This Sort of Thing - January 2024 - Main Course
Written at the rate of 100 words per day, this is the second part of my account of a journey from the settee to the corner of our kitchen where the kettle is. At this point the kettle is switched on. I only wish, during that icy month, I could have said the same about myself.

Euro cash
Posted on Fri, 26 Sep 2025
Ha ha! Saint Pay Up would be a great name for a fella on our money. St P is only going on the Bulgarian euro coin, not the notes. Every country in the Eurozone has it's own euro coin but they all use each other's. The euro banknotes are the same...

Bringing in the Sheaves
Posted on Thu, 25 Sep 2025
Those flaxen days are footprints of life these days Jenny, not just of summer. In recent years I've watched farmers taking in the hay. The machinery they have is so advanced that they can do it at night in the rain. Farming is well and truly an...

Sunny Swindon
Posted on Thu, 25 Sep 2025
It's hard to imagine Swindon without Honda. I bought a Honda Civic in 2002 and was mocked for buying a foreign car but in actual fact it had been built only thirty miles away from where I lived.

I hope there's no repetition.
I Googled...

6°C
Posted on Thu, 25 Sep 2025
Sorry for the delay IPFN. I've been away for a couple of weeks but catching up now. It's still pleasantly warm and sunny in Bulgaria but where we were in Donegal it was cold, wet and windy most of the time. If that saying 'a change is as good as...

Florence

Hello Jenny.
The pet situation has been very stressful lately, particularly during the last week or so. Watch this space for more news and hang on to your hat.
Have you ever seen the film Florence Foster Jenkins in which Meryl...

Never
Posted on Sun, 24 Aug 2025
It seems like forever and ever they've been saying never again.
I like the clever way you've used powerful words to cover just about every aspect of how mankind has gone about destroying itself. It's a pity mankind itself isn't a bit...

Reassurance
Posted on Mon, 25 Aug 2025
I think every writer finds reassurance in the knowledge that they aren't the only ones who suffer from writer's block. Your words of self-reassurance are certainly reassuring to me. So thank you for that Jenny.

I hope the new Jacks of this world make a better job of it than we have done, for new Jack's sake.
A beautiful poem to go with a beautiful event.
Welcome Jack.

The Fog on the Severn
Posted on Tue, 19 Aug 2025
Sounds of things like pebbles rolling downhill and mystery girls creeping up from behind are always louder in the still of a foggy day. Your description of the scene contributes to a gripping build up to her arrival, so I'm looking forward to...
