Season of Mists
We walk through the park, holding hands, out of habit. Together. Apart. The November air has that kind of stillness you only get in autumn. Not just...

Death on the Beach
Written after I saw a French and Saunders skit on the iconic scene where the Knight plays chess with Death on the beach, from Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal . This has been previously posted on ABC, so it might look familiar. There are a few stories I'm putting back up.

Some You Win ..
'Would you like a beer', asks the host. I think he's called Mark. I open my mouth but before I can speak, James says 'She doesn't drink'. He tries to...

Can you be drowned in a storm-wracked sky As deep as a storm-wracked sea ? Can you run aground on a pale full moon And shelter in her lee ?

It's always the innocents who
Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
It's always the innocents who suffer the most, Alfred. Acccording to the WHO over 21,000 Palestinian children dead so far. And that's just in Gaza. What can decent people do ? Other than donate to the emergency organizations in the often...

Charlotte Proudman and James Cleverly
Posted on Sat, 15 Aug 2026
Charlotte Proudman had a good article in The Independent pointing out that many white professors are accused of, and found guilty of, sexual harassment of their students, but the professors never get subjected to a media witch hunt.

Shropshire
Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
I have had many lovely walking holidays in Shropshire, it's so beautiful and unspoilt. I don't know why more people haven't heard of the Welsh Marches but then perhaps it's a good job they haven't ! My family (the Lancasters) were saddlers in...

I read it as a woman and it
Posted on Mon, 17 Aug 2026
I read it as a woman and it completely resonated with me (my husband ran off with his best friend's wife). I thought you got the development of the affair and the final leaving absolutely right. And beautifully expressed too. Well deserves...

WTF
Posted on Sat, 15 Aug 2026
I've been single for a very long time now. As the poem (is it a poem ?) says, I'm quite content. I've had a few offers but nothing tempted me away from my comfortable, independent life.
But I do wonder sometimes – say I suddenly met...

criteria schmiteria - you just write it anyway.
My dad (dodgy Dimitar from Southampton), Benny Hill and John Stonehouse all went to school together. Not a lot of people know that.

Spooky
Posted on Thu, 13 Aug 2026
I live near Cirencester and watched it through a colander projecting little round suns onto a piece of white paper. My friend had made a pinhole camera out of a cardboard box. The little round suns did briefly look like someone had taken a bite...

Back to Black (not)
Posted on Sat, 08 Aug 2026
I've never seen anyone in England ask to take a supermarket trolley back to get the pound coin, but I've had it happen to me in France. You must be very fluent in Bulgarian if you could understand what the guy was saying about tumours and not...

Thanks Turlough I will look
Posted on Thu, 06 Aug 2026
Thanks Turlough I will look at the 2 links and the boys Hafez and Saadi tomorrow. It's always difficult reading anything in translation because you know you're not reading what the author actually wrote. I love the Fitzgerald ( not Burton - I...
