In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

After months of flashing random Huisman wagons I got to meet the man himself. This is Joker XL of the MoBlog website.A trucker who is also on the funny lane of the internet super highway. I only called in to get a picture of the crappy showers at Hilton Park Northbound and there he was parked up with his name plate in full view.

Pay £20 for a crap service - it does my swede in .

Marty looking at me thinking 'why is that fat bloke pointing his phone at me?did'nt I just see him walking out of the mens showers with that bloody phone aswell?' .

I had a drop at a convent school,delivering a wind turbine.The school was a proper convent school with nuns and - check this out a display cabinet with goodies from all over the world.For me it was fantastic,full to the brim with the most random stuff from all over and across the ages.The camera was interdit .Take it from me it was great.The turbine looked pretty cool aswell,would love to go back and see what it looks like working.

Chatham docks at the start of the week,and a chance to see the big sea lock working as the ABILITY went back out to see.It used to be called the STABILITY but the S and the T had been painted over.Come on VOSA now the ships are even avoiding speed cameras.No I dont know why the name had been painted over,could be that it was'nt so stable?

Then off to the big paper mill and drop off some paper,they are in the middle of a big redevelopment and its a pig to get down to.

I needed to get a new front tyre fitted at Yeovil this week.There was a problem with the one I had on,£250 for a new one.You dont need many of those to run your profit into the ground.I could'nt work out what had gone wrong with the old one.
