The Things We Do for Love

Pyser walked along a beach at dawn. He heard the cries of an injured seagull. It was entangled in strips of plastic. The seabird’s left wing seemed broken.

Not too Much to Ask

Some blokes, they dream about free climbing El Capitan, cycling the alps, taking their family to Disney World or Disneyland. Not me.

The DJs Who Turn into Swans

The swan that Anne kept in the spare room was her ex-boyfriend, Marcus. When Darren had the flat to himself, he liked to sit in the room, which had a paddling pool, and chat to her ex.

I don't have much forgiveness

Posted on Tue, 28 Feb 2023

I don't have much forgiveness in me I'm afraid. I feel like those politicians have had every opportunity to educate themselves and they've chosen greed, ignorance and bigotry. Telling people with buggar all to upskill themselves is so offensive...

Nicely done, P and timely. It's a horrendous mess. I read today that over 800 Russian soldiers are dying a day in Ukraine. Horrific.

Hugely evocative and loved some of the descriptions. I really like the line about friends not being steadfast, but you still cherish the memories and the times had. It's struck me that memory does seem more important & richer as we grow older...

Sadly, they do. 

Just seen something slightly different in Brighton. Two men in their fifties taking their rather large remote control cars for a spin along the high street.
