at my total inability to do some really stupid everyday things!!!
And yet when I think about it - what the hell have I got to moan about? There are so many who are a damned sight worse off than me.....
So I'm 'off' song festivals, and 'off' film awards ceremonies. So what? I don't like them - don't watch them. At least I've got a television and the choice of switching it on or not as I choose. Now if I didn't have that choice, then perhaps I might 'just' have the right to complain about such trivial thoughts.
I've got my health (well sort of), I've got friends all over the world, I've got a loving son - who 'cares' about his Mum. I've got a little 'mutt' who thinks he's found 'America' here with me and who loves me almost to death. I have fond and loving memories of those no longer here with me so I suppose I have many things for which I should be grateful haven't I?
'Cos when you get right down to it - there are only 'two things prime'...... That I have a peaceful life among caring people - and I am able to afford and do (almost) everything I want!
And those two things I have got!

It seems like we're all getting into a bit of a rut lately. Still, as spring weather starts to become more persistent, I think it'll get better. Sunshine always has a way of cheering up a day!
You're right Lori.... despite the threat of snow, the sun has been shining nearly all day up here, the snow in my drive has nearly all gone too. The family visited yesterday and altogether there's a definite feel of Spring in the air!
It is frigid, but it is spring frigid, not winter frigid here. How do I know? I am dusting pollen off the tables and having allergic attacks!
Here's to spring, whatever it brings!
