The Animal Good Samaritan. Last week on my way home from the local shops I stumbled upon something usual. Allow me to set the scene. It’s cold, very wet and dark. Not a good combination. All I was thinking about was getting home, putting down my shopping and having dinner. There, I came upon aContinue reading “Kindness!”

AI, Anyone?!
Recently I had a discussion with a cousin who is a radio presenter for an online radio station. During this discussion about ‘rare groove’* songs he mentioned that he has been considering playing music generated by AI?! Well dear readers, you can predict my shocked response. What?! Whatever for?! Now then, I’m not so blinkeredContinue reading “AI, Anyone?!”
Christmas – A Time For Giving!
Is it me or has Christmas rushed out of nowhere this year? It seems fast. Then maybe it will go part way to explaining my next point. On Sunday I visited my local low-budget supermarket. It may help my point if I submit to you that I don’t live in the more affluent suburbs ofContinue reading “Christmas – A Time For Giving!”
One Drop – A Reflection!
Warning: The sensitive subject of death and bereavement! Last month I attended the funeral of a beloved cousin, Jeff. Whilst I was sitting at the reception where we celebrated his life, I was thinking and reflecting. I don’t think this is unusual at funerals, whether it is a close relative or anyone else. Interestingly, IContinue reading “One Drop – A Reflection!”
Black History Month, UK!
October is Black History Month here in the UK. It was first introduced in October 1987 with its aim being to acknowledge and celebrate the contribution black people have made to British culture and the arts.

This reflection is the telling of the one that got away! It is not a big thing in itself but can be massive if you think about it. Recently I was in my kitchen giving it a clean, as you do, when I came across what I thought was a recent receipt for groceries. IContinue reading “Time!”

Don’t Forget To Stop And Smell The Roses!
Picture this, if you may. It’s a sunny Sunday afternoon when I decide to go out and pay a visit to my local supermarket. It shouldn’t be a big shop, but somehow I still manage to pick up more than I intended. Sound familiar? I had originally planned to stroll home and do what usContinue reading “Don’t Forget To Stop And Smell The Roses!”
Books That Inspired Films/TV Series
Writers! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see your published book adapted for a film? Yes, that same book you toiled have over and managed to publish believing that would be the end of the story (no pun intended)! Actually, a lot of what we view on TV or cinema whetherContinue reading “Books That Inspired Films/TV Series”
Adrift – No Wifi!
On Friday I was looking forward to getting on WordPress and reading some of your lovely posts when my internet conked out for no reason! All of a sudden I felt as if I were having an ‘out of body experience’ sort of thing!! I felt completely clueless regarding what to do next. Then IContinue reading “Adrift – No Wifi!”
