BLUES

pantsqueen — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:37:59 +0000

Don’t know whether it’s the weather or what, but today I have the blues. Have been thinking back over the past few years and have decided that I haven’t liked them very much. I can’t remember the last time I felt happy. There have been the odd moments of course, but very fleeting…nothing on top of the world or contented though. To be honest I suppose I am lonely. I don’t want anything permanent but it would be nice to have someone special in my life..suppose I blew my chance of that years ago, stupid Jo!

Think that must be the trouble with getting older, you start looking back and regretting so many things and so many missed opportunities. All the thoughts get stuck in your head and go round and round and you can’t talk about them with anyone…it makes you feel so alone. Ah well, tomorrow is a different day so I hope it will be a bit better and that I will want to smile and not to cry!

It is ages since I posted anything on here! I seem to keep forgetting all about the poor thing….sorry Blog. A lot of things have changed since I last wrote, I am older for a start. I would like a holiday, but two things stand i. I can’t afford one. 2. I hate travelling..Plus the fact that I hate staying in hotels. It is times like this that I wish I still had our static or our touring caravan, unfortunately the upkeep was too expensive and the lack of a car wouldn’t help my urge to escape at random. No pleasing me is there? Stop moaning woman..Just be grateful for what you have. NO!

TEMPER

I really must stop being irritated so easily. It has taken me years to control my temper and now somebody seems to be making me waste all that hard work. I dislike people who don’t consider others or take their feelings in to account. Oh Jo, give over, give people the benefit of the doubt and make allowances. No! I have been doing it all my life, and now, at my age, it is the time to stop. Be assertive, not aggressive and make your point woman!

Improve!!

Must IMPROVE! Get myself motivated and stop sitting around on my backside all day. Trouble is I feel so tired, I can’t work up any enthusiasm for anything. Think I need a break of some sort. not a bone break, a break in boring routine. I shall have to think hard about how to go about it…

TIME

Totally forgot about my poor Blog! How could I do that? Computer breakdowns etc. had a lot to do with it I suppose. I haven’t done anything with my Father’s letters that I promised to do either. Might carry on in the future but at the moment my heart isn’t in it. Ah well! Such is life as they say.

My Darling Wife.

Just a line to let you know I arrive OK at 4 O’clock on Monday morning. The two other fellows & myself wandered around London trying to get something to eat until 7 O’clock then we gave up, and arrived hear at 8 O’clock. Since then we have not had a minute to spare until 7 O’clock pm, and having had any sleep during the night you can tell I am just about to go to bed at 8 O’clock to try & get some strenght back.

We have been isssued with all our kit including the white flash for our caps. The tailor came this afternoon & took our uniforms etc to make them fit properley.

I was a bit upset on Sunday night & I hope you are not feeling so bad now, one day has gone already before I come home for 7 days, they wont allow us out yet here, when they will I dont know. Anyway we have the best corporal we could possibly have.

They have told me you will have your pay book through in about 10 days.

I wont say anymore now until later in the week except I love you very very much.

With all my love & kisses

Pat

P.S. It will be OK for you to write here as we will be here for 3 weeks my love. X

All my love & kisses & a big kiss for Jud

The hopes and dreams of too many young men ended abruptly during the course of World War Two. A great many families were to lose the love of someone they held dear, a love that could never be replaced.

I have compiled these letters for my sons Alasdair, Ian and Michael (Foxx) so that they can learn a little about the Grandfather they never knew.

The memory of his hope and his courage deserves to be kept alive for the grandchildren he would have loved had he been given the chance to know them.

Catch me a moment

Wrap it around my mind

Catch me a moment

But not one too unkind.

Catch me a moment

The nicest you can find,

Catch me a moment

Don’t leave it behind.

Trap it in my memory

So it won’t come undone,

Trap it in my memory

To shine like the sun.

Trap it in my memory

So we become as one,

Trap it in my memory

Until my day is done.

BETTER DAY

pantsqueen — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:53:53 +0000

Today was a much more reasonable day. The sun shone, I had somebody working with me and everything seemed to go very smoothly. The day passed quite quickly actually. Now it is the start of my Bank Holiday, and tomorrow I am going to make a proper start on the letters from my Dad that my Mum received during World War 2. Maybe nobody will ever read any of them but that doesn’t bother me, it will just be my way of paying tribute to him.

Nothing much to write about today. Would have been a good day I suppose, except for all sorts of niggley little things going wrong. None of them my fault (I don’t think) but they do have a rub off effect. Suppose I am just tired which is why everything seems to have gravelled my ass and made me want to emigrate! Ah well. I suppose tomorrow will be more reasonable, it better bloody well had be!
