Oh for some quiet! Let’s keep it brief after this week of odd neighbour behaviour, and perhaps be lucky enough to find time to sit by a fire or under a tree with a friend/loved one to share a glass of fine dark beer?
Friendship? Sharing? Kindness? Yeah, this sounds good – maybe celebrate impending St. Patrick’s Day if you’re so inclined…
Being of Irish descent, and therefore completely unbiased, I’d say my trips to the Emerald Isle and friendships through the years with Celtic folk reminds me there are great people (not just Celts!) to be found all over. Our southern neighbours will sort themselves out. With that in mind, I’ll raise a glass in hope the pendulum will swing back towards kindness, to hearing quiet words and constructive dialogue, and actions requiring helping hands rather than clenched fists…

And, after a Guinness, I’ll remember there are plenty of other excellent dark beers to explore and share (no, perhaps not all in one sitting!)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
There’s too much blabber and smoke, madness and sadness down here below the international border to possibly hope for friendlier, quieter times amidst my odd-duck neighbors within the next four years, but I’ll raise my bottle of Guinness Extra Stout to you in cheers for suggesting how it’s done!

Yeah, sadness at the madness from up here – hoping for calmer heads, eventually…
Cheers!

Yeah, that neighbour! Oh well…
Yup, kindness is the way, you’re quite right – but I wonder if he knows the meaning of the word?
Take care – on a happier note, spring is imminent!

Haha, yes – although I suspect the would be king has no idea how to treat neighbours with kindness, given his history…
More happily – almost spring! Enjoy your week!
