28feb19_Woods

The sun shines down, heats the ground

I go to a site and just wander around

I’m not at all interested in the issues here

It’s so peaceful I very nearly shed a tear

I may stay on site once I finished the meeting

I regret that the feeling I have is just so fleeting

I wander some more but don’t want to lurk

So I have to leave and drive back to work

I’m sad to leave the lovely forest site behind

But it’s left me in a better frame of mind

27feb19_nowt

It’s a normal day here in the lodge

Loads of work no chance to dodge

Nothing much happening though

I just have to go with the flow

The clock on wall ticks away time

I pass it by making words rhyme

**Eventually at last home time arrives **

I’m off home top speed in my five

25feb19_Angry

Angry man called He is a massive victim I went to meet him fuming on arrival I try to calm him down But we’re soon swearing quickly an hours gone We’re placid and chatting now Hands shaken I leave don’t want to return He’s far too angry and mad Makes me nowt but sad

24feb19_Beannie

Today at the beach we saw a tiny dog all black She came over maybe thought we had a snack She was a small version of Izzy no white in sight Nicky had a little cuddle you could see her delight She is called beanie it’s her first time on the sand Eventually we let her go we have a picnic planned After sandwiches and juice we head back to the car Sun and a puppy made the best day this year by far

23feb19_Lambs

Canaries playing at home this afternoon James goes on his own so that’s a boon It means we can have a day with the kids We’re off to a farm to see sheep and some pigs Stow Bardolph is where we went years ago It’s bigger now so the kids we just want to show We left early and got there just in time To see brand new triplets all doing fine Mum’s tending to them with plenty of loving But with only two teats there’s a lot of shoving One will be have to be taken away for feeds The special care unit is for all of the breeds Later in the day the kids on hay bales stand Ready to feed the little orphan lambs by hand The man said they had to hold the bottle tight As the lambs guzzle the milk with all their might We had a picnic in the garden under the sun Then the kids climbed, slid and had loads of fun There were cute piglets in a pen with their Mum If you scratched their belly with joy they’d hum A funny little chicken was madly running around From the hut where she came a new egg we found There was a goat that wouldn’t leave Steve alone So probably a good idea to leave and go home

22feb19_Den

A busy day and not many others in All very quiet nobody making a din Out for a late lunch with ma and pa Down to lakeside it’s not very far Left at five but car started to smell Finally got home brakes hot as hell Grandkids here for tea so it’ll wait I eat up quickly I’ve a tent to create We built a massive blanketed den They knock it down I build it up again This goes on for at least an hour Cody pretends he has a superpower Lexi gets really tired and cuddles Nicky By now we’re all getting hot and sticky I clean their teeth and drive them home I can finally relax in a bath full of foam

21feb19_Neighbours

Thursday Thursday O Thursday What a really shit day you were It may be harsh to start that way But from my tale it will not deter  

You started nice and sunny enough To have the hood down on the way But an email from a man in a huff Started the ruination of the day   I went out to see what caused the fuss And met a man operating a truck He stopped his work got out to discuss By the huge other issues I was soon struck   His neighbour and he were deep in combat Over some land, some trees and a new house Now at a point so bad they can’t even chat So personal it now involves each ones spouse   They wind each other up all the time One cuts downs trees, digs and won’t acquiesce Each accusing the other of a dreadful crime The other films it all causing much distress   They are both liars and far from angelic I’m so sick of dealing with their blether My anger towards them is becoming systemic What they need is heads banging together   They’ll never get on now it’s gone too far The hate and bad feeling is too ingrained How it’s gone this far is quite bizarre They’re both empty shells now well drained

20Feb19_Crack Went to the Waterfront just for the Crack The Ruts are playing it from 40 years back It is a classic album I owned at school The raw punk and ska was pretty cool Never got to see them when I was young Jumped at the chance when this was sprung Up on stage the sound was fast and full They smashed the album with absolutely no bull What a brilliant set delivered by Ruts DC Without doubt something you need to see

19feb19_Owls The garden centre had something on we heard So went this morning and we saw owls and birds Lexi’s favorite was the smallest you can’t dispute A white faced owl called bumble it’s so so cute Cody couldn’t pick and he said he liked them all But he giggled when the owl off his post did fall Nick and Fern liked the kookaburra and the way it laughed I tried to make the right sound but it made me sound daft I really liked the big red tail hawk on the end of the line calm but powerful and could easily escape if so inclined We also had coffee and cake in the cafe of course Even the kids love a treat so no need to force They ran it all off up and down the ladder to the slide Lexi was nervous to start with but soon took it in her stride Apparently we’re all done, tired and so left for home It was lovely but I didn’t get the sleeping gnome

18feb19_Off At last a Monday off, I need to do some stuff Cut my hair, apparently I’m a bit of a scruff The Jazz needs a wash and an oil change I’ve been left alone, so not hard to arrange Nicky took Lexi, Cody and Ferny to town She had a haircut, they’ll be back by sundown Plenty of time, by two all my jobs completed So I had lunch, binged on TV comfortably seated Later I went to get Zak from being a teacher trainee Elise and him coming over for a chat and some tea We ate, we chatted and checked they are fine Before I took them back home to the city at nine

17feb19_Stones Again to the beach we went with Izzy It’s a nice break after being so busy We just wander up and down the shore Have a chat throw stones nothing more We did have some crafty chips though We’re not millennials so no fuckin photo On the road on the way back home We stopped for coffee Izzy loves the foam At home we just relaxed and watched the box It is a Sunday so it’s not that unorthodox

16feb19_Zoom Oil change on the sports car This year I’ve driven it quite far Had a right laugh zooming around In the summer it sticks to the ground In winter it does tend to slide Looks like I’m out on a joyride The dogs and kids all love a drive But Mrs Kenny’s not so keen to ride Only with the roof up mind you Don’t want to spoil her hair do I still need to finish some jobs Wheels brakes and rusty blobs Should be ready for the sun We shall all have loads of fun

15feb19_Range We went to the Range on my day off A quick trip, an hour would be enough But there’s a big queue on the way in And that’s just where the delay begins There’s been an accident up the way The police on the roundabout just won’t say After 3 hours to the cafe, our time to bide The traffic’s not moving at all outside After 5 it’s off to McDonald’s for tea Finally after 6 it appears we’re free Shit the accident was really bad Our hearts go out, it’s really too sad

14feb19_Love Oh it’s Valentine’s Day all day I remembered to send a card hooray We don’t buy presents we just send a card We have everything so pressie choosing is hard Nothing special planned, we don’t need that Went for a drive, a coffee, chocolate and a chat She really is my love, my life, my best friend She is beautiful, kind and on her I depend So it’s Valentine’s Day fine But I love this much all the time

13feb19_Jane A young lady I know is one year older today She won’t make a fuss she’ll try to downplay For her birthday I was to get her a horse I would also need to sort a paddock of course But we all said there’d be no presents this year She’s ok but on my birthday I’ll shed a tear We didn’t even think to get her a balloon But she’s flying off to New Zealand soon I do hope this stupid poem causes no pain And that you had a splendid birthday Jane

12feb19_Boss Had a meeting today with the new boss To be perfectly honest it was a bit toss He stood at the front made some noise Trying hard to appear as one of the boys We had some stupid cards red and green Expecting us to engage wants us to be keen He talked and talked about the collaboration I listened and listened with growing vexation Whatever, it’ll soon be a single council no doubt Broad Norfolk only want officers who are devout After an hour I wanted to escape the humming But the daft questions kept coming and coming All this stuff is making me sick I have to find a new job and quick
