The year ahead like a great shoe with its lights on!

EVER PRESENT PAST
(Or the past sure is tense)

The beginning of the year is a little blurred having no memory for the past and no plan for the future the existence in the now was the reasoning behind keeping a diary in the first place. So when my diary was stolen from my car it meant I lost January and February.

All I can say is that 3 of our lot were away at Uni while the other was snug in Sale. If anything extraordinary happened it’s now gone into the mists of time. I do recall that we decided to do an entire re run of the Sopranos ending with the final 6 episodes that we downloaded 24 hours after the episode was shown in America thus completing the greatest ever TV show.

March

On the 1st day of which Burger and Sarah returned from their six month foreign adventure. We had them around for a curry appropriately Sarah wore her Sari and we saw their photo history of the trip.

I had a night out at Mojo’s for the cockneys birthdays and Su and I spent a Sunday visiting Gaskell’s house and eating at the main Jewish restaurant of Manchester JS. Liverpool progressed in the European cup by beating Barcelona. We sent Becca and Jonny off for a weekend in London, Jonnies 1st time in our capital City. Their Xmas present was Spamalot.

Then the Cricket world cup started.

W.B Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyreThe falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming!
Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert.
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleepwere vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
