Chain reactions

After the imaginative efforts of my gifted friends hackthorne19, abanerjee and sinome, there is really nothing else I can add to the Cleo-Marc saga, so we will let then die in peace and move on to this day's topic. I'm sure it has happened to you at one time or other in your life that, with... Sign in to see full entry.

And Cleo screams some more..

To get into the spirit of things, I have painted myself Egyptian eyes this morning. (No, I won't post a picture). Let's see if it helps. Where were we? "Never mind the stupid rod," Cleo hissed. It was hot and sticky and she was getting miffed. No breeze from the sea either and this new Nubian slave... Sign in to see full entry.

And Cleopatra screamed...

This somewhat strange header came about, because I'm just reading a fascinating book. It's "See you later Alligator" by William F. Buckely Jr. It was published in 1985, so is by no means a new book.

Thanks my friend for reading and giving me valuable feedback. As I aid, I solit the 2 chpters into 4 parts, so you don't have to read that much prose in one go. Here is the second half of the first chapter: And like that, my fiancé became my ex fiancé. Twenty years have passed and Mikki’s morina was... Sign in to see full entry.

Sounding board blogit

I have started on my next book which is a travelogue about my meanderings in Galicia and the title is "In Search of Morina". I was lucky enough to have met a publisher, based in London but with a rilfriedn in Galicia who has expressed interest in the book and therefore I set to work. I have just...

My tree collection

I just love to take pictures of old trees. They fire my imagination with their gnarled branches defiantly stretching towards the sky, not heeding thunderstorms, lighting, earthquakes, you name it. With their roots literally firmly planted in the ground. Here are some of my favorites: This one is... Sign in to see full entry.
