Posted on Sun, 26 Jan 2025
There's an undercurrent here, it's like a game of chess, grievances simmering, doubts niggling. I was going to say, it's like a soap opera but the characters have more class, they're cultured. I think Perfidia might regret the oblivion tomorrow...

Thank you, Di, it's so encouraging to know that you're still enjoying it. I think you're right that Vanessa and Spencer sort of rescue each other on a regular basis. Some people reckon the whales and dolphins are more intelligent than us, they've...

I am so sorry to read this, Penny. It was very recently you wrote about the shocking diagnosis and how daunted you were feeling. He looks so lovely in the photograph.
I hope writing can help you to process the shock and give you something...
