He's interested in the feathers and not in the book despite the fact that he makes an appearance in one of the tales. 😼

#poetry Alert!
Not quite so dangerous as previous verses have been,
marked safe for almost all readers. Sometimes simple is better: 'Juke Box Jive' (with link to audio)

#WIP Image not near Merthyr,but it's how I imagine the house referred to. Remember, no blah-blah-blah living or dead etc. That's 10,000 up in words,which means taking seriously as a project,which means no more on ABC. You'll just have to buy it in 6 months.

#PoetryAlert! Did I warn you about this one yesterday?
This is how it SHOULD (not this image, no. The poem, when you click through. Keep up!🤣) have looked on the screen.
In red are options for punctuating the last couplet, changing the meaning of the lines, maybe … www.abctales.com/story/ewan/l...

Hastings Library Services are MUCH better than this, but "artistic licence" and all that. Complaints to E. Wailer, C/O Unhelpful Literary Agency, Paternoster Row, London

Warning #Poetry Ahead!
Follow the diversion signs to the B5201 if un-equipped with snow-brains or a toe-rope.
'The Hunting of the Wren' an old folk-rite. If you proceed beyond this do not scratch your head too hard.

Don't buy much #vinyl at all now.Only second-hand - and we all know how hit-and-miss that can be. In charity shops, a good clue is,if the LPs arrive in one of those cases we used to store/carry them about in,condition will be OK.Part of the #PreSpainClearout: it's Mint

1/3 Just found out the guy in the middle died last month. I was his "interpreter" for two RAF Waddington Air Shows in the 90s. He actually spoke wonderful English, but wouldn't, because his contract said he got an interpreter. A man of real presence, I went along with anything he said, just about.

Just me feeling like this?

#WIP #WritingnotWriting Well, I finally got out of chapter 49 of Mr Martinez, after it held me up at gunpoint for about 10 days... now all I need to do is give it a proper ending. Then it's time for draft two, which hopefully will fill in all the plot holes you could drive a Hummer through...
