Sorry Harper Collins, but I refuse to pander to the trend for non-capitalised titles, just as you refuse to pander to me – an old-school child of the seventies.

53: Two More Days
Only two more days to go. Not that I’m wishing myself away – just the day job. In two days, step out of my workplace knowing that I will never have to step back in. Not that I will be completely unfettered. The full unfettering won’t happen until the date of expiry. NotContinue reading “53: Two More Days”
Introspection
A response to feedback offered by my one and only follower, Ricardo Scribblero, who politely questioned whether the generally introspective theme running through all of my written out(in)put, might be too much for some. Let me introduce myself to you, ready for your inspection, ready to be gazed at by you – through yourContinue reading “Introspection”
Decrusted
A response to the poem ‘On Clothes’, by Kahlil Gibran (as featured on poem-a-day). If the ‘wind longs to play with’ my ‘hair’, let it flatten rather than flick and fly with all that is split with it. And, if ‘the earth delights to feel’ my ‘bare feet’, let it pumice and pummel all ofContinue reading “Decrusted”

Hypocaust
In the middle, I stand, pushing down my insides, is to be whooshed over and over; whooshed by the waves, emanating up from the soles of one’s feet; tidal waves, quick and sudden; humongous waves that cross over one’s bowels, stomach and heart, crushing them together into a bouncing ball, up and churning it Continue reading “Hypocaust”
Why do good people do bad things to good people?
Is it bad to be obedient, or is that just a good person doing what they are told? Why do good people do bad things to other good people? Can a person be good if they have done a bad thing to another person, knowing that the thing they have done is bad?Continue reading “Why do good people do bad things to good people?”

Savvy Diary 39: Borley Mill
Disclaimer: This post contains image links for books available at Amazon, for which I do not receive any commission. It’s Sunday. I’m on the move along Northern Road and I have to say that my dainty ballerina’s arthritic feet look rather sweet when intermingled with so many pink flowers. And just take a look atContinue reading “Savvy Diary 39: Borley Mill”
