Subject"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mavis&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your kind email and yes I am recovering from the virus that I caught in Dover&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like all men it was more than it actually was and this was made worse by my mother and later Josie fussing around me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie as she knew I might get bored popped into the local bookshop and purchased two books&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A biography of Sassoon and an account of the Soldier Poets&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the hot spell and being an idiot Josie and I walked across the fields of our childhood&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love this time of year May into June as everything is so new and the colours are so intense<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perfumes of the day were just a joy and I felt my imported illness fading&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was listening to the wireless in the evening whist Josie and Mummy played Scrabble&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along came the BBC News which&nbsp;although very biased at times noted that the Israeli Prime Minister had praised the songbird Eden Golan for her performance at the Eurovision Song Contest noting that she had brought honour and strength to Israel&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High praise indeed and I totally agreed with him&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This set me thinking and I wondered if the UK has progressed from the normal zero points and had won the fucking thing would the PM have shared the same sentiments with the foul creature who represented the UK &#8211; knowing him he might have done so as well as Kiera Starbucks just so they look in touch&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then thought about the soldier poets of both wars &#8211; being a poet myself it is a subject that interests me greatly as broadly it illustrates how we as a country have decayed over the years&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there was a war tomorrow how would we react&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would the brave young men of the shires enlist in their droves&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This said I cannot see any serious wars ahead as we whether we like it or not are in a Pax Britannica position with global policeman in place&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long may it last&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have always been global squabbles between the natives but nothing like the two world wars&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are too many good men in place&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe naive but just think about it as it has mileage&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going back any war would not be in the trenches rather like the charges on horseback were outdated by 1914&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be a totally different scenario&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet I wonder how many would actually volunteer as the young&nbsp;people have done in Israel (conscription noted) &#8211; are we as patriotic as we once were&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some might say yes but I would disagree as this country has been infected because of immigration (that is quite obvious) and we have let our morals slip violently which has had a drastic effect on the country&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extreme seems the norm now&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perverts in dresses and the like&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children are taught about corrupt practices in schools ( no wonder that they self mutilate or are poisoned by cranks)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mummy has a couple of gay guys living near her who are married which I consider wrong even though they are perfectly decent chaps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have also adopted which makes (although I hid it for Mummy&#8217;s sake) me very cross &#8211; there is just something wrong with the whole idea and it does not appear in the Bible or anywhere else<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My father who was a High Church Christian would have hated the idea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many and I have had many discussions about this have called me a hypocrite as I have been in a sexual relationship with Josie for many years which we do not hide&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie also has relationships with other women (her passions) which I find quite normal but she does not fuck other men&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is something that she has decided and under no stress from me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie is enough for me as I feel incredibly comfortable around her&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am very attracted to other women but that is a far as it goes as anything else I feel would be a betrayal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thing that amuses me is that technically Josie and I are breaking the law and we could be imprisoned although it does not mention identical twins&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie and I were invited to a girl girl wedding last year an invitation which we happily accepted as I have no problem with this&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were Josie&#8217;s friends and she was very happy with their union&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go back a couple of years when we both stayed in a hotel in Manchester <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wedding was taking place&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference was that it was between two men which I found disgusting as it made me feel nauseous<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie dragged me off to the cinema and I saw my first and last Harry Potter movie&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have said this many times but men and women are different very different and therefore different rules apply (and do not get me started on the gender stuff)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are only two genders fact&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest is a madness&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joke is that if you were inclined you might care to report Joe and Josie to the cops as we are active sexually <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we would then be in shit street up to our necks&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would be separated and this would cause stress and suffering to both parties and obviously to my dear mother who is only now coming to terms with the loss of my father<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely nothing would be gained&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the idiocy of the law we would be prosecuted <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I doubt that we would be imprisoned unless I shared&nbsp;my opinions&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Josie although she lives with me is an active bi-girl which would complicate things&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But why am I having this conversation&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will not happen <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will not let it happen&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in theory we are breaking the law&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can see why there are incest laws most of which I agree with but between two consenting sibling adults think about it&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A chap can go around fucking any anus he finds and even though it is obviously bestial and spreads disease it is also quite legal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed it is celebrated in many towns and cities&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is considered normal when it is far from normal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One can marry their male partner and even adopt some poor brat&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a massive absurdity to the whole thing&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the decay I often chat about in my writings&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That and other subjects which I will not mention&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&nbsp;am thinking that Josie and I might get married in a church (after all our father was a vicar) and maybe adopt as we cannot have children together for obvious reasons&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like fuck we will&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe has already been locked up once and does not fancy another visit&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough on this subject as it irritates me greatly\u00a0&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I end by mentioning my soldier book as it illustrates one thing clearly as most of these soldiers (not all) died at a very young age&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As did millions of others on all sides&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We remember these brave men as they were poets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;But there were so many that died with little or no memory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Apart from their names fading on a war memorial somewhere&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It makes me very sad to see the white gravestones in many churchyards&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our history is often questioned by traitors which is incredibly sad&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One has only to look back a few generations to see how it used to be&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order of things <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History does go in circles&nbsp;though<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the guilty will be charged&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need I say more<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I trust you enjoyed this one sided chat&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the mend I hope (Man Flu) but roses (Josie&#8217;s favourite) would be nice&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly whilst I was writing this Postman Pat (why do they always wear shorts even in Captain Scott conditions) came to the door with a letter for Josie from Cora&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that I looked well&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I noted that I looked pail&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And was ready to kick the bucket&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joke went over his head&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But professionally you might be able to assess me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good Luck&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie sends her love&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As do I&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mavis&nbsp; Thank you for your kind email and yes I am
