Title : Fiddely Laces

I'm afraid my inventions are all sort of Heath Robinson I'm afraid. I've never made a penny out of any of them. I thought I would have hit it big with Rono P-Mc-Matic-Musical-Lawn-Sprinkler-Fetrilizer. But it went unnoticed. Look out for it in Dragons Den and all good Ronco P-Mc-Matic-Musical-Lawn-Sprinkler-Fetrilizer shops near you.

The fun to be had is watching my physio try and catch me as we go through my balancing exercises.

This is first visit since catheter fitted, so hold the front page Lin there may be a poem about water on the knee/physios/squats coming very soon.

I would be interested in the book. We compiled a recipe book at work and it all worked out well, the local printer did it in pamphlet form. I am trying to trawl back to find a poem I specially liked.

Just got back from Spain!

My two lines:

Parky shuffle, muscles ache, side effects and limbs tremble
Good, it means I’m not dead, the rest is incidental.


Love Titans line for the Title.

May I offer whatever support is required. This is a truly important project. You guys write some of the best poetry I have ever had the good fortune to read, believe me it is one of my passions.

Lin, you are not alone.

Hi Lin

Thank you for all your hard work in putting this book together. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished tome.

PD can make life quite chaotic
Writing I find is rather carthartic
