It’s a beautiful morning
Mild and still
Bird singing softly
On my windowsill
But my head is in agony
I’m trying to sleep
SHUT UP! little birdie
Or I’ll tape up your beak!
True story! Drink responsibly, fun lovers 🙂

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.

Hi, D! Thank you, I am well. Sore of head, but well 🙂
Have still been writing recently, just not on the blog. Christmas micropoems on twitter is my current “thing”! 🙂
Happy holidays! x

Medicinal bacon is a must! I do see you around but I miss your writing. Were you doing NaNo?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I think it’s more accurate to say that NaNo did me! It was just too much for me, on top of full time job and family… Plus other writing competitions. I did get 16K words down at least… For a poet/haiku-ist, that’s a fuck of a lot!

I don’t have work parties or any parties going on in our lives right now, but I recognize the feeling… from the day after we went wine tasting. I was just thinking about you this morning when I woke up, wondering whether you’d be ready to blog again soon. Funny!

Thank goodness it wasn’t a Robin! They spy on us and fly off and tell Father Christmas what we’ve been up to. Beware the Robin.
