I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.

Our Old Girl… Remembering Coral
I knew Coral (seashore) for only the final two of her eighty-six years. Around our love and sadness for her late daughter Julia (Overthetop1), who herself had been a dear friend forty years before, we formed an incredible bond in that short time. She once described herself as an old crock. To me she was an old crock of gold.

Sigh!

A Plovdiv-Tarnovo Compostition
There was young actor called Ryan
Who was very addicted to sighin'
He'd moan and he'd groan
As he sat all alone
In a caff that had no shepherd’s pie in...

Hello Kat.
I had to look up Ryan Gosling on Google, but this is what happens to those of us who live outside the hustle and bustle of Plovdiv society.
Any road, I’ll kick off…

Monster

Hello Luigi.
I’m excited to find out what happens next in the sleepy little town. It’s a place of great mystery and intrigue. The story’s advertised as a ten-parter but that’s what they said about Coronation Street in 1960. Have we ABC...

Thank you very much Tom.
It’s the end of Mornington Heights as we knew it, but it’s not the end of the story.

Will you be adding...

This is such an honour.

Shame
Posted on Sat, 14 Mar 2026
Knowing what to say, either way, is very difficult and explaining exactly what is expected or not expected from a simple meet up for a drink can take the shine off the circumstances that have led up to it. It's a huge shame that we have this...

Cheeky, or not cheeky
Posted on Sat, 14 Mar 2026
There are different levels to this, in my opinion. At the bottom there's the dark threatening expectation of something intimate happening and at the top there's the cheeky innuendo.
