Threw the dog a half eaten kransky from the fridge so I could toss out four day old salad remains and clean the container. The dog gave me that look that says "this food cold". I told him to wait for it to warm up so he took it outside to play with it. Drank half my second coffee of three heaped teaspoons of instant coffee in a half filled cup of boiling water.</p><p>I'm old suddenly. I did not see it coming. Not the reality. The first person experience. It was always just something imagined. I have a bit of a toothache. I always put it off because of money but eventually it goes where the others have gone before it. Soon maybe I'll have to live on mush or get false teeth. As i contemplate the next task for making the school lunch I realise that being in the now is what happiness is really all about.</p><p>It dawned on me that I was enjoying the task of making the school lunch. The Zen of it. The full mindfulness of the moment with balancing time between cooking, cleaning, preparing, talking to the dog and all without really thinking about the myriad things there are to be distracted by. Right now there are so many millions of people suffering. The world's climate might make it worse. World hatred and fear grows. My body is failing. I have to have some major surgery. The family has problems with children's family breakup. The boy is waking ready to watch YouTube before school. I return to making his lunch.</p><p>Lunch made so back to watching the world through my feeds. News and social media feeds. Right now it's about Israel. It has so far killed about twenty thousand people and displaced hundreds of thousands.</p><p>Suffering.</p><p>I made breakfast and washed the dishes while I talked to the dog and I was happy.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679155531632552072.post-70928013301849859632023-10-29T06:15:00.000+11:002023-10-29T06:15:10.359+11:00Tonight they're bombing Gaza<p> </p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><p> The kids cry in the dark</p><p> The blood and grime they can't wash off</p><p> their future's bleak and stark</p><p><br /></p><p> The white man's world is cheering on</p><p> We're paying for the bombs</p><p> We've sent our finest soldiers</p><p> To help kill kids and moms</p><p><br /></p><p> They say there's oil off Gaza</p><p> It's Palestine's of course</p><p> But after ethnic cleansing</p><p> It's ours by rule of force</p><p><br /></p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><p> It's been going on for weeks</p><p> They've leveled almost every house</p><p> With rotting death it reeks</p><p><br /></p><p> Around the world some protest</p><p> The slaughter and the death</p><p> But Zionists they say it's good</p><p> And lie with every breath</p><p><br /></p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><p> The kids die in the dark</p><p> They die there in their mother's arms</p><p> While more bombs scream and bark</p><p><br /></p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><p> But what are we to do?</p><p> We'll all claim we are innocent</p><p> We'll claim we never knew</p><p><br /></p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><p> They're bombing in G-d's name</p><p> To bury all of Palestine</p><p> In blood and tears and pain</p><p><br /></p><p> Tonight they're bombing Gaza</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679155531632552072.post-76126341559256266872023-07-02T18:06:00.003+10:002023-07-02T18:06:54.276+10:00Approaching cannabis boom bust cycle in Thailand?<p>I don't blog much do i. I guess it's my laziness or something. Baggage too. Seems so mirkish.</p><p>Right now, in July 2023, in Thailand, you can find little dope stalls everywhere and bigger shops never very far.</p><p>The prices are very high. Compared to the Aotearoa black market. About $680 to $965 per ounce in NZD.</p><p>I had reported this in a FB post.</p><p>I discovered that the reason all the dope here is very expensive is that the business minded Thais, who don't for a one of them overlap with the old school apt growers, have to import their grass - and they do it on line. Mostly from the USA.</p><p>The old hippy Thais who actually spent their lives learning how to quietly grow and crop good weed making such an easy life just selling to a small but steadily growing local market.</p><p>Right now, anyone who can grow good weed and make it available on line can make a living here. Or a fortune.</p><p>But they need to know and have a trusting relationship with farmers. Or be married to a Thai who owns at least a little land.</p><p>Thais are good learners and farming is in their blood.</p><p>Something to ponder.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679155531632552072.post-39095259692819636712021-06-18T16:08:00.004+10:002021-06-18T16:21:25.190+10:00Tabhair Dom Do Lámh in D on the tenor banjo - with words<p> No. Not the original words.

I was rushing between distant towns hungry tired and grim<br />
C F G<br />
when bad weather came and made me chuck it in<br />
G F Am<br />
Some buildings and a single light, i parked there in the street<br />
C F G<br />
and just sat there until i fell asleep<br />
<br />
G F Am<br />
forced out into the pouring rain cause i just had to pee<br />
C F G<br />
when some joker braved the storm to rescue me<br />
G F Am<br />
he dragged me into somewhere - an old and sturdy shed<br />
C F G<br />
with lights and people sitting being fed (and)<br />
<br />
chorus<br />
F C<br />
the very worst bush band in the world (1 or more times)<br />
F C <br />
the world's worst singers the world's worst players<br />

but ancient folk magic made it work (that old folk magic..some old folk magic...)<br />

he sat me with some people who smiled at me or waved<br />
and beer and pav just magically appeared<br />
it seemed so unbelievable on such a wicked night<br />
oh eff me days i could not believe my ears<br />
<br />
before long i was swingin and swayin to the sound<br />
as everybody danced before the band<br />
and though it sounded horrible i could not help myself<br />
some magic seemed to drag me by the hand (it was)<br />
<br />
chorus<br />
<br />
then suddenly i woke up still sitting in my car<br />
the buildings gone the night sky filled with stars<br />
and though i passed it off as just a dream to leave behind<br />
that awful sound keeps running through my mind<br />
<br />
chorus<br />

Thanks so much to Peter for this material<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm lead singer (for a change in this, and mandolin) Chris McManus doing the better than mine harmony, Terry Toohill holding us all together on the bass and Peter Scott playing banjo in a way i didn't realise then was totally unique and really solid - we didn't need a drummer.<br />

<br />
C Bb<br />
first saw him play and sing when i was struggling with the blues<br />
F C<br />
i listened and i watched with open envy<br />
C Bb<br />
i fumbled on self-conscious 'cause i was just a learner<br />
F C<br />
but i vowed i'd be as good as Marcus Turner<br />
<br />
C Bb<br />
I didn't see him often cause I lived across the tracks<br />
F C<br />
and my life was hectic, difficult and crazy<br />
C Bb<br />
but his playing and his singing made my determination sterner<br />
F C<br />
"one day i'll play as good as Marcus Turner"<br />
<br />
C Bb<br />
I fled to live in Sydney and busked my way through school<br />
F C<br />
joined bands and made music for a living<br />
C Bb<br />
and as i learned the mandolin my confidence grew firmer<br />
F C<br />
"i bet now i'm as good as Marcus Turner!"<br />
<br />
C Bb<br />
then back to Dunedin - he was even better than before<br />
F C<br />
in every way he seemed to go on winning<br />
C Bb<br />
i loved him and i hated him - i'd always be the learner<br />
F C<br />
and i'd never play as good as Marcus Turner<br />
<br />
C Bb<br />
I gave up playing music, a long story i wont tell<br />
F C<br />
for 30 years i went without much pickin'<br />
C Bb<br />
though Marcus went from strength to strength i heard not a murmur<br />
F C<br />
i no longer thought at all of Marcus Turner<br />
<br />
C Bb<br />
Now i'm old and cranky my fingers stiff and sore<br />
F C<br />
and Marcus, well, he is gone forever<br />
C Bb<br />
when i think of what i might have been if i had pushed it further<br />
F C<br />
i'd still never be as good as Marcus Turner<br />
