Is That All There Is

By Jane Hyphen on Sat, 26 Aug 2023

This is very powerful, Di.

This is very powerful, Di. The word shame is so exposing, the sound of it making you feel, at once ashamed.

'It is revenge', an endless cycle of revenge. We learn it as children but as adults, with no greater powers to intervene, does it...

It sounds like all your cats

Posted on Sat, 28 Oct 2023

It sounds like all your cats are living the good life. I love their names. I have a very fussy cat. Magnus, he has put on weight recently and I know my neighbour feeds him, what I don't know, pate maybe.

An interesting look into the
