11.Travel Thwarted & ReImagined(Friday 04th of July 2008 11:46:42 AM 4 days, 15 hours ago )
Well, as dry bread crumbles, so all my travel plans to criss cross the globe have seemingly come to nought. I will have to content myself with a few musings on my travels between Oldham, Rochdale and Manchester. I had thought ASDA had 24 hour opening. Not so...
12.Another Thing (05-07) Performing(Friday 04th of July 2008 06:53:31 AM 4 days, 20 hours ago )
A note that didn't make it onto the blog; crowded-out you know; press of other matters/stuff. It occurred around 01-07
Performing is like sex. In so far that anybody can do it. Only a few perform with consummate skill. Where this has relevance - I'm wondering the extent to which...

15.Another Thing(0307)(Thursday 03rd of July 2008 10:48:23 AM 5 days, 16 hours ago )
A most welcome submission to the inbox these past couple of days was writeoutloud; at www.writeoutloud.net something like that. Crammed full of poetry events, a very worthwhile bunch to link up with. I've been to a couple of their gigs in Wigan(quick cheap and easy to get to by rail...
16.Another Thing (02-07)(Wednesday 02nd of July 2008 08:04:52 PM 6 days, 7 hours ago )
Well; life being as it is, this next is (possibly) vaguely predictable
Well. Today I was in the library selecting from Pablo Neruda's works to take home. The chance of such a thing becoming a habit is truly unlikely I reckon. Just occurred to one. There's a poster about mentioning...

18.Another thing (01-07)(Tuesday 01st of July 2008 10:05:36 AM 1 week ago )
It's the matter of reading. What one, or this one reads.
Will I read another novel?
Regardless of the provocation I wonder when or if I'll read a novel.
Once I loved, adored them: Steinbeck; this other, boy! no better escape or adventure. Couriousish but no interest at all whatever....

19.Another thing (29 June)(Sunday 29th of June 2008 07:47:05 PM 1 week, 2 days ago )
(I had meant to include at this point a web address where apparently they pay for short prose pieces. The info isn't to hand immediately. I know where I can get it from (again). Then you'll know)
Continuing from the last entry, GIVING, yes I have had more of these...

20.Migration Stories Search(Friday 27th of June 2008 11:39:42 AM 1 week, 4 days ago )
