What do you complain about the most? There is only one race on this Earth, humanity. We have the same problems, the same fears, the same needs. Yet we take so much pride in being right, in insulting people of other races, claiming we’re victims of prejudice and constantly insulting people of other colours, anotherContinueContinue reading “Humanity”

What a Racket
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? Badminton is the only sport I play. I used to do martial arts which is kind of a sport and is great for fitness and confidence, and some versions are in the Olympics. I enjoy watching Rugby. I did get enthusiastic about the England women’s footballContinueContinue reading “What a Racket”
Sit Still
What would you do if you won the lottery? I once came into a little money after a divorce. It seemed like enough to keep me secure for life. It was gone in two years. A friend came into the same amount of money for the same reason, we warned her, she laughed, same thingContinueContinue reading “Sit Still”
All the Books
What books do you want to read? Theoretically. In fact the advent of portable technology has ruined me. I’m endlessly nosy, not into other people’s business, that’s rarely more interesting than mine, but into what’s going on in the world. I start reading something on a news site, then there’s something even more interesting, andContinueContinue reading “All the Books”

Not in My Wildest Dreams

My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”
Peace and quiet
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? There isn’t much to do around here. I do love badminton as you know. I love seeing my sister, although it’s not quiet on either side, seeing her is always peaceful. I can be me. I used to love a mooch round the shops butContinueContinue reading “Peace and quiet”
One Beneath the skin
There is so much focus on skin colour, race, gender, and religion, yet beneath the skin we are identical. We are comprised of the same working parts. We care about our families especially the children. We want to be safe, well, and happy. So how do so many divisions exist, manufactured by the few, leakingContinueContinue reading “One Beneath the skin”
You Are Me
I understand the innocence of childhood Because long ago I was you An innocent with my whole life in front of me Safe in my cocoon with my family Playing happily in streets Splashing in the rain Paddling in the sea And shrieking as the waves washed over me As you used to But youContinueContinue reading “You Are Me”
