Did not see this coming It’s been a year folks. I have a note from the teacher. I’ve been sick. No temperature or disease, Sniffles or cough, no pain, but a lot of aches. Mostly in my tummy and heart. Butterflies bumping into each other, fluttering as much as my heart does. There is a …
February 2022 I will write this blog twice a week. February 2023 List of excuses why I didn’t write twice a week. There you have it. That’s all I have. I let life stuff get in the way of writing life stuff. It’s a year and 2 days since I accidently gave up drinking alcohol. …
Here is a sad story or is it? Dave beamed at the newly decorated room and freshly polished floor. He patted little Stevie on his sandy mop of hair while sipping his earl grey. “I think we have done an amazing job lad. Couldn’t have done it without you” Dave and Stevie did a synchronised …
Yes, it’s been a while. I’m still alive and filling up my days trying to do nothing until something crops up and crops up it does, far too often for my liking. A good friend of mine has a do-nothing day but she keeps herself busy with something. Sitting in the middle of a forest …
Yes, it’s been a while. Did you think I would never write to you again? Did you think it was all over and that I had found another follower? I have tried writing to you but as soon as I start to type I feel that you won’t believe what I am about to say, …
It’s been a week since I last posted. I have been neglecting my duties as a blogger with followers in the tens. I have nearly achieved a lot since I last darkened your screen. Nearly booked a flight to Barbados (I still may go). Nearly bought a campervan. Nearly won the jackpot on the lottery…three …
I had to put myself into quarantine for a day last Sunday. Self-isolated until the dreaded ‘C’ word weighed less heavy on my soul. Yes, I suffered from watching a ‘Calamity’ as Italy whooped Wales’s butt. Oh, how I cringe when I recall every moment. Loss of smell? No! Loss of bowel movement? Yes. Loss …
Before I do a rant. There is a new short story on my website called ‘School Report’. I laughed a lot writing it. That’s what floats my boat as you know. It’s a humorous look at some feedback on a character’s yearly report to his parents which is destined never to be read. Take a …

Flash Fiction very short story that will make you go Hmmmmm Pause. The sun peeped out from behind a dark cloud and felt my face. I think it knew. It found something shiney for me on a park bench and reflected itself into my eyes. Compelled to see what it was, I left the puddles …
Well, what a false start to the new year this has been. Something bugged me deeply for a few days, my mind was showing so many scenarios of how the situation I was in would pan out. I eventually took on board that the outcome would never be as bad as all the time I …
Hello all, Just going to wrap up at the library. Its Tuesday the 21st of December and I am the only one here. I have a tonne of stories bouncing around in my head and trying to get out for Christmas. I’m going to take a well not earned break and leave them there till …
Ok Folks, here’s one to set you up for Christmas. It has rather tasty language. Boxing Day. Through an ice webbed window of Father Christmas’s cottage, a little helper on a fag break spied Santa plying Rudolf with brandy. After slamming down seven more shots, they staggered out into the diamond strewn sky on the …
Yes, dear reader. It is true. I found myself in Casualty yesterday, I was left out in the cold and made to hang around for ages. Worst thing was I was dressed for the spring and wasn’t allowed to put anything warm on. The morse astute of you may have already guessed finally got an …
The tantrum the child was throwing in the confectionery aisle was so spectacular that I just had to stop and watch. I offered his mother to buy her son whatever he was after if I could film the meltdown. She told me to fuck off and wouldn’t let me explain what viral meant. In the …
So, all you followers (sixteen of you) have probably not been wondering where I have been for the last week. I did mention it in a previous post but as only one of you (me) really cares I will remind you. I have been the very capable hands of some amazing people at the Hurt …
Tantrum in a Supermarket. Before I post the short 250-word story here I thought I would bring you up to date with a couple of achievements I have pooped out in my writing. I have been published in another online magazine with my story’ Unnecessary necessary’ in Flash Fiction North magazine https://www.flashfictionnorth.com/recentfiction. Bear in mind …
I am going to blog post my new stories as well as stick them on my story page.( Note the strong manly tones of that statement ). Caught Cheating David had been skipping his lunch at work. He would be so hungry by dinner time that he could stomach the meals that his wife of …
Here I am again back in prison. I was let out for 3 days only to be caught for grammar and bad spelling infringements and dragged back kicking and screaming. They have put me in a cell with people who have got tens of thousands of followers on their blogs. People who never have to …
Yes folks, you heard it here first. I finally made the big time. Filming in Shepton Mallet for a new TV show…read below… As I have been sworn to secrecy for the major part of the following adventure, I can’t reveal all. You’ll see why shortly I have been in prison. I went in on …
