New Years Eve travel

23:43 Dec 31 2006
Times Read: 1,062


..So, News Years Eve I'm standing on Bromborough station on the way to travel to Birkenhead and my friend Karls, looking at the young lady and her bike, to my right.

..And, it occured to me that maybe I couldn't talk to anyone, anywhere, if I choose, so I chose to.

..The young lady was Indian, or Pakistani and obviously quite timorous, especially with the strange man talking to her.

..We had talked awhile: and as we both got off at Birkenhead Central, I'd carried her bike for her,after introducing myself by name.

.."Mine is Jehan," I'd been told.

..And nice as she was, what had struck me was the ammount of times she apologized, for a minor grammatical abherration made in my language.

..Like I can speak hers!

..She's apologizing time and again and all I'd wanted to do, was scream, 'stop it, you've learnt to do what many English never try.. you've learnt another language- the one I use.'

..But, I hadn't, I'd just smiled and said something quite inane instead.

..But, we'd got

The Atmosphere at The Pen & Wig ~ May 2004

13:01 Dec 31 2006
Times Read: 1,069


Not a poem, or a story; more of a narrative about a moment of Now.







I’m no wordsmith.

But, after the other night

I had to write ~

to try and describe

what I saw and felt.



‘Coz a moment of now

like that,

doesn’t last very long.



And, it had started with a friend

and a suggestion.

But, I was nervous, apprehensive.

Just plain scared.



Yet, I’d been told it was ‘safe.’

So hesitantly, I’d approached the door ~

and the two big men, standing there.



Then, I’d passed between them.

And as I went to go toward the stairs, going down,

one of them said,

“You pay at the bar.”



It was dark inside,

Yet I easily found the bar ~

where I’d paid for my entrance,

then got a whiskey;

and found a quiet corner to sit.



Now holding my bar dollar

which paid for my first dance,

I was nervous, apprehensive.

Just plain scared.



Then, with a warm, wide smile

and dark searching eyes,

a dream of a girl approached me;

then in a light, pleasant voice asked,

“Do you want a dance?”









Black silken hair frames the pretty

face, of a young woman

of the Asian race.

And I go shy ~ but, nod, ‘yes.’



I am nervous, apprehensive.

But, I can’t help but stare ~ she

looks lovely, and ~ I can’t help

but stare.



A red and black pleated skirt

clings to her hips,

It’s hem ending mid-thigh.



And she wears boots, of what seem

to be soft leather,

with zips at the side

and a sensible heel.



Beneath the calf-hugging boots

she wears black, knee-length socks.

The expanse of leg exposed is toned,

A natural golden colour;

and most attractive to the eye.



A white blouse,

knotted at the waist

and a school-tie loosely

tied; exposing, the flesh

of her belly ~ and,

the cutest,

inward-sloping, navel.



“I’m Neil,” I say,

taking her right hand gently in mine;

and I kiss her fingertips,

gazing at her knees

and the toes of her boots.



So we sat and talk

and I slowly relax,

with May,

as I learn she is called.





And, as we talk, I stare,

I can’t help it ~ for with

dark eyes and hair

and a beautiful smile, May

has a beautiful face.

And, I’m just, transfixed.



Finally she stands,

Saying to me, “I dance now?”

Still a little nervous, I go shy ~

but, nod, ‘yes.’



And I watch May push

the house dollar

into a black pouch,

pull its drawstring tight,

then turn to me.



She indicates

I move where I sit,

so I do as she bids

and sit where I’m told

my heart beating

ever-so-fast, as May

begins to move,

to the music.



And I feel breathless,

as I gaze, I stare

and squirm where I sit

and I’m told to ‘relax’ as she

begins to dance to the

beat of the music.



And May teases, to the music;

her every expression

and move, pleasing me.



Then eyes cast downward,

and slowly lifted back to mine,

she undoes the blouse

buttons, one-by-one.



Then finally, the knot undone,

she drapes the blouse over my right knee,

then steps forward to continue her tease.

She casts her hair over her shoulder,

then looks back,

to see me,

watching her,

and her

every movement.



Her back to me,

buttocks just over my crotch

and my arousal;

May looks over right shoulder,

at me,

as she gently caresses each breast,

the nipples erect.



As May teases,

to the music;

her every expression

and move, pleases

me…



And, she cups her left breast,

the darker flesh of her left nipple,

to me; the one with the small cute

scar, that I like…



It’s an enticement offered,

then denied:

as May turns once more,

and teases, to the music,

a wide smile on her face.



