It has to be tough on him to be looking for a job! I can understand that you don't want him to work for nothing but if it helps him while he's searching perhaps it will be a good thing! sam

CCT...
When I was in the hospital, I was quite often getting blood drawn by nurses (Techs?) from the lab...some were so gentle they were done without me even knowing it.
..others were like overgrown mosquitoes, not batting an eye as they did their dirty work.
..I still get my blood tested weekly in case the blood clots I had try to return...

Well I didn't know about the weight
s. I have had blood taken by some of the best but now the lab woman in my doctor's office is like a slaughter house worker. Every time I paint my toenails now I will remember this poem it is so cute.

Re: FS
Well it was one of the more favourable nicknames FS. Archie probably did not resent his as he was originally called Sparrow.

I wish you well as you figure out how to compensate Archie...How did the nickname Poggy come about?...As always the poem is a great read.

Re: Jimmy
Well basically Jimmy I moved here not to get in anyone's face . It is a quiet little spot the sun shines all day and it was quite deserted when I first arrived . Another keen gardener has started raking over a new plot . I don't talk a lot about gardening along now because it is so muddy, but I will consider doing so if there is a demand for that activity.
I do pay for three blogs and I found it was too much of a problem servicing them as a lot of time is taken up with answering comments as you know. I don't expect folk to read all that I post, but the choice is there. There are other reasons, but I can't think of a genteel answer, probably emotional .

Re: Re: Kabu.
Funnily enough a lost lost relation has arrived from Canada and said his Grampy owed my Grandfather 5 sovereigns. He asked if he could buy me a gift as a compensatory tribute. He insisted, so I chose a long wind break tunnel. I will post a picture when it is
erected.

Re: Wiley
Well Wiley there are a lot of Polish people doing jobs that the locals do not want to do. The layabeds offspring know all the tricks, but I don't know what will happen when the money runs out, too many pensioners who have worked will find they have to subsidize
the new layabeds .

Re: Sounds like life is chancy as ever, with or without a job.
I know Pat I shall have to use those heavy weights just to show him. Although I don't want muscles, just bigger veins.

I feel for both Archie and Arthur, for different reasons, and just incidentally I wonder how much time 'jobe seekers' actually spend seeking jobs, LOL...And your poems always have a neat surprise ending...

Sounds like life is chancy as ever, with or without a job.
Hilarious, ordering weights too heavy to pick up after the poor postman delivers...
