More Elaines
Elaine and I barely spoke to each other but memories of this gruff, no-nonsense woman have stayed with me for fifty years.

Petty cash
Posted on Thu, 17 Apr 2025
The money I gave to Kavinda was approximately one tenth of my weekly wage at the time, so not much at all to me but a fortune to him.
I've written part three but it's too big to fit within the parameters of an ABC post so I've split it and...

Ships
Posted on Wed, 16 Apr 2025
Thank you very much Jenny.
I think hardship enriches our lives more than riches do, though probably not for Sri Lankans as so many of them have known only hardship.
I worked for the shipping company just short of three years which...

Wish!

I wish I knew what happens next.
It's nice to see you starting a new story and to be in on it from the beginning. Good luck with it.

Even older than me

It absolutely amazes me how a living organism can survive so long. Imagine the things it has lived through. I wouldn't want to be an oak tree myself though.
Lovely poem Jenny.

Yeats and Villa
Posted on Wed, 09 Apr 2025
Thanks for that Paul. I pick up the Yeats book from time to time but I'd be fibbing if I said I'd read it from cover to cover. Days with absolutely nothing at all to do are perfect for such literary adventures.
On a totally different...

A gripping end to the first instalment. I feel this is going to be an altogether gripping tale.

I must confess that I've only started reading Willow's Missing Tail quite recently. I'm enjoying the read but a bit lost at times (most times) so I can see that I need to go the very beginning and start from scratch. Don't wait for me though....

Walking free
Posted on Thu, 03 Apr 2025
It's nice to think that humans could walk as free as the untamed creatures. It takes a lot of bottle for us to turn our backs on the superficial trappings that deter us from it while for many there is no choice.
Strong words to describe a...

Kirschkuchen
Posted on Mon, 31 Mar 2025
A few years back I was at the Olympiastadion where Hertha play. It's a fascinating place to visit even for those weirdos who don't like football as it oozes history and style. At first glance it looks like one of those modern all-concrete...
