And build new friendships

Poem 491 – Easter on Tape
Sifting through old tapes
Memories resurrected
Fitting for today
After a packed morning service this morning, I’ve enjoyed a day with family, so only a short one today.

As the deadline approaches,
Demands attention.
Talks and events are coming thick and fast!

Friday evening’s here.
I’ve written, talked and shunted
all day long. I’m done.
A quick poem at the end of a busy day.

Two men and a van
Bish, bash, bosh, hurrah, job done!
Put the kettle on!
Today’s removal men for our daughter were fantastic! If only the flat pack furniture was as straightforward…
