Congrats Jan, on what seems effortless and natural in composition, with poignancy, but I'm sure otherwise in terms of effort. Bob

Well said, Jan... a pervasive problem. How do you ever trust someone who is a habitual liar?

Once trust is broken it is hard to take anything they say seriously, the quote is perfect for someone in my family - love the avatar!!:-( hugs Jan xx

Self-deception is an addiction that doesn't fool those who see through the sham. What's it take to bring such a person to face reality? The truth. Well wishes in the contest, Jan.

Well written Jan, that idiot came to mind before I saw your comment to Rico, it's an utter shambles and has been since the start. Oh, his second trip was to test his eyes, you couldnt make it up. Good luck Tom

I couldn't believe the gall of the man =- he needs his head examining as well as his eyes oh and the visit just happened to coincide with his wife's birthday - it beggars belief... makes me so glad i am not in the UK!!!

Linda so glad you are back you have been so missed, hope you are posting another one of your gems - I was inspired to write this after listening to one of the British politicians who has been found to be seemingly breaking lock down rule. am SO happy to see you:-) hugs Jan xx
