Oooh! Archibald gets so

Posted on Fri, 17 May 2024

Oooh! Archibald gets so confused and poor Josiah is so tolerant, I can feel his frustration building, but luckily Josiah manages to control his feelings.

I'll bet Archibald's already rushing back to that cupboard to relay what he's...

I wonder how Vanessa will

Posted on Fri, 17 May 2024

I wonder how Vanessa will react to that last comment about Spencer being a slave.

It's funny how our taste buds change as we get older. I used to grow chillies and put them with so many different foods, but now can't stand anything that's...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

you know I never thought about Chere's record when I wrote those words. Although I get your point, there's no way I would take to a ship's deck with all those American sailors oggling me. She was lucky enough to have the looks...

Hi Rhiannon,

Hi Rhiannon,

I didn't know this AA Milne piece, but your poem reminds me of that song by Kermit the frog, when he sings about being half way up the stair.

I have to admit that on those odd occasions when I venture out for a walk, It...

Hi Turlough,

Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024

Hi Turlough,

just finished reading your latest journal entries. I don't find your tree hugging strange at all. I touch and hug my garden trees because I feel my hands release energy when touching, then to let the tree know I'm...

What an interesting adventure

Posted on Mon, 13 May 2024

What an interesting adventure you had on your journey home. I wonder if you discovered some new routes while on your travels. 

At least you were able to meet up with some friends which must have made it more pleasant. 

Your poem had...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

thank you for your interesting read. It's a fact that when you've had such an interesting life, that many of your experiences are likely to rise from your subconscious into dreams. 

That's fascinating that Priyatelkata...

Hi Turlough,

Just read your comment to insert. Wow! You have been busy with all those trees you've planted. I really hope they do well.

Poor Snezhinka. I do hope things will turn out well for your dog, it must be so stressful for...

Hi again Phil,

Posted on Fri, 10 May 2024

Hi again Phil,

don't for one minute think there's not much humour, especially when Archibald's around. I agree with insert, you tackle the story so well, it's easy to follow and you need a little heartbreak along with humour, it makes the...

Hi Jane,

Hi Jane,

I'm loving the conflicting points of view about Spencer. It really makes you think about the pros and cons of technology.

Jenny.
