Children of the Absolution
A recollection of thoughts I had during my childhood in the 1960s. I intended writing them down long before now but I was always terrified to death at the thought of the potential consequences.

Pick of the Dream Pops
Posted on Thu, 08 May 2025
It must be very difficult for any musical performers from Mullingar to succeed, living as they do in the shadow of the immortal Joe Dolan. So fair play to the Gone Forevers. I'm glad their lyrics are in Swedish. I wish Abba could have done the...

Marillion
Posted on Wed, 07 May 2025
Oooh, thanks very much indeed Jenny. Your comment is almost as long as my post.
When I worked in Bristol there was a colleague who had previously been a roadie for Marillion and, as a consequence, Marillion agreed to be the live band at...

Ah now, I'm delighted by this news. I've been confined to the house most of the day by a huge thunderstorm so this has fair cheered me up.
Many thanks to you, your cat and your blackbird.

Bravo!

Very well done Jane. Fingers crossed here for the book. Unlike IPFN, I do have a hat to eat if it doesn't get published but hats tend to give me indigestion, especially sombreros.
And it will get published anyway.

We never know what characters hide behind those scary faces. Better safe than sorry, every time for children and adults.
When I was nine and living in York, a lorry driver stopped and offered me a lift. I often think back and wonder what...

Scary stuff
Posted on Fri, 25 Apr 2025
Such a shame that a lovely adventure should go so horribly wrong. You did right to run away as it could have gone even more horribly wrong. A story of two extremes, and quite disturbing as we never know what is out there. We live in a scary world...

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...
