Life Notes

Ideas thrown up by life.

I rather enjoyed "The Turtle Pond". It has this quaint bit of humor mixed in with this generally heartwarming premise. It leaves you feeling pretty good. And I hope you find your stranger.

The Summer House is really good- I like the metaphor of the ramshackle summer house which is just a 'shed' to Nev but for the narrator (who is forced to live in her imagination) it acquires a romantic aura. Very sinister and underplayed.

Child's Play

My playgroup days, when I originally wrote this, are long behind me. But some things, I suspect, never change...

In search of the mysterious man who saved me from drowning. Why do I need him to save me again?

Put That On The Fire

What was put on the fire that day was more complicated than I knew.

The Headline might vary, between tabloid and broadsheet, the BBC and Channel 5. But this is the story behind it.

In time, Manda managed to forget a great deal. But she would never forget those eyes.

Lucky Thirteen

A totally self indulgent and sentimental 200 words. Today is a special day.