Then, with her back to me,

May pulls her skirt up,

to reveal a little wisp of white cotton in between her taut,

proud cheeks.



I lick my lips, as

May swings her hips,

toying with the waist of her skirt.



And soon the red and black

pleated skirt, no longer clings

to her hips,

it’s hem ending mid-thigh.



It is gone the way of the shirt,

to lie on the floor, where

she drops it.



And now she dances

and prances before me

in just boots, of what seem

to be soft leather,

with zips at the side

and a sensible heel.



As she bends forward,

she runs her left middle finger

between her legs,

I look to my left

and May reflected in the

wall mirrors.



And, her eyes

alight with mischief,

May seems to delight

in my obvious pleasure and

apparent discomfort;

as I stare, at her eyes

and the pert shape of her derrière,

as May continues to dance

to the beat of the music.



I watch May turn, naked,

except for her panties ~

my attention held by the rise

and fall of her pert buttocks,

as she moves to the music.



In front of where I sit,

May arches her back,

Rocking her hips

back and forth~ her bottom

almost grazing my crotch.



And I feel breathless,

as I gaze, I stare

and squirm where I sit.



May looks great, as she

starts to gyrate, her backside,

just before my eyes.



Then, she turns, once more,

to wriggle her hips before me,

the crotch of her white,

embroidered, cotton panties,

drawn tight around her shapely

mound ~ as if, to emphasise

perfection, in my eyes.



And, still moving, May gyrates

her hips, watching me stare,

as she slides the panties,

slowly down her shapely thighs.



I look to the mirror, then back

to May ~ for at this moment,

right now, she is all there is.



And ~ she dances to the beat

of the music ~ until, too soon

it begins to fade.



Then, she kisses my cheek

and says, “thank you,”

before dressing.



“Thank me,” I paraphrase, quite

breathless;

“Oh no, thank you,” I added,

kissing her fingertips.



Demure and delightful,

it was good to be with May.

It was “safe,”

being near her;

and it’d felt good.



Then finally, I’ve spent what

I’d set aside, after two more

dances.

‘And as a moment of now,

it’s ones that I want to recall,’

I’d thought on the way home,

with a grin.



And, now, I figure,

‘It was worth it, just to write this.’

A strip - act, at Daley's Dandelion, Liverpool, 1996

12:57 Dec 31 2006
Times Read: 1,070


Not a poem, or a story, but a moment of Now.







It is 3:20 and the bar is filling with solitary men,

all ready to gaze...

upon the girls, three in all; who will strip and tease,

for their allotted slot, (fifteen minutes, or so;)

on the railed off dais…

and now my bitter costs an extra twenty six pence.



The music is now louder and there is an impatient atmosphere, as men take the best spec, so as to enjoy the show...



Now, it is just a few minutes to go...

and what was an empty bar, is filling still: as places are taken by men, in working attire, casual dress and the occasional suit.



Where I sit, at a table to the right of the dias,

I look through the rails and across the stage - to the heavies now standing by the door, ready to restore order, (it seems,)

if any man takes liberties... with the girls.

It is now past show-time - and anxious faces look around...

all of them waiting - with five minutes to go...

and what was an empty bar, is filling still, as places are taken by men, in working attire, casual dress and the occasional suit.



It is now past show-time and anxious faces look around...

all of them waiting, (with evident anticipation) for the girls.

And men gather at the wooden rail, round the small, slightly raised stage,

as if aware, that soon ... very soon, their patience will be rewarded:

and another cigarette is lit, as my pulse quickens and I know that I am now part of the expectant crowd, all waiting.



"We dream the same dream, we want the same thing..."

is played whilst during this intermission -

and somehow the song seems very appropriate...



The lights suddenly dim throughout - except for the bar

and the spotlights that point toward centre-stage -



And the first girl comes on, dressed as a cowgirl, in chaps, waistcoat, boots and a hat ... Strutting across the stage, cracking her whip.



She wears cut-down jeans, worn as shorts, pulled tight to the crotch...

and she strips to the beat and ... she squirts Gillette onto her hands...

blue eyes surveying - the faces of the men as they leer...



The blonde smacks at her pert breasts and against her ass...

and a John Major look-alike, all in grey, stares wide-eyed, shaving-foam dripping down his beer glass; and all before her are enthralled as the cowgirl stimulates the crowd - as she simulates sex with the whip butt...



