Temporary farewell

I think it was Shane MacGowan that declared that all you need is a bed, a bog and a drinks cabinet and who would I be to argue with Nenagh's finest poet?

It's a bit brighter today and we have a good view of Edinburgh.

I think Nenagh would disagree with you though.

Bob Dylan. - The Times They Are A-Changin


Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
And you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing…


Bob Dylan - Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)

Well, high tide’s risin’
Mama, don’t you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
Mama, don’t you make a sound
Well it’s king for king
Queen for queen
It’s gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody’s seen
Oh mama, ain’t you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you’re gonna have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow
 
Rather nervously, I ventured a look inside the remnants of my home this morning. We have progress; the carpets have been pulled up, the wallpaper stripped and the place is looking decidedly bare. It looks like a building site, which I suppose is what it is now. It's a bit of a strange feeling looking at the barren shell of your own home, but at least it means we're getting somewhere.

Even better, there was some Earl Grey tea lurking in a cupboard. Having liberated that, along with a Scrabble set and a couple of bottles of Hook Norton bitter, we left it at that.
