Happy, happy was I to share what we could not deny
for you and I were ever chasing the tide
turned against us as keen as the wind
of change in our hearts entwined though they were.

You were slender in eastern sky blues shining in the whites
of my eyes, which in turn dived into the deepest
shallows of your all conquering black eyes
calling to our shelter beneath those pines

A love so alive, yet laid so low ...for so long
one smile, touch, glance, tone or ...kiss
unfazed by rain pouring down on those famous white cliffs
crawling to our shelter beneath those pines

Your blues and whites slipping so low
soft sounds enhanced with eyes closed
as precious moments shared have now
slipped from our shelter that was beneath those long gone pines.

2-1! Norwich managed a good performance, at least AFTER going one down on 84...seconds! But thereafter the performance which brought two goals before half-time was reminiscent of the Championship winning season two years ago. The second-half was a scrap, but they won and please let this be the serious start to the season. Huckerby had a very good game, and they really should have added a third before the HT whistle. Anyway, Norfolk is happy enough today...

Tonight it's Liverpool and Chelsea...the battle of the two 'special ones' and I feel Liverpool have to get in front tonight. I'm confident they can get another draw at Stamford Bridge, but tonight needs the spirit of that first-half performance against Juventus last season. Even a slender one goal advantage, I feel, will be enough to take to Chelsea in the return leg.
I do not know if Chelsea are any better than they were last season, or, for that matter, if Liverpool are...but I know in a Champions League fixture, LFC can win...and I keep my fingers crossed for that.
September and May are very different in footballing terms!

This morning is again beautifully clear and sunny, a glorious September is upon us here in the far-east of England, and I started my day with Jordan's Country Crisp, my daily does of coffee and tounyuu.
Actually, every day I start with a lot of water, a cleanser, and then an hour later, a conventional breakfast. I miss lunch sometimes, but never can pass on my breakfast...this is, as many say, the most important for me. Whether it be toast and cheese, wholemeal bread and salami, cornflakes...or (from a recent suggestion), porridge.

Yesterday, I seemed to have a blackout on my stairs, and fell...I can't remember how or why it happened, but fall I did, and lucky I am...I must have fallen from the turn of flight, and twisted my knee and ankle, as that was heaving with pain after I came round.
...but one hour later, a nice warm hug from a friend helped get me back on me feet!!
