Good morning, day, afternoon evening, night, happy whatever etc. #6-New !

Good morning lovely people. 😊

I had to sign some forms yesterday, and I was stunned at how bad my handwriting has become. People used to compliment me on how neat my writing was, and in school as a kid, I won prizes for it. Oh well, my writing looks neat enough on the computer. 😊

I'm at a loss as to what to do today.... hang-gliding maybe... nah, I might bump into that flock of geese again and get multi-pecked.... well, tightrope walking is out of the question until they've finished working on the telephone wires. I know, a big pot of tea helps. 😊

Enjoy your day my friends, and don't forget to return my smile. 😊

Good morning Timoc, your post has resonated with me. My computer/internet/cell phone skills are all but, non existent but when I want to make a statement I hand write a letter. Be it to the newspaper, politician or local bigwig, out comes the parchment paper, the ink and the Osmiroid pen with it's broad nib attached, my spleen is then vented in handwriting, and has always got a response. In the case of newspapers it's been photocopied and reproduced, the others, as I said always respond. What is it that causes this reaction?

HC, you still have a steady hand and I'm pleased for you, well done. Sadly my hand is not steady and gripping a pen for me is very difficult now.
I hope that you will still be writing neatly to enable you to respond to the King when he sends you your 100th birthday greeting. 😊

One hundreth birthday, how that fills me with dread. When I was a small boy I feared death because in our religious class we were taught that only good people go to heaven. Being the archetypal naughty little schoolboy, my afterlife was down below. It didn't help when, after coming across the first book of Timothy in The New Testament, chapter two, verse four, it states that God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Bravely, I pointed out that God wants all to be saved. My reward for such insolence was a slap about the head with every syllable and there are a lot of syllables in: "You lit-tle hea-then, you think you can go to hea-ven be-cause you are worth sav-ing!"

Now, with much more of my life in the rear view mirror than there is ahead of me, the aches and pains of old age have numbed that fear of death. But there is one wicked thought though. I wonder if St. Peter gave that teacher a slap around the head with every syllable?

You must have had the same teacher as me, only with me, he used longer sentences, longer words with more syllables. 😊
