So Anna is angry at me for wanting to promote her Art work through my Twitter and Facebook accounts. I would normally drop one of her pictures in here but I will give it a miss this time. I don´t get it! Creative people who want to commercialise their work need publicity – yes? Continue reading “Women, women, women and women!”

Friends, stupidity, the beach, boobs and bums
Today I got stuck on a couple of paragraphs, attempting to explain the delights of floating down the River Thyme on a barge. I had the two Elf´s, Mad Tom of Bedlam, Mad Magdalene and Fairy Hanny on the barge of Mr. O´Nighon. I just couldn´t make the text flow like I saw the riverContinue reading “Friends, stupidity, the beach, boobs and bums”
Cars, Plums and Grapes
It´s amazing what a trip to the shops can do. I live 10 minutes walk from a Supermarket in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Sometimes I drive there though that usually takes longer than 10 minutes because of the one way system and traffic lights. SO today I walked there as I only needed aContinue reading “Cars, Plums and Grapes”
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.

I´ve worked with some great leaders and managers throughout my life. In schools, in industry, in the army. It seems to me that whenContinue reading “Disappearing”

It took me back two years to 10th August 2014. I watched the sun rise as I flew from Astana to Almaty,Continue reading “Sunrise to Sunset – for Tasha”
Soft surf Peniscola beach.
Kicking through the gentle surf, I see Sea; Life and death. Water of life bitter to taste, killing the tree, Death is the Sea Shells Sanctuary. Broken Rocks, Broken hearts. Even your name evokes in me; Peniscola! Penis, giver of life whether desired or not, Six percent? Cola refreshing the parts we dare not mention;Continue reading “Soft surf Peniscola beach.”
Magical ‘Magic Posters’
I sit beside the fire and think – Tolkein
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world willContinue reading “I sit beside the fire and think – Tolkein”
Planets
Starry night in Istanbul. Somewhere in the sky are two bright lights, planets I am told. Spectacular. One is Venüs. The other may as well be Uranüs as they mean feck all to me! And the Moon is a slippery banana.
