My fake membership of the art world
Mary-Gwyn’s site is one in the … ahh … company of which I aspire to belong. I think I lost my way there, somehow: but you know what I mean. I’m a wannabe artistic person, without more than, oh, possibly one of the smaller bones inmy left hand by way of artistic merit, myself. I […]
Daily Prompt: Que sera, sera
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/0... Do you believe in fate, or do you believe you can control your own destiny ? I think … neither of those: the use of the word ‘fate’ in this context indicates one’s being kind of helplessly but firmly pushed along the Great Path of Life; whereas controlling your own destiny points to having […]
Never too old, it seems …
This is Lenna’s site, All Things Yarn, and I came across her only a couple of weeks ago. She’s just started blogging, and it’s in a field in which I have enormous personal interest. Within her first couple of weeks, she’s managed to make my jaw drop in amazement. I thought I knew a bit […]

Like all pure creatures, cats are practical. William S. Burroughs Far be it from me to contradict (and, of course, such eventuality is virtually unknown !), but that’s total bullshit. Clapping my aged hand behind my ear, I believeI discern someamong you asking in peeved fashion, “Oh, what’s she on about now…?!” This. As of […]
Ashfield: I’m getting better at this …
… my library author talks, I mean. Not at blogging, no … and there’s still such a way to go ! Biggest audience yet, at Ashfield Library. Pissing with rain – but happily not until I and the audience were all inside. Then the heavens opened and down it came: I stopped in the middle […]

If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don’t bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to […]
