All That Glitters

I posted this on ABC in July 2014. It make me so sad to have to post it again. Nothing's changed except the TV is now 4K

Hi Ewan

Posted on Tue, 04 Aug 2020

I'm glad you like this and thank you very much appreciate the golden cherries, which I never expected.

Regarding night-lite, I got to thinking nite-lite was under copyright, but it seems many companies use this term, so I will change the...

A very lovely and informative poem

Posted on Sat, 01 Aug 2020

I really admire the way you subtley demonise the arrogance of imperialism and colonialism. It reminded me of the twinge of shame I felt the first time I saw The Gateway to India monument in Mumbai.

However, I think the outstanding gem of...

Yes they were good times (mostly) in Las Palmas. Not the prettiest city but a great place all the same (cockroaches and all). the island of Grand Canaria is very interesting, However, after the move to Lanzarote and visiting some of the other...

You do Vultures proud with this brilliant poem, Rachel

Posted on Fri, 31 Jul 2020

They are magnificent birds and they provide a real service for all animals on Earth including us. We revile them for seaching out and eating dead and rotting flesh, but forget the amount of diseases they prevent by cleaning discarded carcasses....

I can't tolerate intolerance!

Posted on Sun, 14 Jun 2020

When a group of perfectly normal people are sytematically treated as different outsiders you have to expect a reaction because perfectly normal people will always feel the need to protect themselves and each other.Those reactions -- even extreme...

Morning Nicky

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2020

I always have to smile when I see our resident magpies belittling the neighbour's mog.

She doesn't stand a chance, those yobbish birds are too clever for her. 

Glad you liked my strepped dolphin. Thanks for reading about my mobsters...

I like the sound of cicadas as long as I'm not too near one.

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2020

Clever the way you have paralled our lives with that of cicadas, luckily we don't have to spend 17 years underground like some of them do, but as you say, in a way we do bury ourselves in our lives and work for years and sometimes things happen...

Very clever poem Ewan

Posted on Mon, 08 Jun 2020

It is surprising and comforting in the way nature so quickly re-takes it's space. Reading this reminded me of the time not so long ago when Eyjafjallajökull erupted and we had aircraft free skies for a few days. I recall sitting in the garden and...

Like Claudine I found this very interesting.

Posted on Sun, 07 Jun 2020

I didn't read much science fiction although I know I should read more.

One writer that sticks out for me is Ursula Le Guin. Sure she is so-call white, but I believe she frequently used dark-skinned 'heros' in her books and very definitely...
