All bloggers are writers. Some good, some mediocre, some bad, and some truly abysmal. This weekend’s post from the sofa is inspired by a couple of authors whose blogs I’ve commented on this week. Counting up the number of bloggers who regularly read on here I was surprised how many published authors there are. Whether […]Read Post ›
… Freedom moving along … The sun shines on the righteous. With which, Partner got a rare parking space outside our block, helped by our wonderful neighbour opposite who moved his car to let us into the tight space and I was all set to shuffle down the stairs on my backside. As a kid, […]Read Post ›
Feeble actually. Feeble every day, although my fit un-feeble appearance is proving to be a disadvantage. Tuesday it was back to the hospital.
