I love the idea of this

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020

I love the idea of this conversation.  I think I would be apprehensive of what any creature would have to say to me about our stewardship of the planet.  You describe the bee fly so cleverly as well.  I don't think I've ever seen one, but then, I...

I hope we will all learn from this, as you say, and go on to work together to build a better world.  Also hope that you and yours are, and continue to be, well.

Wonderful poem, Di, and your

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020

Wonderful poem, Di, and your ending is so uplifting.  The tarmac eel is a brilliant image.  I shall think of that whenever I'm next walking along the main road into town.

I'm loving Tina's messages.  Glad my mog isn't the only one who...

I actually don't respond to

Posted on Wed, 25 Mar 2020

I don't really respond to much on social media, unless it's from people I actually know, mainly because I can't be arsed, and also because I feel it's a clumsy way to have a good discussion.  So I come on here, where I'm amongst friends, and...

I don't have anything against

Posted on Wed, 25 Mar 2020

I don't have anything against the individuals in the royal family - like you, I rather pity them.  In any other situation, if you told a child from the moment he or she was born that they could only do one thing when they grew up, whatever their...

I think you may have a point

Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2020

I think you may have a point here.  I can imagine all those tech-savvy kids, in school or at home, bored out of their minds and devising all sorts of things on their computers that their elders will never understand.  The world may be a very...

There's a lot of all that

Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2020

There's a lot of all that going around.  I do hope your friend's friend will be well.  As you say, let's hope we have some sort of normality back by this time next year!

At last - something sensible

Posted on Sun, 22 Mar 2020

At last - something sensible about Mother's Day!  It's always an ambivalent relationship.  Philip Larkin was completely right, but sometimes you learn to forgive your own and hope your kids will do the same for you.  I love the all-encompassing...

Sorry, I've got something in

Posted on Sun, 22 Mar 2020

Sorry, I've got something in my eye.  Absolutely beautiful.  Captures the sadness of the moment and a hope for the future.  I do hope your friend will be well.

Posted on Sat, 21 Mar 2020

Thank you!  My mog is a very cuddlesome creature, which is quite handy for social distancing, as I am usually covered with cat hair and no-one wants to get near me anyway.

Thanks again for reading!
