Ah, there you are, long time no see
High rubbing elbows, and smiles of glee
I feel so good
I knew I would
Back together again, and drinks by the sea
Back Together Again
Ah, there you are, long time no see
High rubbing elbows, and smiles of glee
I feel so good
I knew I would
Back together again, and drinks by the sea
Back Together Again
It’s been a long time, but the doors are open
Here happy faces, showing smiley emotion
I pick and choose
No time to lose
The sun shines bright, and the day is golden

Birthdays come, but once a year
Time for wishes, and happy cheer
Raise a glass
Have a laugh
Thank you all, I love you dear!
Evening comes silently, so warm and true
Crepuscular light spreads, in shades of blue
Bring on the night
As light takes flight
A new day is coming, and there’s much to do
It was definitely time to turn the page, I thought, as I stepped into Book Deals on Lower George’s Street, Dun Laoghaire. Like so many shops that seemed to have been closed forever it was a real treat to once again browse, shuffle about and enjoy a familiar experience. The owner, Dave Cassidy, and known as ‘The Librarian’ for his encyclopaedic knowledge of books, was busy, but made time for a quick chat with shoppers. The shop is full of new books, and if you are looking for a deal – 3 books for €10 – then you’ve found a new home. I actually overheard someone say ‘The place is cheaper than Amazon,’ and that’s about as good as it gets!

I’m on the water, only place to be
With canvas flapping, a sight to see
‘Neath an azure sky
Small clouds float by
Oh what a thrill, to again feel free
Sail on…

A time of darkness, is almost done
For you and me, and everyone
The days grow longer
We’re getting stronger
And into the light, we gladly run
