Still such a difficult and complex situation in the Middle East. Alfred's angst will be shared by so many.

Does it rain more in Ireland?
We've all chased rainbows at some point. I'm sure Alfred will find his pot of gold one day. We want to read his novels.

Vanessa entering her daughter
Posted on Wed, 25 Sep 2024
Vanessa entering her daughter's bedroom resonated with me. I wandered about like a lost lamb in a similar fashion when my little girl went to Uni. I like the half-hearted attempt to make the room look neater.
