My current neighbours are the worst I’ve ever had, they moved in this March and they have already upset the sheltered housing community that is behind my garden. They cut back all the bird cover and now no birds come into my garden. My bird feeders are still full after two weeks – they usedContinue reading “My neighbours…”

Tired but happy…
Today I planned to get away for the day on the bus. On my way to get on a bus, I started getting texts from someone I’m friendly with telling me he was being harassed because of a review I wrote about another shop. Yes that’s weird isn’t it? So I tried to delete myContinue reading “Tired but happy…”
Sharing this poem…
My Mother and Lucille Clifton Have Tea Parneshia Jones When I get to where I’m going I want the death of my children explained to me. —Lucille Clifton They meet over tea and potato chips. Brown and buttermilk women, hipped and hardened, legs uncrossed but proper still in their smiles; smiles that carry a sadnessContinue reading “Sharing this poem…”
Saturn…
Photo credit unknown, source EarthSky The planet Saturn was between the sun and the Cassini spacecraft – sheltering the craft from the sun’s blinding glare – when Cassini acquired this image. This spacecraft orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017.
The now waning moon…
Look for the now waning moon in the morning this weekend. I know I’m late with my invite to the party, but this gives me such joy. I lost an entire poem today. I had spent ages crafting it, and had tried and failed to turn it into a Word doc. Then I realised theContinue reading “The now waning moon…”

I always leave my home by my back door, which has now become a terrible ordeal for me. My neighbours on that sideContinue reading “Feeling achey…”
Today in brief…
Today was my daughter’s 21st birthday. I gave her some very simple silver jewelry, a collar made in one piece of silver which comes to a point about 3.5inches below her neck, and a matching cuff bracelet that can be gently squeezed to fit her slender wrist. We are going for a meal somewhere tomorrow.Continue reading “Today in brief…”
There are meteors…
There is an annual fall of meteors, but because the moon is almost full and is lighting almost all the night sky, it is harder to see them.
Entertaining Angels…
Yesterday, through a complicated story that I won’t tell here, I became involved with a lady on a website who was looking for someone to clear and weed her garden. I ‘offered her a solution’ by recommending someone to her, and because I clicked on the ‘solution’ icon I was told by the website thatContinue reading “Entertaining Angels…”
Recovering…
I happen to know of someone who isn’t respected or appreciated. It is said of him, ‘It doesn’t matter. It’s his money’ ‘He’s a complete idiot.’ I was really shocked. To have a difficult time in a relationship is one thing, to let others know there is no respect, no regard, no appreciation is quiteContinue reading “Recovering…”
