Fiona's Quiet Life

I was doing fine,felt i had got through the fest­ive sea­son quite well and think­ing that was it , and i would be OK now, dan­cing about the house i was , get­ting fit for the next challenge,been uptown ‚bought a swim­suit, then a song on a Cd i had been dan­cing to called 12 songs by Neil Dia­mond, the song was called Hell yeah , it was the last verse about did he know he would be missed .….….….that was it .…tears stream­ing down my face, if it had been in a movie it would not have looked real. .….….….. i could see dur­ing the Christ­mas time why people end it all or take an acci­dental over­dose of sleep­ing pills, some­times you won­der why wait about, but i did not feel as bad as that , i could just see why people felt like it. .….. any­way i am mostly cheer­ful so worry ye not.

Neil Dia­mond has been there all my life, provid­ing a soundtrack for it.….…?I fell for him when i was 13.…didn’t know the song i so enjoyed was really about bottled beer ( crack­ling Rosie) . i had my best moments with him singing in the back­ground, there was always a song for how i felt and now he is age­ing at the same speed as me and his music reflects it. twice he was here in Glas­gow but both times Basil was in hos­pital and there was only the hour vis­it­ing time at night and he so looked for­ward to my vis­its (i had to be the first vis­itor in or he was wor­ried )?that i wouldn’t have missed one , so i missed Neil dia­mond instead, i con­ten­ted myself with play­ing Cd’s loudly in the car on the way to the hos­pital and singing loudly, people must have thought me mad.….…Nicola tried to get tick­ets for his Lon­don visit this sum­mer but we were too late , i have signed up for his news­let­ter now so we wont miss the next tour if he man­ages another one
