a stab in the back
enemies circling
time to attack

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

You want to come and live here ,we have the the police around here quite often, women fighting over a man, very loudly in the street, all over Faccebook apparently, and a 16 year old girl getting smacked around the head with a metal baseball bat! The man in question of course, buggered off as soon as it all kicked off! ALL the neighbours out on the square. Me being a classy bird looked out from behind my nets!

Ah, we used to live somewhere very similar… much quieter now. Mine’s a more metaphorical ghetto than a real one, at least!

Ha! Oh, there are even worse areas around here, we are reasonably lucky! 🙂

Horror movie material, Al. Two creepy little girls playing jump rope outside a crumbling church.

They’ll talk about men being scary but women, can be downright evil. Or so I have been told…

I think among my followers there are a couple of serial killers who have not yet been caught, and a couple who’d help me hide the bodies should I go down that career path… I’ll let you work out which ones are which!

Scary image and followers, Al. I’m glad my followers are loving and kind, so far. Ha ha! Of course, one did block me and I haven’t a clue why. Such is virtual life.

I’m just joking about the followers (whispering behind hands – well, most of them)… 🙂
I did have a falling out with one follower about a year ago that was quite upsetting at the time. She’d got the wrong idea about something I’d posted, taking personal offence at something that wasn’t aimed at her. People may like or not like what I write, but I don’t really blog about controversial topics, so it did take me by surprise. As you say, such is virtual life. If I could host a virtual garden party, with plentiful wine, and obviously lots of cake, I’d invite every one of my current followers without hesitation!
