Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

I really enjoyed reading this

Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018

I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

Very topical Rhiannon and it

Posted on Thu, 04 Jul 2024

Very topical Rhiannon and it's not only the older generations who are susceptible to such scams. The sophistication of these things is moving at such a rate of knots, nobody is immune, particularly if you have a gap in your life, leaving you more...

Agree with this too. This site and its contributors have really honed my writing skills, like a passive university. There's no pressure to do homework and there's no pressure for anyone to mark it but it happens because we all enjoy it and keep...

This is like a time capsule

Posted on Tue, 14 Feb 2023

This is like a time capsule Jenny, crafting from words a picture which we can all see. Somehow our depiction of past times seems more innocent than today's world but I don't know if that's actually true or we were just more naive. The pubs were...

We certainly are blessed, Jenny. Sometimes I wonder why we go to such lengths to make our own entertainment when all thise is just outside, it's a shame many children don't have much access to nature and this world in luminosity.

A beautiful little tree holds

Posted on Sat, 16 Jul 2022

Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2022
