Hello from purplehaze

Well, I come crawling back and find that Jude's brain has been bleeding but the angels being on her side and all, she's still here so that's great, and slightly lessened the shock of all the changes on the site and from the Universe in general, which is overwhelming me, but as my brain has chosen not to bleed so far, I suppose I'm really in good shape.

I've really missed writing though and want to get back to it and to stop reading things other than self help books.

Was I away that long? Is the baby here yet?

The site seems a lot faster right enough.

From There To Here by Tom Saunders

"In Los Angles old England has always glistened green and grey in the imagination. There is pleasure to be had here, I'm primed to enjoy the low sky, the soupy smell of rot in the air."

Makes a change to find an American writing about rural England in such an original way.
I really enjoyed this story of revisiting lost love, its sad but not maudlin tone and avoidance of cliche.
