Lavondyss
###########################################################

YESTERDAY I received a tape from my 92 year old pal Syd,
and today Gordon, Al and I listened to the stories of this 'ol charmer.

Mainly for Gordon, who hasn't heard MOST of them..; Syd's stories about
his lost love Mona.. whom once he bought a negligay, which he never
ended up giving her ~instead he tried it on Nel.., who DIDN'T want to
try it on NEITHER..
, and tales about his exploits as a boundary rider,
all impressed Gordon VERY MUCH..........

Yesterday too, I found in my collection a reproduction of
LAVONDYSS by Robert Holdstock (Grafton) written in brackets..

Why this is such an important find, I will hope to elucidate later,
but I WILL do it..

Today I found the most information I have ever found 'in the one hit'
on Godwulf, whom I am researching at the moment..,
(so I am WELL PLEASED !) ..from 'the wikipedia' of all places..
Godwulf being one of my ancestors ~out of many, I will have something to
chew on for a while; there being SO many LINKS to explore..,
some of which is familiar..some of which is news to me.

THAT, in a nutshell, was 'the otherwise 4-gotten part' of my past few
days.. I felt prompted to Update on.


I will check if the LINK works..then Post..then do some Dreaming..

Nice to know old Syd is still plugging along. Wondered if he sounded as dejected as the tape he sent in January. It would have brought memories back for Gordon as well.

..No, he sounded bloody brite.. ..in the best frame of mind I've heard him in, since his rellies stuck him in the "rest-home" in Carterton ! It's a tape I'll treasure ESPECIALLY, since it may very well B his last one.., but may B MOST of all Bcoz of the time at which it arrived; Gordon (Gordonicus) being here 2 listen 2 it FIRST UP with us; and my "double find" of LAVONDYSS on THAT DAY; AND the {as yet un-xplained} connection with Kent {England}, which, 2 ME is very, very significant........ {the "Y" will follow later.. haha, when "the defragging of A WHOLE LOT OF DATA in my mind, as well as on 2 many loose leaves of paper, is completed"..}

Pat & Darrell have arrived back on Thursday {13th}; house-boat launch was given a miss due 2 wild weather; and my tooth got fixed BEAUTIFULLY..and 4 free by dr. Ho.. {dr. Fraser's locum}. 4 ONCE I have had reason 2 B HAPPY with a locum's dental work, hehe.
Must dash off.......
