21st December 2019 - !2 Days of Christmas and Absent Friends

Thought or the day :"I looked for dates on tinned good – but they just wanted to be friends"

There is a confusion as to whether the Solstice is today - the 21st December or tomorrow 22nd December - I googled and that suggests tomorrow ... But everyone is wishing each other good wishes and Happy Yule - so I may as well jump on the bandwagon...

So Updated for 2019....  Happy Yule, Solstice, Christmas - whatever

and in inappropriate pictures with bad taste..

House keeping today - so the dog is running around hiding form the hoover. Upstairs completed except for doing the beds... Polished the living room and have to hoover the stairs and downstairs...
Sciatica a bit troublesome today - a bit more than usual - thinking it may be the damp weather. Susie found an Osteopath yesterday to try to free off her trapped nerve in her shoulder - and he says that he works well with sciatica - so may try in the new year ... 

Meanwhile I have one day left to try to get "Absent Friends" into the Can...

Absent Friends  (Wes Cardy and Greg Tingey)

Intro. chords

E A E B7 E

The time has come to say goodnight

For every road must end

For the ones who care and are always there

Our very special friends

Let’s say goodnight to those we love

And maybe shed a tear

But before we close let’s think of those

We love who can’t be here

Let’s raise our hands to absent friends

For every road must end

You’ll always be there in our hearts

Our special absent friends

As we go down the road of life

Sometimes we race too far

And as we chase the future bright

We can’t forget the past

So let us cherish memories

We hold inside our hearts

Where those we love will always live

And never to depart

Chorus

And when it’s time for us to go

And our long journey ends

We’ll never be alone you see

We’ll be with absent friends

Let’s raise our hands to absent friends

For every road must end

You’ll always be there in our hearts

Our special absent friends

Cheers !
