@tonys my friend how you feeling?
I told you not to check the mail and you have done really good 👍🏼
Everyday I hope you’re getting plenty of rest and your beloved Bookkeeper has been reading to you.
Get better my friend, the world is a better place for having you in it.

Hello everyone.. Sorry I've been so silent. Covid hit me hard. Not passed the "whinge Phase"
so thought it best to pull the doona over the world, Plus, I'm off meds till I feel better.
I worry about all of you in the awful heat, storms, and fires. Meggle.. I hear you morphed into
@Oaktree .. Hope you are well friend. when I got really sick, you asked me for a poem.
You know me too well friend. I sat up in bed, under the shade of your tree, and thought,
I better make an effort. Made a map of where I think you all live and the weather mans words
are not often welcome lately.
I'm not much at bush poetry, but .. hey its valentines, and I want my sweetheart, " the bookkeeper", wading
my shore's, and no one else's. so
WATER FLOWING.
The night they crossed the Rio Grande
and closed a sunset red.
Through veil of night
and cold winds bite
into the vast they fled.
Stolen horse down water coarse
defiled that river blue.
Colt in hand n stolen grand
till death the law pursue
A stallion splash of race bred steel
that cuts a stone pond still
Lovers pleas they failed to heed
they ride for pride and thrill
The night they crossed the river deep
beneath a starlit sky
The night that parted lovers weep
till river beds run dry.
All the treasures wild men seek
Sweet bosoms loving charms.
But men they'd rather ride n raid
and answer calls to arms.
The night he rode the Rio Grande
cross crimson river bled.
His ride returned
and fate she learned
in cold n lonely bed.
The devil's dust across the rust
and sun scar scorching plain.
The posse's of the ghosts that lust
to brand us with their pain.
So ride till you can ride no more
and ride back to her door.
But maidens scorned
once hearts de- thorned
Will wade a new found shore.
Tell me was the path you chose
the one she'd suffer least.
Forget to water wilted rose
You'll drink the wells that you impose
and wake a baron beast.. tonys. mb 1 14.2.24.

@tonys good to hear from you my friend.
Prayin' that you're better soon.
As always another wonderful piece of prose from the talented Sane gang, I've been keeping them all and read them often.
It's a blistering 43 here in my part Perthville Thursday so I'll be lying low.
I hope everyone else is doing well, take care and blessings 🙌

Hello @tonys have been doing metaphysical prayers for you for added cosmic support when I can! lol
You might want to know a nifty nurses tip I learnt from Bottom Line Magazine - a US publication that has got me through all kinds of situations living on my own.
If you have congestion from covid whack a suitcase under your mattress on an angle so you can elevate your torso.
You will sit upright and it will help with the congestion.
Other than that we are not allowed to do health posts on here.
But the old nurses tip I think is a good idea.
I hope you are ok and you and your valentine have a beautiful day together.
