The bicycle is repaired
I shall soon be learning Spanish
And no matter what the weather does
It'll be worth it in the end

This may be rather short
But I'm feeling rather tired
I saw the tide this evening
But there were no boats on the sea

It's late
But not too late
To stand up for your dignity

March on 20 October.

Hello Parson, Are you off to Spain? Enjoyed this and I am enjoying your book but why did you give away copies? Shouldn't you be selling them? I haven't yet made a donation but I will Moya

Hello Moya, Hope you are both well. Got friends in Madrid that I visited for the first time in 8yesrs. I took beginners Spanish after the last visit. About to begin the next grade this week. Not quite on the trail of Orwell and Lorca. Missed the boat a bit. Nice of you to consider a donation. I would be embarrassed to ask for money for them. Kev

Hello Kev, I don't see why you should be embarrassed I was really impressed with the way the book was produced and by the contents I have read so far. I take it this was the one you did on Kindle? And I have just seen the PayPal button. Moya

Hi Moya, the Kindle one was a dry-run. I changed a lot when I produced the paperpack. There are a few things to fix if I do another print (upside down spine, the missing final stanza of 'To hold just once' and a minor typo on p.31). I'll see how this one goes over the next few months. A lesson from the Kindle one is that they don't sell without some kind of publicity (marketing / knowledge of the writer), so this isn't really a commercial exercise. I am always surprised and grateful when anyone actually likes what I have written. Really glad that you like it Moya. Kev
