My Night Nurse ~ Gregory Isaacs

           My nephew Tanveer, five years and change, has a lot of tendencies that remind me a lot of myself. Naturally, he is the source of lots of joy in my family. Kids are the energizer bunnies in lots of peoples worlds today and Veer is no exception. Whenever there's a birthday in the family this undisputed cake cutter somehow expects Bouncy Castle, presents and a Pinata no matter who's birthday it is. Just like his favourite aunty, Hunny has grown fond of his Aunty Kams so much so he wonders what she is doing when she is on call seeing the ICU babies at nine pm at night. While attempting to explain why she does this yet never comes home with any babies, Veer now calls her my "Night Nurse." I don't think that was the intended interpretation of the song but oh well.
          If you've ever partied with anyone as cool as my dad and have been introduced to or know about Rockers music then cheers to you mate! Rockers is a form of Reggae music started in the 1970's as reggae versions of well known love songs and made mainstream by the likes of Gregory Isaacs and Eddie Lovette among others. Unfortunately, its popularity has dwindled with changing tastes in music but thankfully some of the most  popular tracks can be found on Youtube if you know what to look for. This is a great way to pass the time if you bored at home because of the pandemic.
           Now some other activities you can do may skim the intended meaning of the entitled phrase, if you know what i mean, but we'll keep this popcorn friendly. Notwithstanding our limited experience in marriage so far, things such as massaging your loved ones feet after a long day at work, or a back rub when it hurts go a long way in showing that little bit of extra love and attention. Rubbing the knees, especially when you get that feeling that rain is going to fall is more predictive of the weather these days than some meteorologists track records locally. It really are the small things that count!

  1. Totally agree! Kids are so much fun...like the icing on cake. "Night Nurse"! Very curious as any little being.
    I love rockers music, definitely puts you in the real vibezing mood. Almost like you are at the beach sipping on a nice mojito :)

  2. Knees can definitely predict rainfall. And it doesn't mean you are old. I resent that statement!
