I'm amazed how you in your own eloquent style expanded on the information from the genealogy research I did for you with pleasure. Yo...

For as long as I can remember I have been heavy, some would say dangerously heavy, but that was decades ago. However, patients like me must be the cause of nightmare's for those of the countries ambulance crews who may have to lift us, the immovable bulks of this world!

This is a story of good fortune, for why else would wild nature bestow such a privilege on one such as I ?

Reality see's us all get old and eventually fall ill. Black humour, if used correctly, can make such times seem immeasurably better, which has benefited both my family and myself.

A slam dunc is an Americanisation that suits this reflection for there is no English equivalent that fits so well.

To find true love is a precious gift, perhaps a gift from God. To find what seems like true love, from more than one person, could very well prove to be a gift from Hell!

It is pleasing to be told that people have enjoyed reading my many memories of times gone by, and I have been asked to write more. This one tells of some memories about me but from another source, that I felt deserved to be immortalised in 'Ken's Cosy.'

Routine is a splendid thing for those approaching their later years for, in its way, its comforting to know what the day holds in store for us. This Cosy memory tells of a surprise that two of my brothers inadvertently gave to my wonderful wife, ensuring the start to her day was far from routine!

This is a reflection on a time when youngsters had to earn their treats and were happy to do so. It covers the decades of the 1950's and 60's and I'm grateful to my sister for sharing her memories of what her grandchildren call, 'The Olden Days.'

This Cosy article links my thoughts on some record buyers of 1957 with the indecisive 'don't know' voters of today. Both are pains in the backside to the people who think like me!

Three memories, one recent, one old, and one almost ancient. All tell of occasions where I have felt the need to air my anger or, as the saying goes, vent my spleen. In this story I get to use a phrase regarding my past behaviour that was eventually bound to happen, 'My comeuppance!'

This tells of the almost certain direction my vote will go in the forthcoming General Election, and of the part, Lord Neil Kinnock, played in my decision to once again become a Floating Voter!

I wrote this message to tell of an inevitable event that will affect many close to me. I am not being melancholic for I intend to be around for years, but I felt the need to point out that one can be with someone, even when death or distance separates you!
