Papa was a soothsayer.

Posted on Sat, 06 Apr 2024

Aren't all fathers soothsayers with the words 'told you so' poised on the tips of their tongues even if they hadn't told us so? I think my kids might say I'm guilty of that myself. 

An entertaining look at the Gilded Cage. Nice one Jenny...

Oh no P4AT. I wasn't picking you up on your writing.

I really like your final

Posted on Wed, 20 Mar 2024

I really like your final verse.

There's a big moon in the sky tonight (it was full last night) and we've a large patch of bamboo growing in our garden. I'm going out to have a look. If I come back with a neonate it's all your fault.

Pubs, music, football, Asian caffs, people's attitudes..

Posted on Fri, 15 Mar 2024

Pubs, music, football, Asian restaurants (which were never called restaurants in my day), people's attitudes to life, a notable absence of world wars and the planet itself which I've wandered about feeling quite safe... I've thoroughly enjoyed...

Posted on Mon, 11 Mar 2024

I always enjoy the way you write about the nature around us Jenny. You see things that I don't... until you point them out to us.

A lovely poem.
