The ice of Boston is muddy – 23rd March 1994

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Hey you – what you looking at!  Took my sweetheart some flowers yesterday and left them at work for her to discover today – romantic old thing that I am!  It was hard to keep the secret but it brought several smiles to my face throughout.

Broni had a bad day yesterday so we got drunk to celebrate, Kerry being our taxi.

Several other minor incidents probably occurred but wrist will hurt if I tell in more detail.  So stop looking in here and get your own life!

I sit there in my easy chair, looking at the clouds, orange with celebration
And I wonder if you’re out there

Graveyard Booze Up – 17th April 1984

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 2 Comments

Digging up bodies, taking back cider
Kicking over crosses, I lay down beside her
Graveyard, graveyard booze up

We tanked her up and she came down
We went to the graveyard instead of around town
Graveyard, graveyard booze up

The skeletons started dancing cos we had too much beer
So we danced with them and forgot about our fear
Graveyard, graveyard booze up

30th May 2023 – If we got to Bournemouth during the afternoon we would grab some lagers and cider and sit around the graveyard next to the car park where Capones was on the top floor. There were often other punks around getting drunk and being generally reckless. It was quiet and secluded so no one really bothered you there. You can see from the picture there was a lot of tree cover and the paths through were really only for folks wishing to attend graves, which didn’t seem to happen very often.
Mary Shelley is buried in this graveyard – something which I just learned this minute! I wouldn’t have known who she was in 1984.
30th Oct 2024 – Shared with Word of the Day Challenge – graveyard
