  • Love, Love, Love.

    I am guessing I have gone for the most popular answer, love ! However, I do not mean love for any one person, although it does include that. I mean love as a concept love for people, love for animals, love for plants, love for the earth, love for the universe. Love is part of Read more

  • The first thing one thinks about when the word goal is mentioned is lots of football fans jumping up and down cheering. This kind of goal is just a fleeting moment in time. My goal is to touch people with my poetry and comic verse. I have done it in isolated occasion’s, made one or Read more

  • Planning, What Planning!

    Whenever I leave the house, I always leave the toilet seat up, in case I have an emergency when I get back! I always keep some spare dark, in a box in case the lights won’t go off. In case the water goes off I keep a ten litre drum to fill up from the Read more

  • What Are Words Worth?

    For word aficionados like myself, “Kool” was used by early jazz musicians, a lot of whom couldn’t spell, so “Cool” was misspelled “Kool”. It’s a few years ago now, we stopped watching a certain TV magazine show. The show used to be sometimes interesting, with some science and nature content, it gradually became almost totally Read more

  • A Stark Comparison.

    I would like to take this opportunity to draw a comparison. A comparison between a professional football player, that has the skill to kick a ball up and down a field, one who often exhibits aggression, is vastly overpaid and worshiped. To a fireman, firewoman, surgeon, or nurse. These people save lives nearly everyday, are Read more

  • Bard from the Shop.

    Rambling warning!!! There are now very few shops that cater for my hobby of building model cars, but to open such a shop would be tantamount to suicide, there just isn’t enough demand, most people now are not not interested in practical skills, it’s all instant gratification, and virtual reality, so no it wouldn’t be Read more

  • Nightmare avenue

    I’m not naive enough to think I could spin the world on its axis, and allow people to live as they should, in peace, and at peace with the natural world (See How I avoided a cliche there!) But, I would like to be a part of the machine that makes it happen, that is Read more

  • I’m a pensioner I don’t do expensive! Ok so I’ve had a bit of fun with this, with not much time to do it in. Been to hospital, came back home a bit low, so a bit of self therapy was called for. Actually finances are not quite as bad as I make out we Read more

  • 30 !!!! thing that make me happy? Mm My son, the sun, a smile from anyone, anyone’s love, the sky up above. My lady, a new baby, a better tomorrow well maybe. Fresh rain, no pain, a walk down memory lane. A smile from my wife, green shoots of life, a sign of the end Read more

  • How Many Cats?

    I’m curious about what people are curious about, are they curious about me, are they curious about themselves, or are they curious, about who’s curious about them. With all this curiosity about it’s a wonder there are any cats left. Seriously, I’m most curious about the way people think, or don’t think. What drives people Read more
