Hoping

Posted on Sat, 20 Jun 2026

Hello Jenny.

I’m sorry I drifted away for a while so I’ve only just read this, and your two previous posts On This Peaceful Day and Torment.  Two poems, one of beauty and one of great courage, just as your writing has always been in the...

Complete shits I have known and loved

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2026

Thanks AF. I’m glad I cheered you up and your last sentence made me laugh as I had thought you were going to say what a grand lad Geldof was.

In the early eighties I went to see John Lee Hooker at Hammersmith Odeon. There were some Irish...

Taking corners

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2026

Thank you Kat. Since birth I’ve modelled myself on Frank Carson.

Going solar

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2026

Thank you IPFN for your words and cherries. It’s nice to be posting again.

Tricky

Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2026

You're right Kat, it's a very tricky one. I think the policy depends upon the personality of the person we're dealing with. And it's not always at a stage in a long term relationship that such things happen. Something unsaid could even prevent...

Vet fees

Posted on Thu, 07 May 2026

Hello Jane.

The vets at the local animal clinic have become so aware of how much time Ludo spends with them they give us a discount. Some appointments are even free of charge. We think that they think that if it gets too costly we might...

Positivity

Posted on Tue, 05 May 2026

But there are still good things and good people around us. We must cling on to them and make the most of what we have. That's my daily mantra which sort of helps, at least until I turn on my computer.

Tomorrow Never Knows

Posted on Tue, 05 May 2026

You've mirrored the thoughts that bang around in my head whenever I see my lovely tiny grandchildren and wonder what this planet will be like when they are as old as I am now. I hope it will be a happier world by then but I wouldn't put money on...

I almost missed the Mist of Time

Posted on Sun, 26 Apr 2026

Lovely words Jenny. The golden cherries and the wee green book are well deserved.

I’m sorry I’ve only just seen this but I’m glad you’ve been able to find the strength and inspiration to write. It’s amazing what silent moments in...
