This really got into my head
Posted on Tue, 17 May 2022
This really got into my head Rhiannon. As I read, I could really imagine lying there, confined but still living through all the sounds from the open window. Reminded me of being a small child and sent to bed in summer when I wasn't at all sleepy...

Posted on Fri, 13 May 2022
I enjoyed this, you've set things out very clearly like a great teacher. I decided not to read or write for the past few days because I felt overwhelmed and the earth's spinning made me feel sick and dizzy but reading this has reset my spinacles...

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

Making me feel a bit queasy, unwashed men, meatballs and sleazy hook-up apps, perhaps I'm just a bit delicate. That Dave is a bit of a freeloader. Uggly Puggly's random release back into the community sounds typical of the random and inconsistent...

Posted on Sat, 23 Apr 2022
'the pumpkin with bad hair', that's a common look since Donald Trump made fake tan mainstream. I also really enjoyed the pub scene, a thing of the past now. And the enduring school bully, acting like a respectable member of the community, shifty...
