Maybe the dogs are interested in the "Claws of cats of unsound mind" . Or maybe wondering at the waste of so many potentional dog newspaper stands (trees much better than lamp posts as more absorbant) The Christmas tree frenzy does seem to...

Posted on Sun, 07 Jan 2018
I know it is horrid and stressful when you have to keep adding it up as you go, and putting stuff back, but so long as you have enough money food shopping is such fun? Go vegan, then you won't feel guilty about meat. Shopping in the evening,...

Posted on Mon, 03 Jul 2017
This has the feel of walking, a bit of a struggle. How have you done that? And then the last line I can feel that you have stopped. Is it the long sound of the vowels in "towers" "view" "far" "wide" gives the sense of space? Treating words like...

Posted on Mon, 25 Feb 2013
Where you jolt from boring black and white of papers at meetings to the black and white of badgers, and then sheer off into emotion and thinking about what it left behind, is powerful. Even as you are longing to get back to your own life as...
