The Double Whammy of an MI followed by t Unprintable..? 2026 3 31

Believing these past 24 years almost that I got to draw the long straw my brother J the shorter one like our Da before us who regretfully died 1945 8 4 from Leukemia in Canburra OZ en route to the Japanese theatre of War...
My elder brother J junior always for as far as I can remember being diagnosed with a myloma which for most of his soon to be 88 yrs has been in remission.

Getting instead my MI at 62 on 6th April a few days short of 24 yrs ago after my father's male antecedents his dad dying in what i presummed to be a coronary even aged between 50 and 52 when my father was 8 yrs old and famously declared "Now my Mam won't have to buy him any more beer", an Irishman who's own father came from Dublin, an RC presumably, whilst his own mother's father also hailed from the emerald isle, from Clonas in west of County Monaghan, bordering Donegal, an Orangeman for his sins when normally never the twain shall meet. But suffice to say it was my grandfather's widow who later admonished her daughter's first born son, David, that he should never marry a Catholic (little suspecting that she herself had done so herself to her dying regretfulness!?)

...to be concluded later once the sun begins to sel...now i must away for my daily dip in the Baltic -sea...
