Definitely a clog in the line somewhere. Sounds like a domestic nightmare. Hope you resolve it soon.

I found your explanation eye opening, inspiring and comforting in many ways. You have made the most in a difficult situation. Extremely polarizing events are happening in my country that make me question if I ever really knew some of my friends and family members or even what my country stood for. I

It had to happen I’ve just found someone copying my icon idea. It had to happen I just don’t understand how F’ing lacking in moral fiber some artists are. The bummer is they have more followers than I do so they are getting thousands of likes to my hundreds but at least I know that mine are genuine

Please help me! I’m on X because that’s where my paintings sell. I shift about 95% of my work there. If I could just get my followers up to the same level here, it would release me from the swamp. I live in the middle of nowhere so I rely on social media to share & show my work.

Liza, your work is amazing. I follow you on both sites and have a hope of coming to Wales at some point and purchasing something from you.

Today’s #1000Postcards is The bullfinch family, generation after generation have lived here. Their wheezy calls can be heard drifting from the old fruit Orchard. The gentle giant of the Finch world with their bull necks and shy behaviour make them one of my favourite #Birds.

A wren sings in the cold morning air her song a little white vapour against a gold background

A wren sings in the cold morning air her song a little white vapour against a gold background

On such a cold and frosty morning, every living thing longs for the Sun to rise. I hear the wren calling, and see her song in the cold morning air

The Englishman Who Went Up a Mountain
But Came Down Ill
Β 
My great-uncle Jack,
hypochondriac and mountain-lover,
was forever coming down
with summit or other.
Β 
Going up was no better.
He was constantly under the weather,
right under it, and as he climbed
so did his temperature.
Β 
Sometimes he’d get crampon
the way. Then, with a craggy smile,
he might ask if we could stop
and everest for a while.
Β 
But it was near the top
when he always felt most peaky.
He had an altitude problem,
according to his G.P.,
Β 
who wrote him a prescription
for a bottle of pills,
saying if they didn’t work,
then he should stick to molehills.
Β

It’s International Mountain Day, so today’s poem celebrates that. It’s called β€˜The Englishman Who Went Up a Mountain and Came Down Ill’.

This poem, entitled 'Needles' is presented in the form of a Christmas tree. These words form the shape of the tree:
 
I
wrote
a poem
in the shape
of a Christmas
tree but then forgot
to water it and only a few

days
later
there

And these words are distributed around the base of my poem 'tree' as if they've fallen off it:

were
words
all
over
the                                                      carpet
