Written in response to Chris Smyth’s front-page story ‘Wanted: weirdos to shake up Whitehall’, as featured in ‘The Times’, Friday January 3 2020. Dear Dom, Weirdos wanted. At last, a job description that calls to me. At last, I am needed. At last, my time – the time of the Silly-Savvy Salopian has come.Continue reading “Savvy Letter: Dear Dom”

A Savvy-Something Poem – Patiently Waiting
Inspired by ‘Silence’, a poem by C D Anders, published on The Unecessary Blog. Liberated, I become quieter, preferring my own solitude. What is there to scream about, when I am no longer subdued by the desperateness of the embarrassment of others? Others who, with everything to hide about themselves, seek to create identical others. IdenticalContinue reading “A Savvy-Something Poem – Patiently Waiting”
Savvy Poem – Cracked Wallpaper
With the lid on me twisted and tightened – to prevent leakages – the words on the wallpaper of my interior, crack.

Silly Poem – Downing It
Drowned, presumably. Drowned in thoughts of my own making, as I down my all, circling around the world, without ever getting to the top of it; instead, being sucked right into it. Right into it and down. All the way down. Right the way down and all the way through its middle. Copyright ownedContinue reading “Silly Poem – Downing It”
Silly Poem – I write, therefore I am not.
Not a single inch of a poem have I been able to write whilst sitting here thinking about what not to write. This is the best that I cannot do.

Silly-Savvy Diary – Me-Time in Prado
Prado Lounge, Sudbury. Great place for some me-time. Me-time much needed after a hectic Christmas and New Year. Two weeks of non-stop sorting, cleaning and recycling to clear away the debris from the previous Christmas (yes, I did find a bauble from last year’s tree still under the settee!), before the guests arrive (returning prodigalContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Diary – Me-Time in Prado”
Silly Politics – Boris’ Eggy Feet
Do I really want to go forward with 2020, when I’ve just had the most bizarre carrot on a stick dangled in front of my senses? Who, in the UK, or for that matter, the rest of the world, be it of American or European ilk, would want to egg old Boris on, as heContinue reading “Silly Politics – Boris’ Eggy Feet”
Silly Adventure – Bunny Soup in Chilton
What to do on a Sunday, when one has risen from their boudoir just in time to have missed morning service at the local spiritual establishment, and is in the company of God-fearing guests? Stand outside one’s clifftop cave with a box of orange-flavoured Matchmakers, and coax them out into the open. A winner everyContinue reading “Silly Adventure – Bunny Soup in Chilton”
Silly-Savvy Adventure – Christmas in Chilton
Neglect. Two solid weeks of sifting, shoving, lifting, dismantling, sorting and rumbling through the mess that is my house. No posts. Zilch views. Grumbles from acquaintances about unfulfilled promises to read their writings. I am not, after all, as it turns out, Mrs Hinch! So who the heck’s going to be interested in my cleaningContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Adventure – Christmas in Chilton”
Silly-Savvy Article – Cats & Media Turds
What is it about cats? Why do the beasts have such a sense of entitlement that they take pleasure in decorating my lawn with their turds? And why do they line the turds up in a row, directly beneath my washing line? Do they do this deliberately with a view to staking a claim uponContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Article – Cats & Media Turds”
