Nihil Impossibile Erit Vobis

Streets of Stoke Newington
Possibly the most tenuous link ever to a weekly inspirational point (this week it’s toast) and a fond recollection of happy times in the mid-1980s living with ‘her indoors’ in a North London oasis of social harmony.

The Archers in Cyrillic Script
The events of February 2025 (the second part) in my neck of the area of land, smaller than a forest, that is covered with growing trees, described using my usual one hundred words per day method.

Conversion
Posted on Mon, 05 Jan 2026
The new Bulgarian euro coin looks almost identical to the old leva coin but it's worth twice as much. When I tell friends from outside Bulgaria, their brains whirr a bit and then they suggest to me that I've suddenly become rich. The good thing...

Super, smashin', great!

Super, smashin', great! as JIm Bowen would have said had he been an ABCTales member. And perhaps he was, but before our time.
Also, thank you very much indeed. I'm delighted and honoured to be the subject of your verse, which I reckon is ...

Poor Euro!
Posted on Mon, 05 Jan 2026
Aye, poor Ludo! I hope the pain in his leg isn’t as painful as the pain in the arse that he’s turning out to be. It’s a good job he’s a lovely cat. Even on the days that we’re at the vets’ without him they all ask how he’s getting on.

Ludo and Lennon
Posted on Mon, 05 Jan 2026
Other musicians have died and I’ve felt very sad but the way in which John Lennon died really shook me. The next nearest tragedy for me was Kirsty MacColl who was cut to bits by the propeller of a rich Mexican’s motorboat. These days my...

Comatose
Posted on Sat, 03 Jan 2026
Only the best fairy tales have the word ‘comatose’ in them. Where fine rhyme and rhythm and humour meet you brought a smile to my face throughout.
I suspect that the last line a-hunting off he goes might be a medieval poetic...

Enjoyed!

I enjoyed this Jane.
Totem was a simpleton and that’s what made him good... something I've observed amongst our cats and which divides them into two groups.
I also liked blood temperature. I'll remember that for...

PS I'm delighted that I got the final pick of he day of the year. It's a bit like having the Christmas No 1. You can call me Noddy from now on.

Ooooh! I’m very impressed!
Ee chestita Nova Godina na teb ee semee-eestvoto tee. (And Happy New Year to you and your family).
