Rattle

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 09 May 2023

Am I a Snob?

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 24 Apr 2023

My Eyes.....

By Jane Hyphen on Sun, 23 Apr 2023

Posted on Thu, 27 Apr 2023

That didn't feel like 5000 words, it was so enjoyable and entertaining.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your dog, Skye.

I agree with you re the blurred edges of real life and AI. We already living with the blurred edges of 'real'...

Posted on Sat, 22 Apr 2023

I love the first line and from there all the fine details unfold, sparkling nature, reality and clever metaphors. Tiny hearts in feathers is all the promise of spring in a sentence. Very well done and one to return to.

Posted on Wed, 26 Apr 2023

Some interesting details in this. The mix of sadness and science fiction reminds me of some episodes of Dr Who, strangly I was getting Dr Who vibes in part one and in part two you actually mentioned it...

I can imagine getting used to a...

Interesting the relationship

Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2023

Interesting the relationship women have with their breasts. I've never really understood why we have them, after all, they don't need to be big to feed a baby. Good luck with your surgery, wishing you all the best for a smooth recovery.

Roses and bees are very apt

Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2023

Roses and bees are very apt for International Women's Day. This is very beautiful, Jenny. Through a window there is so much to see and some sights are unchanging whether you are old or young. Once thing is for sure, there is always housework.

Thank you for reading and commenting, Di. I've had a similar thing with my mum, she gave me a watch chain and I said I was considering using the gold to turn into something I would wear, a plain ring, and she was aghast. Maybe I'll take it to...

Posted on Tue, 07 Mar 2023

All family treasures with much meaning, Rhiannon and prompts for so many memories and stories. That was an interesting dive into your cupboard. I'd forgotten all about those little wooden fruits with a moving beetle inside.

Posted on Wed, 01 Mar 2023

I found this story, gripping, thoroughly absorbing and gut-wrenching. There is so much magic in a garden, especially after dark. I love the analogy of the terrarium and the drama of sudden bereavement tempered by the domesticity of turnips.
