I think ‘back’ might be pushing it, Deb. But it was nice to get something on paper - so to speak. For lack of new ideas I keep tweaking my slush pile to no avail. Just about managed to get a Rum and Raisin episode presentable…. Everything else is about ready for the delete button. Glad you enjoyed this tiny glimmer of light ;-)

Even staying in bed is a decision. I don’t think I will be wealthy, with years of clues…lol.

Always time, Kim. I’m putting my faith in the National Lottery. I just need to decide to buy a ticket!

Perfect rhymes, perfect ending. Feels like a weener!

Same here. I can't write under compulsion. I just have to wait till something inspires me

Thanks, Tom. Im rarely (never) accused of undue brevity so I wasn’t sure I’d be up for this contest. But the fog cleared momentarily, allowing me to give it a go. Been a little ‘blocked’ lately so it’s good to get something down. Terry
