your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!

Hiya Jan, I'm fine. A short piece purely aimed at assholes in society that through their misery they make others not smile. Me, I smile daily like a Cheshire Cat :) - hugs James xx
