Ratbags

This morning when I went to put my phone in my bag, it wasn't where I thought it would be. "Bother" I thought "Must have left it at work." Get to work and no it isn't there. "Bother, must be at home after all"

At home tonight, looked high and low and the phone is nowhere in sight. So what do I do but ring it. And...Hello someone answers. Must have dailed wrong.
No I didn't 'cos when I dialed it again, guess what.?

Yup, you got it in one.. Someone answered.
Kid on the other end says I don't know anything about the phone, Mum brought it home.

What next!!! I phone security at work, who will talk to the manager of the cleaning company to see who was working in my office area last night.
Then call the phone company and they 'kill' the phone
Then call the insurance company. They say report it to the police and we will action a claim.
So no prizes for guessing what I'm doing in the morning.

Now and again I had thought that the odd thing was in short supply or not where I left it. Now I am
very suspicious and angry.

Can't really blame security, they do have to let the cleaners in to diferent parts of the building.It would not have been hard for soemone to pick it up off my desk while they were supposed to be cleaning it.

The Philospy of Dr Bob

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday and all is well
If plan A doesn't work there are lots more letters in thealphabet to choose from
Technology is great, but texting will never take the place of a real voice, even one on the end of the telephone
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke
Age is just a number, old is inside your head.
Dr Bob says ‘Happiness is not a destination... Happiness is a way of life’
There is a school of though that says ‘be careful for what you wish for...it might just come true’ Dr Bob says knowing what to wish for and wishing for it are two different things. Knowing what to do with your life has nothing to do with wishing; more to do with what we ourselves do to make our dreams come true. Dream big. Dr Bob says ‘Happiness is not a destination... Happiness is a way of life’
Some would say never, look behind you the past is the past and should be left behind. Dr Bob says remember to look behind you, sometimes the best views are retrospective.
If you've had a kindness done, pass it on. iIt wasn't meant for you alone,Pass it on, let it wander down the years, let it dry anothers tears, til in heaven the deed appears.Pass it on.

I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.

I remember, I remember
The roses red and white,
The violets and the lily cups--
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,--
The tree is living yet!

I remember, I remember
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
The summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.

I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.
