I'm in a little rut at the moment. Inspiration is sulking in a corner. I've argued with Sandwiches about actual sandwiches and written half-formed plot ideas on my hand. Tolkien's commentary on Beowulf isn't conquered yet. A sci-fi has been DNF'd. And ... I'VE DONATED BOOKS TO A CHARITY SHOP. Why these books? Lemme explain… Continue reading lemonade and sandwiches

Commas and Archbishops: a ramble
I caught a bus the other day and was chatting to its driver. In the course of our conversation it was rather disconcerting to be asked 'if there was anything coming that way' when he was at a junction. He was a lovely chap though, even if I did spend the rest of my ride… Continue reading Commas and Archbishops: a ramble
