Terence Mullan
Down the years I have lived in many places and I have done many jobs. Now I live in Bulgaria and the only work I do is tending to my lovely garden when the sun is shining and scribbling away in my big book of writing stuff when it is not.
I may have left it too late in life to become a famous writer or celebrated gardener but I will persevere anyway. These are the things that occupy me in a seemingly effortless and satisfying way.

Biden

It helps a little that even Biden seems to be dragging his feet this time.

Despair
Posted on Mon, 15 Apr 2024
If any nation should know better than to do this, it is Israel. Their actions in Gaza are beyond belief but it seems that a bit of local genocide isn't enough for them. They are dragging us all into the Book of Revelation.

Horror and mistrust.
Posted on Sat, 13 Apr 2024
The causative inept police force, the horror of the event and a government intent on a cover up. It all stinks.
I've read a lot about this. In previous semi-finals at Hillsborough fans from Tottenham and Leeds had felt that they were going...

Maybe if you'd spent the £20 on another bottle of the strong drink you'd have seen stars.
An enjoyable read. I'm glad it finished on a positive note.

The length of a stork's life
Posted on Tue, 09 Apr 2024
The length of a stork's life depends upon what you feed it on. They seem to have a fondness for butter substitutes.
There's an absolutely ancient one here with a Geordie accent that mutters on constantly about pink/purple hair, painful...

Papa was a soothsayer.
Posted on Sat, 06 Apr 2024
Aren't all fathers soothsayers with the words 'told you so' poised on the tips of their tongues even if they hadn't told us so? I think my kids might say I'm guilty of that myself.
An entertaining look at the Gilded Cage. Nice one Jenny...

Now, there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
When I was a kid clowns made us laugh but these days their...

Oh no P4AT. I wasn't picking you up on your writing.
I was merely remarking upon the harshness of the mom's critique. Some people (especially mothers) can't seem to get their heads round how difficult it can be to make a few lines rhyme....

I recently watched a series
Posted on Thu, 21 Mar 2024
I recently watched a series on Netflix called 'The Fall' where a senior police detective (Gillian Anderson of X Files fame) trains herself to keep a dream diary that she makes entries in whenever she wakes up in the middle of the night. I thought...
