Thirty euros for a sun bed,

Posted on Thu, 03 Oct 2024

Thirty euros for a sun bed, covered with the sweaty sun cream of yesterday's body, at least the blue sky is free. I too am sorry your feline companion, Crado never returned from his heatwave hiding. I love hearing about local cats on holiday. My...

Posted on Mon, 30 Sep 2024

I too was unaware of this fascinating story. Your poem reminds me of the way I felt as a child learning about ancient Egypt at school and not sure how deeply I wanted to delve because the stories felt so powerful.

Posted on Fri, 27 Sep 2024

I personally think that having 40 jobs is far more valuable than a singular long career in a company. As Ozzy Osbourne said, 'If I really wanted a gold watch I could just nick one and do 5 years in jail rather than 30 years working at Lucas's'....

The push and pull of a child
