I have no friends but the words talk to me. They don’t say what I read, they say something else.

When I was young I read what I heard. I was diagnosed as being dyslexic but I ignored everyone and concentrated on listening to the words. I hid in that diagnosis for many years.

Week 253 – Unavailable Fables, A Taste Of Ointment And A Deceit Of Politicians.

The year is flying by and we are now at Week 253.

Week 251 – Remembering, Forgetting And Distasteful Mucus.

Well here we are at Week 251.

There was no need to think on any inspiration this week, it found me.

First off I need to thank Nik for standing in last Saturday, he did a grand job. Nik has also had some input into this weeks posting. Diane stood back and sighed. (I’d have judged her if she hadn’t) I’ve still got my knack of repelling the ladies!!
