Your poor young children must

Posted on Sat, 20 Apr 2024

Your poor young children must have been frantic with all those black insects flying around them. I would have felt the same if it were me.

Hi Turlough, Sorry about your

Posted on Sun, 21 Apr 2024

Hi Turlough, Sorry about your accident with the bike. My partner went head first over the handlebars of his bike riding down a hill, he ended up with his arm in a sling for a couple of weeks and couldn't drive.

Sounds like a very healthy way to start the day Turlough. I'd never heard of this friendly Lactobacillus Bulgaricus before, it's certainly quite a mouthful...if you'll pardon the pun. ...

Hi Rhiannon,

Hi Rhiannon,

I agree with Di when she said: 'I love the rich variety you evoke, and their ENTHUSIASM.' It sums up my feelings too, but I couldn't have put it any better myself.

A powerful message of hope in

Posted on Wed, 10 Apr 2024

A powerful message of hope in this perceptively drawn story Paul. I like the way you handle his logic thoughts about the salesman, yet surprises himself by actually paying for the glasses.

Enjoyed reading with all the fine details.

Loved reading these diary entries Turlough.

I can relate to your aching limbs, we took to the garden to do some clearing too. It feels never ending the older I get.
