Another couple of songs

Leonard Cohen, another great songwriter and poet

A family celebration and some music.


 Busy Saturday, my daughters 30th birthday, at times like this I feel so old.  We went out for a family meal, daughters who live far away, grandchildren, cousins and their children, friends and even a couple of babies. People and their dogs staying over, there was general mayhem, nice mayhem but exhausting. And then they were gone and I cleared away the debris left behind. Stayed up quite late because I started watching what turned out to be a terribly sad drama about Mo Moland, the politician who did most of the ground work that led to lasting peace in Northern Ireland. Mo was a very  sick woman, in part of the drama she is seen dancing around her living room in nightdress and slippers to this song, not this specific version of this song, but I’ve always liked Leonard Cohen so this is the version I chose. I’ve never really listened to this before, I quite like it. Seems like a nice way to end my hectic Saturday night ( Sunday Morning).
