Listening to BBC Radio Wiltshire, this Armistice Day.

The news was of reminiscing of the Great War .  I often think what it really meant.  One or two photos fr the war spring to mind. The picture a severed, rotting hand, caught on the barbed wire., The photo of gas attacked Tommies, blinded and having to steer away from water filled shell holes. Having to manoeuvre the duckboards, hands on shoulders of only one seeing person.

It was described as the war to end all wars.  Perhaps, someone should’ve told Mr Putin.  Though no one is omniscientt, that is exempt God?

If I appeared to leer, at university and later in life.

I suffered extreme head pain in early 90’s. Army biscuits left from Grantby days. Malnutrition, too.

Mid 90’s to 2011 time. I’d damaged my spine. Unsure how. Upper spine thoracic. Plus, lumbar regions. Physio helped. But, it does return.. Head pain gets bad still.

I am actually, extremely shy.. if I seem a maniac, it’s not with purpose. Though I’d be safer not saying.

Dave T.,

Tomorrow.

Today may be upsetting. But tomorrow could be better. I’ve a drained feeling about me. Slight aches and pains, especially in chest. That’ll teach me, smoking up to 100 a day up to a decade ago.

Even a relaxing snooze could be good. My diet is a bit out of usual. Baked chips, UK style. Beans, baked or even green beans. Strange? Some plain bread too. I like my vegetables, just can’t peel them.

If you know my history. Don’t blame me or my family. The dynamics of life sometimes go wrong. We just argued a lot.

I got a professional upgrade. I can’t say more. But, I’m very proud..I think we should be thinking of Christmas No gifts, I always open mine early. But, don’t tell Santa. He might be upset?

It’s not been bad through October, where I am. Pretty mild. I slept through most of it though.

My 20’s &30’s were harsh. But, I survived. When I qualified as a reservist and got a decent A level profile, it was greatest few weeks of my life. So proud, I could’ve exploded. Even had a few hundred pounds cash. Military is easier than some of my hobbies. But, I never thought they’d accept me.

HM the Queen, and the media.

This will probably offend people unnecessarily.. but the radio, though highly respectful in it’s mourning. I feel it too subdued. The music seems bland to my ears. I mean BBC Radio 2. I don’t know whether HM or family added input. I apologise if so. There is little that appeals to me. I know, there would be little room for anything light hearted.. but, some old style rock and roll the Queen must have liked some. Sorry if I offend.
