Wonderful festive poem, Paul.
Posted on Wed, 04 Dec 2024
Wonderful festive poem, Paul. It makes me feel grateful for the traditions you've mentioned, especially at the darkest time of the year when we need a little something to cheer us up.
Who'd be a delivery driver, it must be a nightmare...

He's made the right choice, some things cannot be bought and cannot be replaced or undone. John's choice is the unusual one, most would be seduced by large amounts of cash. He must be a strong man who can now sleep well at night. Lovely piece,...

I read this a few days ago, Penny and couldn't think of a suitable comment. Returning to it today, I can tell your words are heartfelt, unfiltered and raw. You must be in turmoil emotionally and I know how that can affect you physically too....

Hospital is always an ordeal
Posted on Thu, 07 Nov 2024
Hospital is always an ordeal whatever the reason for your stay. I would be anxious too, not knowing quite how your body will cope with movement and unknown levels of pain. You're also trapped, surrounded by strangers. Of course most will look...

That seems extremely unfair.
Posted on Fri, 08 Nov 2024
That seems extremely unfair. It's bad enough with the single room supplement. Surely it's a form of discrimination, just like the self-checkouts discriminate against people who's only chance to speak to somebody all day is at the checkout.

Mmm a dog familiar. I can't help thinking Frankie won't quite meet the sophisticated standards and the mysterious ways of a cat familiar although daschund's are very special. Dillon shouldn't have sprung that on everyone but no doubt the cats...
