Extreme weather can provide us with scary moments like the ones you had - I'm glad you survived them all and I agree, sunglasses in the glove box would be a good thing to have.

I love seeing fireflies and enjoyed your poem about the magic they make us feel, just by turning on their light.

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2024

Yes, I too bought 'word for life' and have had it transferred over to a new laptop - it does get quirky now and again and once I had to ask microsoft to help update it, but that was several years ago. I hope you have luck with your call to...

Posted on Sun, 15 Sep 2024

I’ve always thought those old nursery rhymes were dark and not meant for children. Mother Goose and Grimms Fairytales were not warm and cuddly to me. You've captured that darkness in your ‘where are they now’ poetic parody of Hey Diddle Diddle. I...

This was very enlightening. I'm sure the true number of people with autism is not fully understood but having a knowledge of what Autism is and isn’t is important in diagnosing it and to avoid a misdiagnosis. Thank you for posting this valuable...

So much of what you’ve said

Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2024

So much of what you’ve said here is true for many- the politics in a work place is universal and sadly the bullies do rise to the top of the heap. I enjoyed reading this chapter and agree with Di-hard - this will be a very good book when you...

Posted on Wed, 28 Aug 2024

No one like Armstrong and Ella now - I agree with you Luigi. I love listening to 'What a Wonderful World' and I've heard 'World on a String' by Ella and by Sinatra, both different takes and both magical. There was a recent story on 'Sunday...

Posted on Fri, 30 Aug 2024

I feel like I've entered a puzzle of scrambled letters, ending with an intriguing omega sign ...hmmm are the lines in code? Is the essence of the poem about letters we haven’t written, or the meaning in letters we have? You’ve stumped me Ewan,...
