Hi Soodle. I think you were the one who introduced me to Bap Kennedy. I just felt like listening to him and found he died last year. I am so sorry that his lovely presence has changed worlds.
3:55 pm

Cursor in chat box, as I was considering crowing about my new Nesspresso Maker - Mothers Day Gift. Decided not to crow, crowed anyway. Sorry!

Ah, Bugs.... Google 'Louis O Carroll Fishersmans Green'. Lou was my uncle, killed in a car crash 5 years ago.. A wonderful singer & true gentleman.
4:00 pm

For sure. But I still get great pleasure from youtube videos of them. My Dad was the eldest of 15, and Louis was the youngest... My Dad is now 89. He still misses his baby brother. :-(
4:06 pm

there is always a sting to any death. When my father's brother died at 90 the rest of them all dispaired that he was "just a baby'
