  • I Need Care.

    I don’t know about self care, but I definitely need care, as I’ve written for yesterdays prompt instead of today’s. Home is Where the Heart Is. Home is where the heart is, and mine is in my bodyI don’t have a house in Toy Land like Big Ear’s best friend NoddyThere’s a lot of people… Read more

  • There Are So Many Like Me.

    I wish I had started amassing wealth much earlier. I would now be able to do what I like, buy who I like, treat the poor like scum and everyone else as fodder. There but for fortune go I. So lucky to be one of the many not the privileged few. All words Meadowhead Bard… Read more

  • Dogs Rule OK.

    I know I said I wasn’t going to put on a post every day, and this is the second post in as many days, but I did write it many days ago, and it’s so apt for this prompt. DOGS RULE OK! Dogs in the street, dogs in the park, dogs barking in the darkDogs… Read more

  • 1984 and All That.

    1984 by George Orwell was definitely a book I regretted reading it tapped straight into a depressive seam. It was like a reflection in a murky pond all those years ago, now it’s like a reflection in the clearest silvered mirror. George’s prediction was a little early but nonetheless accurate, if a little over exaggerated.… Read more

  • The Receptionist.

    I would be a receptionist, not because I particularly want to be, but because I’d be doing some stupid Ai bot out of a job. I had in mind when writing the following a little known and very short song by Bob Dylan, called “Jet Pilot” in which he describes a purportedly beautiful young woman… Read more

  • All is Coincidence

    The following is immense, this first little coincidence is tiny. On our recent holiday we came across a lady having problems with her camper van, all the electrics in the living section had gone off, I had a look, checked the fuses, could find nothing wrong. We left her waiting for a repair man. On… Read more

  • Ideal World.

    I wasn’t going to anything on the blog today, but as am am sat in abeyance, I thought I may as well write. IDEAL WORLDS, NOT! I’d like to live in a world where there is no greed, on others skills no one would feedA world of love a world of care a world where… Read more
