Time for a little flash fiction, started one particularly miserable night in The Bay. A dominant theme that threaded through, like an insidious vine, the whole co-habitation experience. Misery. It takes two. Months later, returning to Mount Rhodes to move … Continue reading

I live much of my life in a deep sea of irony… which seems to be the best way for the Universe to ensure it has my undivided (so help me gods!) attention. I believe in the existence of Love … Continue reading
