This morning I am the space cowboy, whistling for meteors and herding planets, pulling them behind me as I comet my way through life

Morning folks! See if you can pop into a bookshop today, even if it’s just to buy eight or nine hardback books

Chips are happening. And wine. And a book

This morning I am parent to my furious umbrella, coaxing with raindrops from my night pocket and promising it a wild release around the next corner but fearful for its future if I do

This morning I’m a door that’s closing soon and the sight of a low and distant moon. I’m the wish on a star in the middle of the day and a blue dress sky so far away

This morning I am the light on the road, the piper in the street. I’m the song to mark moments that you hear when we meet

Dog Story - part 6 A shocking turn of events

An inky black, yet golden eagle swoops down from the sky and grabs our hero the pup between its talons, flying up up up as the pup sadly watches the scroll falling back down to earth

Ok now I really want politicians to start sucking up to the Warhammer lobby.

This morning my body is creaking like a house full of ghosts keep forgetting something in the other room
