In the movies, the people who are writers only ever drink coffee and write. I could do that. They never have to work in their garden or take their cat to the vet or go shopping in Kaufland.

How inconsiderate of Saint Etienne!
I could compile quite a list of gigs I've missed because of kids' birthdays, people's anniversaries, falling off my bike and breaking my ribs, Diana's funeral and, more recently, the Covid virus. But I...

Good morning!
This looks like a great playlist. Some tracks and artists I know, but many I don't, and wherever David Bowie, who I have loved for fifty years, appears I'm always keen to listen.
I'll give them all a whirl on Spotify...

Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021
I've a sneaking suspicion that the drug companies' desire to swell their piggy banks might be a significant factor to consider as the virus mutates into a business.

An excellent reminder of how little respect we have for these miracles of nature that will (or at least should) outlive us.

Oh, and congratulations on your golden cherries.

It saddens me deeply to think that people's lives that have been filled with terror should end in this way.
I enjoyed (if enjoyed is the right word) your account of what might happen in such circumstances. It's a difficult subject to...

Posted on Tue, 07 Dec 2021
A long time ago I worked on ships and was often rebuked for my lack of respect for nautical terms. I found it quite ridiculous that these ships each had a poop deck and I made childish remarks about what might go on there until one day, in a...

Trees are the lungs of our planet and consequently very precious to us.
I really like the respect you show for them in your poem. It's what they deserve.
