  • Do You Remember, That Little Word Please ?

    Sometimes I think I live in a country of parrots and apes. Now over to the Judge of all that’s crass, banal and inane “The winner is “Can I get…..”It doesn’t really surprise me that much to hear younger people saying it, their minds alas often still quite malleable, but to hear older people saying… Read more

  • Sit Down My Love.

    This is a strange one, it sort of came to me as if I was talking to myself, then I realised it’s what my wife would say if she expressed herself in as wordy way as I. I have had three close encounters with the holder of the scythe. our motorhome once overturned on the… Read more

  • Fig Leaves.

    These prompts are getting worse, “What’s the best thing about minimalist living?” I’m not a minimalist, I like to surround myself with familiar items. With the exponential rate of change nowadays I need that anchor. So I’ve just had a bit of fun. FIG LEAVES No ornaments in my house, not even a vaseI try… Read more

  • An Enigma.

    As in the song by Perry Como, It’s just impossible. One just is not allowed to live the kind of life I would want to live, unless you are wealthy of course, and if you are wealthy you wouldn’t want to live the kind of life I would want to live. It’s a funny old… Read more

  • Hands.

    I was gifted with hands that could create many wonderful things, and I’ve had a very productive life. Day to day, my most creative period is in the mornings, I flag in the afternoon.

  • Write Me a Letter.

    Not really a new thing, just a reminder I’M NO GOOD WITH TECH. I wanted to send an e-mail to our local radio station about my new book I got myself into a proper tangle. I also got myself into tangle with my posts, so you will just have to manage with something that doesn’t… Read more

  • Worthy or Unworthy.

    I don’t consider myself, clever enough, skilled enough or lucky enough (As is the case with most autobiographers) for me to think people would want to read about me. The first line then maybe should read “If you are reading this, get a life”. I would much sooner write about others, mostly bringing to light… Read more

  • Necromantic Romance.

    I remember as clear as day, the day after my all clear from cancer saying to my wife I’m going on a journey. The journey was to be one of learning, learning what life was really, not “Really about”. I don’t believe it is about anything, it just IS. But there is a truth an… Read more

  • The Law of the Jungle.

    I feel I must apologise my posts have been quite sombre recently. My intention today was for a a bit more of my nonsense, and I did try, honest! I planned and actually started writing about rescinding the law of gravity. Some how though it didn’t work out and the demise of our world won… Read more
