The Unsent Letter
I've been going through old untitled documents on my cloud and found this unsent letter to my next door neighbour whose noisy handy man (her little pet) polluted the air space with a very loud radio each weekend, drowning out the birds and other soothing sounds.

Posted on Sat, 13 Jan 2018
Ah I love this, brings back the memories of being a cat owned fool so vividly. I still miss mine too much to entertain getting another. It's a quiet, calming (mostly) and unique kind of companionship which you've summed up beautifully here.

Hi Di_Hard, I agree re wanton wastefulness, some people even buy a whole new set of decorations each year, pretty shocking isn't it. I like to have a real tree, it's like a little Christmas friend, something to get you through it when the family...

Unusual poem, it works really well. As an admirer of moss I think you have done it justice, really love, 'moist micro city'. Moss is much underrated, close up, in the sunlight it's really beautiful.

The letter was such a different animal to the modern forms of communication. You've described here so well the processes and pitfalls as well as the artfulness of letter writing Rhiannon.

So true, where will the upgrading end? Everytime i watch the Olympics, especially the gymnastics I wonder how high will they jump in another four years, how many spins? I am also for degrading, possibly devolving too, back in the caves, grunting...

Love this, especially the woman with the parking ticket. Made me feel a bit jealous of the person in the poem(you?); I could really do with being 'all but free' and a big thunderstorm would be lovely.
