What a Waist
Eating food is a reason to be cheerful, and the pleasure I get from it is something I’ve attempted to celebrate here in the style of Ian Dury and The Blockheads. If you know their work you could perhaps sing along with my words.

Posted on Sat, 21 Sep 2024
A couple of times in our garden, after a summer evening rainshower, I've seen small frogs that have swallowed fireflies. I only know this because I've seen the dull flashing from inside their throats.
This is a lovely poem Jenny. I really...

Back in the days when I was the sort of person who left the house each morning to earn a shilling as a domiciliary chiropodist, I took comfort from the fact that there’d never be a computer programme or robot capable of taking my job. And cracked...
