How's your day?

Well done, Ben, it will take a bit of practice, but eventually will become second nature to you.   Just shows you can teach an old dog new tricks.   Lol. (Not that you're old!  You can't be as you're younger than me..)

Lol, Margie.. You might teach Ben some new tricks but there's only one old dog on here as far as Iknow.

I’d come to visit you Ben but I only know my way to Costco.  They do good coffee there, can you get a pass-out?

I remember the flip side of that single too, Ben.

 

'I Feel My World Caving in'.   sad song.

 

The car's not in its place out back

a suitcase missing from the rack

A note that says you won't be back

I feel my world caving in

 

My heart is breaking with the dawn

I should have left her alone and come on home..........

 

A lot of those old country songs were pretty sad.  Funny how you remember them.  I didn't even have to Google it.  Well on the way to sixty years ago.

 Now where did I put my laptop?   :biggrin:

Cracking day out in Worksop, really good market on, over a hundred stalls, very friendly  Notts folk, had some laughs with some of the natives, as Ben says "plenty of eyup meducks and how do youth", sad to see a lot of the old fellas in wheelchairs or stuck in them mobility scooter thing with oxygen bottles strapped to the backs, all ex pit lads,done their bit now forgotten, still they have a sense of humour bless em, a couple of pics of the day

I was thinking about all those sad songs I was on about last night.. Was it just a young lad thing?

 

Roy Orbison did quite a few.. Skeeter Davis,  ' End of the World'. Don Williams. 'Sea of Heartbreak.'. A lot of the Everly brothers stuff.. Floyd Cramer,  'Last Date'. I know at sixteen I was afraid I would be left on  the shelf.. What nice girl would want me was my thinking?. Was it just me or were we all like that?

 

Whadya think, Ben.. you're the expert.. :)

You have a point, Jill.. Left on the shelf was a common expression in my young days. I don't think anybody meant it to be offensive.. it was just a reference to someone, male or female,  who would like to have married, but never found the right one.. It ignores th fact that some might choose not to marry.
