What does freedom mean to you? If you feel healthy and your mind is happy and peaceful, with the emphasis on the happy, what more could you possibly want? You may be thinking ‘enough money to pay my bills’ or ‘everyone I love to be the same and they’re not’, that includes pets of course.ContinueContinue reading “A Happy Mind”

A Lesson from Loo Cleaner
Thought I’d give you a laugh. I’ve see a foaming toilet cleaner advertised for at least two years, and earlier this week I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. It arrived today, to no small sense of excitement, and I readied myself to lift the lid on the toilet, pour inContinueContinue reading “A Lesson from Loo Cleaner”

Not Just Public Figures
What public figure do you disagree with the most? Politicians are an unbiased general disagreement situation for me. Too much posturing, firefighting, and boring sound bites. Too little real action. I also get fed up with celebrity ‘influencers’ especially those interfering in politics. However, those who put feet on the ground and actively try toContinueContinue reading “Not Just Public Figures”
Retirement Plus Writing
What is your career plan? I never had a career. I wasn’t allowed to go to college or university so I didn’t have a chance to widen out my life experience after a very narrow upbringing, and find out what I was good at and might like to do. When my brother was 16 myContinueContinue reading “Retirement Plus Writing”
Anton and Giovanni
What was the last live performance you saw? Saw them in Birmingham last year. Pretty good. Love them both but the staging could have been far better and the sound at the Symphony Hall is terrible. We also saw Eddie Izzard and if I heard 5 sentences that was it. I do wear hearing aids,ContinueContinue reading “Anton and Giovanni”

Obviously I can’t do that because I also cannot forget the terrible losses. It was during those lockdownsContinueContinue reading “Nothing”
Will We?
As I started reading this poem to post it, I realised that it’s about more than romantic love. It’s about life itself. It can be translated to ask questions about race, skin colour, gender, religion, philosophy, attitude, respect, consideration, acceptance. It is about the entire way we as humans connect with this world, and theContinueContinue reading “Will We?”
Nothing
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day? What’s the point of one day? I guess if you hated it then a day is good, if you loved it then a day would be heartbreaking; unless you’d be allowed to stay if you liked it. I don’t think in terms ofContinueContinue reading “Nothing”
Lindt Chocolate
What are your favorite brands and why? Apart from that I don’t care much. I’m not a brand person I’m a ‘what feels good’ person. Lindt fulfils that criterion nicely. I feel that Apple products are over priced, but I’ve have several Android phones and tablets and didn’t find them to be as good. That’sContinueContinue reading “Lindt Chocolate”