And she leans forward now, her glistening folds dripping with oil, liberally applied... with a finger teasing at the entrance... and she smiles,

for her part in this now of the crowd, has just ended.



There is silence, (then,) there is applause, as the spotlight becomes dim -

and... the blonde can be seen, collecting her fallen clothes.



And once more we wait...

So, I visit the toilet 'coz the beer is going through me:

and I read the scrawl on the wall...

before taking my seat once more.



And we wait in the darkness, till music blares... the next girl,

again a blonde, stands before us on the stage, dressed as a schoolgirl,

her hair worn in braids, that loosen and fall as she dances and prances... across the small railed off stage.



She is wearing a uniform that she will not have been in, for about ten years, or so, white blouse, shoes and socks and a grey-pleated skirt,

with shapely-legs stocking-clad... she disrobes very slowly...

playing the baying animals in front of her with an air of mockery...

and they love it.



Licking her lips the girl pushes forward her hips and toward

a little man's thick pebble glasses... and the crowd applaud him,

much to his delight and embarrassment.



Then the blonde busty Barbie-doll... bumps and grinds her way...

to the rail opposite; turns her back to a man in a rugby shirt and… bending over…

thrusts her backside toward the man and… laughing,

she finally drops her skirt;

then returns to the middle of the stage and continues to strip...

away her remaining clothes.



Now the blonde sits on a chair, it's back facing front,

her legs spread either side - as a man, stands in the middle of the crowd, between the two rails and before the steps to the dias:

he is large and bulky, with little round glasses and is wearing a light tan mac, his hands are deep in the pockets.



He has thick pursed lips and as the act proceeds… the man impersonates a goldfish... drawing in his breath - and - saying the word 'more'...



As the girl - young woman I should say...

begins to move, her actions are old, indeed practised... and…

She is confident, in her control of the men, looking up at her...

and the ribbons are not tight any more and her braids hang loose ...

as she takes out from her rolled up towel ... Johnson's cream milk

and her head back, in mock ecstasy, she takes some into her mouth ...

dripping it slowly, down the mounds of her young breasts.





She looks down, at the rail...

then smiling, she watches her audience

and repeats this part of her act... again and again.



Then the blonde moves to the front and poses naked... for the fish ...

and as the man in the mac draws breath, to show his affection,

she laughs and turns, to resume her strip... and continue to tease.



She looks at the audience before her, sparkling eyes wide,

with white lotion trickling from the corners of her mouth...

before standing and bowing, her act finished...

And – the lights dim once more.



With my coat and case, I reserve my place, as I seek the bar and a beer,

before finding my seat ... and I light a smoke, sharing a joke...

with my neighbour, who has also finished work early, so as to be here.



The last of the three takes to the stage - and - this redhead is older,

than the other two girls, both puppy fat

and eager to play the mechanics of the strip ...



Though she is the eldest by far...

she stalks from one half of the stage to the other…

with an arrogant swagger:

an American police woman, in her blue shirt, grey skirt and peak cap; wielding her night staff as if it is a club...



She looks at the audience sternly...

from beneath the brim of the cap – as she walks,

stepping high in her heels, as she looks at the men,

as if they are the prey, that she stalks ...







As she undoes her shirt buttons one by one - parading the stage,

flaunting her legs, her body, her smile ...

each button is undone with measured ease, every movement guaranteed,

to emphasise the tease...



She removes the cap with a flourish and her long, lustrous, red hair cascades loose and she shakes it... as she whirls in a circle, twisting her hips.



The tie is removed and finally the skirt and long legged and toned,

the redhead moves to the music in white bra and panties,

suspender-belt and fine black hose.



On all fours now, she prowls feline,

then lowers herself, she pumps with her hips...

and makes love to the stage, eyes like slits, (in apparent pleasure,)

as she observes the eye’s... of the men watching her ...







As she undoes her bra, directly looking at a man, clasp held tight ...

she turns to another, cupping her breasts in her hands,

as the bra hits the floor... the redhead stands centre stage,

to lift her arms and display her charms.



And standing, she struts over to one man, middle-aged,

laughing with his pal next to him ... and she turns her back to him and her firm cheeks to the edge of the rail…

peeling off her knickers slowly, halting and looking around,

at the crowd of ogling men, all intent on her every move...



And when she does slip them from her long legs.

he looks down to his pint, blushing...

and a man shouts, from near to me, 'Hey we're missing out!'



