Funny the things that pop into your head waiting for dinner to finish cooking.
I just heard Barry Manilow on the radio. We have only one thing in common we were born on the same day,other than that our lives have been completely different of course. He is an entertainer known throughout the world,I live on a little island unknown to most people even on the mainland in town
I grew up to fix farm machinery laying on farmers fields on cold January mornings with my breath freezing as I exhaled and fingers hardly able to hold a spanner. I don't suppose he has that trouble with his piano keys.
I don't begrudge or envy his lifestyle at all I think he is a good singer and comes across as a nice man I am just illustrating how many differing paths life holds for people born on the same day and all the twists and turn that lead us to where we are today.
I have a fabulous life and can wander the streets chatting to folk, some I know some I don't. I guess a simple thing like that would be impossible for him. In fact I don't envy anybody in the public eye their wealth and fame they pay a high price for it in personal freedom and of course there's the big thing Can he make good pastry? I doubt he has ever had to try. I might teach him if we ever meet up walking my local beach.
