Hi Turlough,

this is such a great write, that I'm sure many can relate to. For me not so much the football, but spending every Sunday afternoon in the Beehive pub in Swindon listening to live musicians was far too tempting not to carry on...

Hi Jane,

Hi Maxine,

I understand and really feel your frustration. It's like the world has gone crazy with these robots and A I. Makes you wonder what the future will have in store, it's terrifying.

Hope everything works out okay in the end...

Hi Turlough,

I see you don't hang around when it comes to getting on top of things that need doing. You are certainly an early bird working in the garden at 6.00am.

To observe the scale of colours

Draw the octave of scents

into your lungs

To squeeze the...
