Time

Still cataloguing and playing through my recently unboxed-from-storage music CD collection. Boomers at least will remember these two famous logos, I took a photo of CD labels and messed about with an image blend app. Not very creatively, but I took no other pic today (afternoon online tutoring and early evening dinner at "My Bar" in Didim with Graham and Kat before all restaurants close next week for Ramadan-Corona lockdown).  

As a child, my parents old gramophone player was His Master's Voice and I remember being fascinated by the woofer looking in the woofer....  

Dark Side of the Moon, 1973 *.  My original 1973 vinyl copy is in UK, the poster that came with it, pristine. My boyfriend and I went to Earls Court to see them perform the album live in May of that year. It was my first such experience, feeling very grown up because he'd just passed his driving test and so drove us there in his Dad's car (and we were able to park within walking distance!!) The entire show was, well, extraordinary.  Some 36,000 people saw this extravaganza of whom I was one :) Such memories. Nearly fifty years ago. What happened?

TIME ( here)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day 
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. 
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town 
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. 
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. 
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. 
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking 
Racing around to come up behind you again. 
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, 
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. 

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. 
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines 
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way 
The time is gone, the song is over, 
Thought I'd something more to say.

Pink Floyd.
Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour
