Yesterday I performed at a conference in Leicester. The a few days later I received this mail:
“Happy birthday I notice no great write up on your blog about the conference in Loughborough!! Just joking – you share your birthday with my twin nieces. Have a good day
To cheer you up will send you some wonderful Jamaican sayings take yr pick.
‘De older de moon de brighter it shine/De older de clock de faster it wind’– the older you are the wiser your knowledge
‘Betta short a pence than short a sense’ – wisdom should be valued much more than
wealth.
In good old Jamaican tradition a little pessimism can’t hurt.
‘Chicken merry; hawk deh near’ – even when you are feeling your’e happiest, be wary of what might be lurking around the corner.
HAPPY BITHDAY LEMN