So with an intricate turn of her hips and a few steps,

to where we sit 'neath the rail...

the redhead bends again, to pose as before, showing her slit peach and brown rose… looking at us, from upside down… and she winks...



Then her breasts gently sway, as she stalks the stage floor...

and then, then redhead lies on her back... running her hands over herself, teasing us ... with this display.









And she turns and sits, facing the group of men by one rail,

twisting and turning her legs, to sit again... legs wide…

facing the other side… then does the same again,

to face the crew by the steps to the stage,

so every man has the chance to view her, all of her...



And she takes to the middle of the stage once more... and kneels,

wearing only high heels and a smile, running her hands over the swell of her breasts...

as she hardens the nipples... with her fingertips...

And then, as she runs one hand over her belly - and picks up a bottle of Boots Baby Oil with the other.



She eyes her body, as the oil drips down ... and looks up, just once or twice, running oil-clad hands over her flesh ...

till finally she sits cross-legged, with one hand gently resting on her bush... her eyes all a flutter... and she stands looking around... then bows thrice to the men, as the house light come on...

And she picks up her clothes to a great deal of applause.



'The next set starts in half an hour,' I am told.

But I'm not sticking around, 'coz it's time for my train and I'm sure,

that my supper will be getting cold ...

"Not so much a poem, as a narrative

~ about a moment of now."





Here I am on M1 ward

sitting on my bed-

And, I’m not bored.



Although I’m in here

and it’s sunny outside-

I’ve thoughts to quell

of discord and fear.



I know what to expect-

I’ve been here before.

So, the unknown it isn’t;

yet, in a way

that is the problem-

I know what to expect.



And the staff I’ve met,

and who knew me

from last time,

didn’t run away

as I walked through the door.



What was good,

was noting the

welcoming smile

wasn’t fixed.



It was, to me,

proof evident

if it were needed,

that the staff here

are real-

and treat the person,

as just that…



At least I think so-

I’ve got another…

two and a half days to go!



My primary care nurse was filling in

reams of paper,

in reference, to me…



And while she talked

and took my pulse and temperature,

the fellow with the walrus ‘tache,

in the next bed, had visitors.





He’d smiled and said, “I’ll let you make up your own mind on the food…” adding, “I’ve just had one main meal since I got here…” and

“I’m sure we serve better food to the cons…”



As my opinion on the green

differs from the law,

I’d picked up

on what he’d said,

as soon as it was said.



It was also of note, I’d thought,

that this fellow, the one with the

‘tache, was the son… of an ex-

headmaster, at Secondary School.



Now, call it me

Being me-

But having learnt what I had… I had to

Do something, saying something; I just had to…



Well…

on my brief tour

of the ward,

when talking of art and stuff,

with my smiling primary care nurse,

I learnt that she liked,

the written word.



So, on our return,

I recited my poem

‘Bunk Bed Blues’-

about bricks and the

confinement,

of four walls.



For me, there was no surprise,

when the fellow, in the next bed,

the one with the ‘tache,

went quiet, his nose in a book.



I’ll lay odds, the fellow

doesn’t smoke the green…

of that I’m fairly sure.





At just after seven,

a long-legged blonde,

short-skirted

vision in pink

stood at the entrance

to the ward.



More than once I’ve

thought,

‘I’d like to take

a photograph of her.’



Britney Spears was the

image, that my friend

had chosen for me!



Knowing I’d at least

two shots left, on a roll

of film, of tenty-four,

she’d suggested, I bring

my camera with me.



At her suggestion

and my request,

my friend had

taken her jacket off.



All legs and twirling

blonde hair, in a top

that just about was-

she’d stood

by a tree and,

I’d taken a shot,

with a grin on my face,

stretching from ear to ear.



“Where are the toilets?”

she asked, to which

I’d replied,

“you could’ve used

the ones on the ward.”



“Oh no,” said she,

“I’d wanted to change…”

then, pointing to a pink

carrier-bag, she’d added,

“for your surprise.”





So, I’d minded her

handbag, sitting in the

bus-shelter style

smokers corner

whilst she’d gone

to change.



As I’d waited,

a fellow, in a wheel-chair,

with just one leg,

came out for a smoke.



And I’m sure, that

he appreciated

her surprise, for me,

as much as I do-

For, with a grin, he’d

said to us, “they’d

better not take my

blood pressure now.”



And there she was,

minus jacket,

once again –

dressed in a very

short wraparound

grey belt, masquerading

as a skirt;

white shirt, tie

and golden ring-e-lets.



Again by the tree.

my friend

posed to tease, looking

down, with her eyes

directed, straight to the lens.



I’d taken the shot,

pleased with the

light, being as

bright as it was –

at that time of night.



Having taken the shot,

I’d wound the film

And to my delight,

Found another shot left.



She’d turned, her

left side toward me;

dipped her back,

then pushed outward

her pert derriere.



Short grey shirt,

long smooth legs

and a pose

that said to me –

“I am sweet and sexy,

you can look at me.”



I did more than look,

I held the camera steady,

(although I know not how) –

as I’d used that last shot



Then we’d sat awhile

and talked – and

she’d flipped apart

that short, short skirt,

to display the legend,

in pink, on white, ‘cutie.’



As I’d sighed,

my eyes opened wise-

and she’d said to me,

“Well, you had to, it was

part of the surprise.”



That was my friends’ visit:

And though there was more

I could say – it wouldn’t be,

just couldn’t be, enough.



She’d wanted to

Make me smile,

Before my op –

And … she had.



But, by then it’d

been quite late.

nearly eight: and it

was getting quite dark.



st least I knew

the 410 bus would

get her home –

and that she’d get from

just across the road.



So we’d hugged our

‘goodbyes’ and

I’d returned to the ward,

for a hot drink and

an antiseptic bath.



And, I’m first on the list

tomorrow, I am told:

and that is good –

less waiting around.



The only thing –

And it isn’t a problem,

is that, at about six,

I’ll be bathing again –

So, I’ll be ready for my op…

..It'd been raining hard outside

..and I’d lain back, to chill, watching some Doctor Who I’d thought about it, listening to it rain.

..And, it's a right bugger, to be proven so right in your assumptions, time and time again.

..My hands are cold as ..heck. Says he carefully, not wanting to offend the little-uns: yes, can’t afford to annoy them who swear and stab and get away with it, ‘coz they can: and I’ve met enough of them around nowadays to know I’m not too far off the mark with any disparaging remarks I might make

..what is it I like to say ‘why is it the people who cry out loudest for tolerance are generally the least tolerant of all?’

But, I guess that’s an irrelevancy, this is their world Now, not mine.

..And, I went to the Mere. I had to think. And, this is as much a Now as the one I’d enjoyed for awhile, as I watched the people feeding the ducks, wishing that my Life was as carefree as a ducks. But then, if it were, I’d probably find a way to create waves, even then. And yeah, I’ve been dwelling the classic dwell, on my meaning of Life and Everything, which invariably leads to emotional pain, to myself, or someone that I care for. And such repetition is sheer foolishness, yet still I persist in it.

..While I was down at the Mere, it occurred to me that many of my problem stem from a desire to be understood and accepted. And yet, as I wrote as a quote on my profile, ‘what are we most afraid of ? ~ being known.’ And although I know its true, yet still I make effort to be understood: and by so doing leave myself open and ready to be hurt once again.

..What happens, someone speaks ill of me? In turn, I take it out with curt manner, on those who do take time out and those I least want to hurt, I do.

..I recall reading in a comment left on my profile about people building barriers, not to keep people out; but rather to see who’d be bothered trying to break them down. And, if that’s a truism ~ I must keep bricks and mortar always at hand, metaphorically speaking that is.

..It’d occurred to me as I’d dwelt on all that’s occurred of late to me on VR of late ~ that it’s all of my own making. I either dispense with my protective shell and trust, too soon and far too deeply. Or, I view everything with overtly cynical eyes.

..When I hurt - I recall that past hurt, with the many others from the ‘museum of past hurts’ and then that is all there is: yes, call me an obsessive. I can’t forget each and every hurt and still recall each as vividly as if it had occurred but a second ago.

..And as I carry that hurt, as fresh as it Is, carry it on to the next person that I meet and that person encounters it and the others before it, that have joined it from the museum, even when it’s that last thing I’ve intended to do.

..It’s all a self-fulfilling cycle; I hurt, so I hurt; after being hurt. And, this is a cycle that I wish I’d not learnt to ride.

..I removed The Cottage ~ so as not too offend:

..it was removed on the suggestion of someone who writing I like, who'd suggested it might be removed, due to the possibility id might cause offence to the younger people here.

..I have to wonder though, would the younger readers here have a condemnation of an accurate portrayal of a young man's sexual discovery?

..I'm feeling sensitive ~ I read a journal that didn't speak well of me.

