Your host
Not much to say, compared to exciting lives like the rest of you. But were I to put it simply:
A writer when life permits, a music and nature lover, attempted humourist, arm-chair philosopher and random road traveller… a strangely hopeful cynic first and foremost from all accounts.
I live to read, write and be merry – for who knows what tomorrow brings and as the late, great philosopher once said, “Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, and I’m going to be happy in it.” (Groucho Marx)
So if you’re willing to join me on my whimsical and somewhat meandering journey through the ins and outs of things in the world or simply need a place to laugh, cry, be amused and bemused and the like – then drop in anytime and grab a metaphorical (or literal if you prefer) drink with me and contemplate the vagaries and varieties of the world we inhabit.
Cheers.












Beautifully written.
Thank you, you’re too kind!
Hi!
Just popping in to tell you about the 100WCGU. It is a weekly challenge which runs from Tuesdays 12.01 until the following Monday 11.59.
One of the reasons for it is the limitation of wordage. One or two over is fine but not doubling plus. You use the prompt given either in it’s entirety or as a stimulus whichever is the task. It would be great to have you join us. Are you on twitter? I usually tweet the prompt out on Mondays. I’m @jfb57 if you are.
Hope to see you soon!
Hey, thanks for the info.
Unfortunately I’m not on twitter but I can be reached on this blog, just leave a comment like you have here.
The limited wordage is not a problem, just figured “no harm asking” so I guess I will participate starting from next week.
Cheers.
nice description of yourself and what the site is all about!
Many thanks! Hope you enjoy the site itself as much if not more.
Thanks for stopping by!

Dear Spider (Is that na acceptable/preferred form of address?),
Just followed you. Looking forward to reading your work. Will comment as per the comment thread where I first was introduced to you.
Aloha,

Hah!
More than acceptable Doug, pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Hope you enjoy my blog, should warn you though that I tend to have a very wandering mind so topics can be vastly disconnected and haphazard!
Many thanks for dropping by and again, hope you enjoy what you see.
Cheers!
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Hope you’ll try the 100WCGU over at Julia’s Place.
Will give it a look and try to contribute on time – I think I did once already but was too late or not able to linkback properly or something.
Thanks for the visit and the follow!
