Cakap cakap..sunday my day.

11.36 am Melbourne. Sunday 29th October 2023.

The very first line of that song"Its now or never" floods my head with so many memories of time past, each racing with the other to be first among all the other memories...all good... that the song evokes. And that voice...powerful and yet able to sing those wonderful songs with messages that tugs at our heartstrings. Are You Lonesome Tonight, Love Me Tender, No More....the lists never ends...Elvis was really the KING. You listen to them with friends, with your loved ones...and more satisfying, you listen to them alone lost in your own thoughts and dreams. Listening and singing along with Elvis the songs that has alway stayed in our heart.

This morning my early morning thought was of the war in the Middle East. If not in the past, now, or in the future, men will always find reasons to kill each other and inflict enormous pain and suffering upon innocent children. Collateral damage they say...and that excuse their cruelty upon those innocent lives. Why, if there is GOD, does he allow this? That is a question I do not want answered. Just think about that question and debate with yourself the right and wrong of it all.

Still trying to decide what I shall have for lunch. Probably fried rice. I cooked the rice last night and it is in the fridge so that the rice will be just right when I am ready to use it today at lunch. Fried rice with large prawns seems just about right.

Lunch...fried rice with prawns...more prawns than rice!

That is what is great about being alone - you decide what you do and you can change your mind any number of time you want. I miss my dear wife and the memories of our times together seems more than enough to keep me going through what is left of my life....our almost six decades of life together has left me with enough love and memories to last me my life time. I miss my wife.....
