Monday Musing

Dear Pogue, This Monday I find myself in need of help. Having been away for the best part of a month has allowed me to stand outside of my day-to-day situation. This has been enhanced by being part of an unfamiliar culture which has aided my reflections, giving a varried perspective. Here’s my question. Is … Continue reading Monday Musing

Well Pogue, Jazz seems to be a big thing where I currently am. I’ve always liked jazz so sitting in restaurants or coffee shops is a real pleasure. I just don’t listen to enough jazz so to set this right I thought I would share with you one of my all time favourites. Just appreciate … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Monday Musing

Morning Pogue, I once sat and did some maths to find out if I hadn’t had children how old I would have been before I could have afforded an Aston Martin. I could have owned one a long time ago🥴 But now I wouldn’t thank you for giving me one, or anything else prestigious for … Continue reading Monday Musing

A Little Bit Of Swedish Heaven.

And an institution in my home since I have discovered it. I am sure I am a Swede in exile. Now where did I put the cinnamon rolls? Anyone else for a little fika?

A Coffee Incident

So my best friend and I are on our travels and laying by a pool, in the sun, on some foreign shore. It’s late morning, breakfast is some hours gone and the need for coffee is beginning to rise. I stop the waiter as he passes and request a double espresso with a little milk. … Continue reading A Coffee Incident

Small Things

Dear Pogue, Do you ever struggle to find joy in life? I know I do on occasions and the last week or so it’s been particularly hard, what with having Covid and all. Inspiration has certainly been in short measure. But the thing is, and it is only as I sit here and search for … Continue reading Small Things

How Fickle Are The Gods

Dear Pogue, The Gods of the Railway Crossing have turned against me! I know not what I’ve done. But yesterday morning their blessing was removed. However I have determined to rise above superstition and live free. So as an act of defiance I had a good day anyway and created my own blessings. And breakfast … Continue reading How Fickle Are The Gods

The Gods of the Railway Crossing.

Dear Pogue, I wrote you last week and sent you a song that I heard while sitting in my favourite coffee house.

Now, when I go there I play a game because … Continue reading The Gods of the Railway Crossing.

Hey Pogue, Just been sitting in my favourite coffee shop and enjoying a flat white (2 actually) and some of that excellent cake that they always seem to have.

Monday Musings

Pogue, ...Monday...alarm clock noises...yawn...turn over and close eyes... But, listen, win the morning, win the day. That's what your brother's motto seems to be and he's right. Because how you approach a thing, how you start out will invariably determine your achievement. I know there's a philosophy that says that it's not how you start … Continue reading Monday Musings

Twice in a Week!

Pogue, You’ve had Songs To Pogue this week but I couldn’t resist out staying my welcome with a second tune.

So the years coming towards an end Pogue, I might only get a couple more musical moments in🥺.

Foughts on a Friday

Pogue, I thought (yes I can spell it) I would tell you something that happened and it will make you smile. So I went Christmas shopping yesterday.

THE COFFEE MACHINE BROKE!!!!!!! I don’t know if I can face the day. I certainly can’t deal with people. All my superpowers have deserted me and I’m thinking of just going back to bed and pulling the duvet over my head. It won’t be long before I become all twitchy I know. If you’re a … Continue reading Tuesday Trauma!

What’s up, Pogue. Sunday morning. Coffee in bed. No worries. Life’s good. And to add to today’s goodness, another song. This is a local band.

The songs not half bad … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
