I do like your adjectives in
Posted on Tue, 26 Mar 2019
I do like your adjectives in these, they make everything you list fun and real. I loved it when it was a fresh piece of paper, all smooth and cool with infinite possibilities of what it could become, and I got to choose, like being an...

All natural things in this
Posted on Sat, 23 Mar 2019
All natural things in this one. Clever to think of sun making you brown! I bet that would appeal to a child. And not just gravy, thick gravy :0) And scuttling spiders. What great variety of emotions you evoke here!

wow, this is lovely!
Posted on Fri, 22 Mar 2019
wow, this is lovely! Particularly like your description of daffoldils as "golden, dazzling clumps" and the new lambs "dancing, exploring and urgently feeding"

I remember the lorry one, it
Posted on Wed, 13 Mar 2019
I remember the lorry one, it was very funny :0) Have your whippets really caught squirrels??? My lurcher never did, but would sing/yelp/whine under trees as if his enthusiasm would make them fall out dazed. Whippets are the most beautiful...

This is amazing and brilliant, best thing I have ever read on this subject.

I used to like taking
Posted on Mon, 04 Mar 2019

I like all the layers in this
Posted on Mon, 04 Mar 2019
I like all the layers in this, exploring so many ideas, whether we work to live or live to work, if you can live forever as a virtual mind in an artificial body, if that is the way mankind will colonise space, space debris, loss of resources. I...

I know what it feels like
Posted on Sun, 03 Mar 2019
I know what it feels like when all the voices get too loud and it's like they are battering you, you describe it so well. And then going outside where there are birds which can fly, it's a great contrast, the lightness after the heaviness. Also,...
