Ras Gombo
Posted on Thu, 27 Feb 2025
Unfortunately I never went to Ras Gombo. I just sailed past it in the night... three times actually during the course of my seafaring days. Those waters around the Horn of Africa are a dangerous place to be now. I doubt if I'd be falling into a...

Roberta Flack
Posted on Tue, 25 Feb 2025
That's a wonderful song.
Her other huge hit 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', written by Salford's Ewan MacColl, is a very moving piece to read as poetry even without the music and Roberta's beautiful voice.

Without moons

Gustav Holst in written word. Lovely lines of great mysteriousness.
I smiled at the concept of Top Tweet Tuesday. It gives the impression that Elon Musk has a fluffy side to him. I tend to forget about Mr Blue Sky. I'll go and have a look...

I get this Jenny.
Roberta Flack's passing a few days ago brought heaviness to my heart as another morsel of reality morphed into mere nostalgia.

Bullied bullies
Posted on Sat, 22 Feb 2025
From my experience it seems that the bullied often go on to be bullies themselves. A real 'vicious' circle. Maintaining constant awareness of the problem's potential is probably the best approach.
An interesting read Jane.

The phone and the IPA
Posted on Sat, 22 Feb 2025
Your woman with the phone and the IPA is much more a hero than the likes of Robbie Williams or David Beckham have ever been. How many people's heroes are true heroes? How many truly brave people have gone unrecognised?
This is a wonderful...

A nice bit of rhyme that really made me smile.
Good luck, especially with the prune soup.

School
Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025
Hello Jenny.
Foxwood School had been only for boys when it opened in the late 1950s but the year group I was in was the last before they opened it up to girls. So there were always girls around but not in my year. When I reached the sixth...

Thank you for the days
Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025
There was a day for almost everything during school days. I think you've covered most of them in your poem which I enjoyed reading.
I must admit that my favourite day was leaving day.
