@elizabethalker Right up your street, I reckon. BTW, I'm enjoying your book so much I'm having to ration myself to a limited number of pages

Station Yomp. A woman barks somewhat defensively into her mobile. "I haven't done the maths Clare". A café proprietor optimistically sets up outside tables & chairs in a howling gale; I can hear his teeth chattering 50 yards away. On the train a woman talks of interview upskilling & oat allergies.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Good morning dear chum. Without, I hope, overstating the case, here in one paragraph is an illustration of one of the cornerstones of civilisation. Help, learning, self-improvement, opportunities, imagination, happiness; all here. It gives me hope for the world.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Many Happy Returns on your monument/ landmark / significant / ending in '0' special day, dear chum! May your day be filled with tea, cake, love and laughter, but mainly cake.

@samvangeffen.bsky.social Good morning fella. I've got about 12 suggestions for Factory Reset, some vocal, some instro's; Do you just want the straight list or any blurb to accompany? Or would you prefer to see if you actually want to use any of them and then I can give you a few details?

@james.crid.land Good evening James (assuming you're in Brisbane). The 'follow' is much appreciated, though no offence will be taken by unfollowing as you establish that I am a rather dull fellow. I'm getting on a bit now but my age granted me the pleasure of hearing 4 great Aussie broadcasters.

@chrishawkinsdj.bsky.social You don't shake me off that easily.......
