Retro cool ?!

Here's something that ive been meaning to write for awhile  but have never been in the mood too .  Why do  children  wear retro music t-shirts !!!  Today it was a t-shirt of  70's rock band KISS , another day it was an old AC/DC  album cover  which a child under 10 was wearing .  This music was not of thier generation and they wear them as a fashion item and have probaly never listened to these bands but they know thier cool . Annoying cos at that age i would have had no concept of what was cool for my parents generation ! Sophisticated at such a young age and aware of retro cool . Makes me sick ! Today they are so aware of what they should be seen to be aligning themselves with too as if they are loooking for a knowing nod from the next generation .....and they pull it off too.....

Lifes a puddle !!!

Arrrrgh today someone filled in " the puddle " in our farm yard in the name of " improvement " .  I have known that puddle for 40 years !  I have washed my wellingtons in in for nearly as long . Sounds silly but i have a lot of fond memories of it .
  In winter i used it to see how hard it was freezing by prodding the surfice  . Went i was little it was exciting when it froze solid and we used it as a slide . Sometimes when it rained a layer of ice was under the water which gave you a nasty shock when you walked through it !!! We rode our bikes through it too spraying water about .  It was always there . In hot summers it dried up and it was akward not having it to wash our wellies off ( we now have a tap ) but it aint the same LOL If i know anything a bout water ( and i do ) i expect it will reform washing out the gravel and re-appearing . Water is bad to control and does as it will .
  Mmmm this has me thinking about Dent green rounabout that was there for all my life till the council scrapped it for a new style play ground . Fucking sacrilage . That roundabout was the green . It was Dent . It had history . Tossers.....
