Well, everyone. I am back. I’ve been to the Families in Global Transition conference in Houston and had a wonderful time among friends old and and new, learned a lot, laughed a lot and drank too many margaritas. I was inspired by one of my fellow speakers, Apple Gidley, who suggested we might write our life stories (bear it in mind that those who attended FIGT were ‘global nomads’ like me) in six words. She gave the examples of:
Roast beef to barbecue via noodles
For sale baby shoes never worn
I guess mine might be:
lakes to canals via sand dunes
what would yours be?

ELTON! Where are you gone AGAIN?!
Come play word games with Bridget!!
I sang at her funeral, me.
I was ace I was, even the Queen came up to me after an says, “Ere Elt, that were brilliant wot you just sung fer us it were, listen see we is avin right posh do next week right, an me an Phil reckon you’re just about the best person to show us how to lay the tables proper. See we’ve got some right fancy top nobs and nancies comin over, an I just get fed up of them sorts taking p!5s out of us fer gettin it all the wrong way round like.”
See she’s only human she is.
LOL!
But hey, isn’t David a big part of your life EJ? And you left him out of your 6-word life story!
He’s gonna be heart-broken David is! Already he ain’t talking to you he ain’t (remember? you made him banana-less!). Do something EJ, review your line!!
You knows what Aunty Bridget, he’s still not talking to me he isn’t! I even went out and bought im a new banana I did an he says that its just not the same as is little orphaned Melvin (the baby banana).
Well I reckon he’s behavin like right poofter I do, it’s not that I’m unsympathetic, but I was proper hungry see, an if he’s not careful I’m gonna end up scoffin is other banana too!
I agree with you EJ. David should be happy you ate his orphaned banana! Doesn’t he know that the way to a man’s heart is thru his stomach?!
That’s the very reason why Bridget is still on the shelf EJ ha!
Aunty Bridget! You ought to to tell im off you ought too! Scoffed my Melvin he did, poor defenceless little orphan an all!
After all wot I’ve done for Elt an all. See if it weren’t for me that Elton bloomin John would still be playin is piano and singin is songs for just a fiver a night in some rubbish pub. It were me what got im the big gigs, playin in hotel foyers and at weddins and all.
Takes ome an average of 50 to 60 quid night now he does, all thanks to me an my negotiatin skills. Still we does enjoy all that lovely dosh tho. He’s not a bad egg, just gets me right frustrated sometimes see.
I might feed im my banana just to make up.
I’ve got a new moped an sidecar, appen we’ll go for a romantic weekend camping in it.

life’s digressions make more fun Bridget

still searching but meaning is close
Thanks for dropping in again Zack!
Ohlala! Bridget is so honoured. David in person!
Hmmm. Now that I’ve read all the sacrifices you’ve so .. manly made for EJ, I reckon you are right David, I should be telling EJ off I should!
EJ, come take that poor lad David’s peace offering, a real lil charmer he is that sweet boy, he’s taking you on a romantic getaway he is!
(Lord me. I wonder what Exp Ins will say when she reads all this digression on her post..aaargh..)
