Thanks

Thanks Croix....if and when I need to let the emotions come to the fore, I have my favorite CDs to play while driving...music from the big shows...some just instrumental, some with voices...Rodgers Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Weber etc.....they hit the nail on the head every time!

Have a CD in the car by Michael Ball singing them all at the moment....You'll Never Walk Alone is particularly powerful for me at this time!! also Love Changes Everything is brilliant...have a listen to it some time and listen to the words Croix. (I believe I recommended u tube of him singing it at tribute to Lloyd Weber at Albert Hall...gradually joined onstage by other musical stars.....(Gee I miss the bowls club)........

Dear Moon~

"Love, will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
"

It's true, even 20+ years since my fist wife passed away the love is still there and she is still with me (love can grow, the more you give the more you have, so my second wife is as much loved as my first).

Now, on a practical side, while you may think listening to your CDs in the car is pretty good, please be aware that grief can spring up unexpected and overwhelming. I'd not like you to crash your car again, you might get hurt next time. Please avoid those CDs whch are likely to affect you when driving -Please?

Bowls will be back. There is simply too great a need built into humans to bowl, and tons of others to watch. If one way does not work another will spring up to answer those needs. The Roar of the Greasepaint and smell of the Crowd will return.

Dear Moon

Do to the limitations concerning bowling Im unable to give you the more specific up-beat answers I would wish.

However if there is a vaccine things will return to as is, or close to it, if one is not found then the big bowling operations will stop marking time (which is a cheap thing to do) and have to spend some money and smaller operations will then follow suit.

Dear Moon~

Our paths have not crossed for a while and was wondering how you were coping

Hi Croix....I'm Ok...I guess...just as usual, sick of all the FEAR being spread from day one..and continues to be so. Spent delightful few days with family...as I had been on tenterhooks for ages now...our Premier wouldn't say Yes or No for the July 10 border opening (which was the date one of them had bookings to arrive here...good timing hey?) Well, as you know the borders were opened....and they got through.

Despite the hyped up media about long long wait...several hours etc to get across....was expecting a hellish day taking much longer to get here from NSW.....but, as further proof not to believe all we read and see on the media....got across with no trouble at all, wasn't even stopped, asked any questions or had to show any documents or passes.

and still so many many people believe everything they hear via the media...(except those in the media of course). Hoping you and your loved ones are fine...all the way through this, you seem to be in good shape...I hope that is right....

as you know my bowling cannot continue as before until they lift the size of gatherings up much higher...otherwise not worth our while to go back to "normal" at all...we would go broke! We are at the bottom of the list to be lifted.......stay well...thanks for thinking of me...Moon S x

Dear Moon~

I've been thinking about the bowling problem, and while some large companies may throw money into large commercial bouts, fencing off enclaves, there may well be a very small parallel to what I found in a completely unrelated field.

I may have mentioned I studied drama in the 60's and there were a fair number of very small productions, and their audiences would easily fit the 4 square meter rule.

They were not ambitious, in fact mostly amateur, and some had no sets or costumes, lighting was joke, but the spirit came though. Some were studying at my uni, some in NIDA and the venues were scrounged (as the Jane St Theater charged a fee).

Maybe bowling will re-start both ways too

Dear All~

My posts over the next few days will be missing or sporadic. I've some matters to take care of (nothing to worry about) and will be "resuming normal service as soon as possible"

Dear Moon~

How are you managing?