..But, I guess when all is said and done, I'd far rather be too sensitive, than as I have been: it's just that as I aknowledge, I have a fear of rejection and sometimes it's just too much to bear. Y'know?

Christmas Morning 2006

22:02 Dec 25 2006
Times Read: 1,130


Until 1:40 a.m. on Christmas Day morning two thousand and six, I was working on a piece on the laptop bent double, watching little wavy lines appear underneath the occasional words that I’d typed out as I’d worked on yet another part of Pandora’s Players ~ Jason: ‘Tequila Sunset.’

Then I’d gone into the kitchen, to make my Earl Grey tea ready for morning, as is my wont. I’d left my room and walked through the living-room, in the dark, so no light would disturb my parents, who were sleeping.

As I trod carefully and slowly, a well-worn path, which I knew well, I’d quickly noticed the pilot light was still on, as it was the only illumination in an otherwise dark room. I’d closed the door to the living-room and opened the slide door and entering the kitchen, turned on the light.

So it was then I remembered the red wine that I’d been given as a present and my parents and I had consumed with our ‘tea,’ our evening meal; of beef and roasties and roast parsnip, albeit from a freezer bag – the parsnip had still tasted sweet.

And I’d looked at the bottle, still half-full, as we’d all had but one glass – and my Father had attempted to re-seal it: at with point the plunge seal we had had finally given it’s last seal, or not in this case, as it had broken in two and little bits of plastic and rubber had sank to the bottom of the bottle.

Although in hindsight; twenty-fourteen, as there’s a defect to the right eye; I’d really not minded what happened, as my Father had then said, “you can have it later, if you want.” Which is what happened, at 1:47 a.m. in the morning.

And, I still recall that we’d got the re-sealable plunger cap in a Christmas cracker a young persons lifetime ago. And, still to this day, that cap and the twin torches that had dropped out of crackers have gone down in family folklore and tradition, as the best Cracker Presents ever.

And, as I turned the bottle of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon upside down, after making my mug of Earl Grey, I’d recalled another bit of family folklore and tradition; the nickname my Father had earned two or three young people’s lifetimes ago – that of Mr. Fixit, where in he would take anything old, or broken and renovate, or rebuild it; very often when it had been myself who had broken ‘it,’ whatever it might be. And, as I’d gently shaken out of the bottle little bits of plastic and rubber I’d recalled this piece of a memory, forever held and wondered, ‘just how long will it be, until my Father has this thing working again?’

Then wine and tea in hand, I’d wandered from the kitchen to my room and opened my bedroom door, being very careful not to wake the folks.

And then, I’d sat down, cross-legged and hunched over my laptop, to write once again: which is where this piece arose at 2:30 a.m. Christmas Morning.

And, I'm still surprised the wobbly wisdom tooth saw me through the meal of beef, with a fine Chilean red wine.. and currently I'm as stuffed as a turkey.. and I still haven't wrapped my presents.

So, I guess in some ways at least, I am 'a typical guy!'

"Keep away from the window," Little Mother had said as I walked to the kitchen, as she and Dad stare out the front window at the birdbox.

"We're waiting for the blue-tit to come in, they arrive at 4:10 exactly. "

And, with the lights off, there they sat, just watching.

‘I hope the film went well. I would like an update, if you don't mind. I'm still wishing you every success.’ Was part of the email message I’d sent to the woman who wrote ‘Expirydate.’



Then today, I received this, ‘Unbelievable! I was going to visit you later today!!!!! I am making a horror/comedy and we're having a get together for actors on the 12th (tuesday) at 6.00pm. If you'd like to be in it, I can collect you and take you home. Let me know what you think - I'm in a rush now as I have to go and see…’

10/09/91 - and Seven of us in a Sherpa mini-bus

15:21 Dec 06 2006
Times Read: 1,203




Seven of us in a Sherpa mini-bus, a bright yellow of colour: Joe Cocker on the radio, singing ‘With a Little Help From My Friends.’ The roads to the baths are narrow and winding and we’re motoring fast, so we can have a fair amount of time in the water.

Once there and trunks donned, we’re in.

Swam several (short) lengths, it’s only a half-sized pool: then played water polo.

Man, that’s a killer.

First time in the water for several years and when I get out my calf-muscles felt like lead.

Once back in the van, several of us had piped up with, “As slow as you want boss.”

On the return: ‘Black Velvet’ Allanah Miles; spotting young deer, rabbits and women.

Just as I saw the yellow gates of Haverigg, George Michael was singing, ‘Freedom.’
