Well. TY sooooooo much YT for ensuring that this is STILL … The lesson always repeated but never learned. The Abused will STILL be abused.

Shit […]

Yesterday was one of those days where I KNEW that somethings were missing. Youngest son’s complicated Burrito recipe. “Mother. You’ve forgotten the lime.” Lighting the woodburner. “Ooops. I forgot the kindling.” Driving the car. “Oh. The keys would help.” Today is different. Foggy morning with the most beautiful Barn Owl gliding silently across my garden […]

I love this Agatha Christie book. But – it’s one of the very few David Suchet Poirot episodes that I wasn’t so fond of. Anyhoos. Ever writer knows about the Three Acts. They form every single story. A part of the craft that MUST be studied and understood. If I may be so forward (!?) […]
