Books and cats and rock and roll. And I fiddle about with creative writing here... https://www.abctales.com/user/turlough And I fiddle about with photography here... https://www.instagram.com/turloughomaolain/ But beware, my profile picture is old...

You could sing this to the tune of Fog on the Tyne...

Sitting in a seaside snack bar
Sam Fender singing favourite songs
Thoughts wandering to Brighton
I see a woman on the seashore
The very place she belongs

Yes, that was desperately sad. Feline Infectious Peritonitis... incurable. We now have eight cats and two dogs, all rescued from the streets. We'd have more but three other cats disappeared on separate occasions. What do you have in your menagerie?

I'm still in the same place, four kilometres outside Tarnovo. My partner has been living with me the past six years. She's French and was renting a house in another nearby village when I met her. Together we put long hours of work into our garden and we too rescue animals.

It's an old picture Rayne, taken forty-seven years ago.

We did indeed meet in Draganovo way back then. How are you keeping, and are you still in Bulgaria?

Here comes the snow again
Falling on my head like a haemorrhoid
Falling on my head like a huge irritation
I want to walk in the summer sun
I want to talk like plumbers do
Want to dive under my duvet
Is it snowing with you?

If Carlsberg did art!

They should give you some cash for advertising their products.

The princess and the pea.

Also known as my lady Penka.

Unfortunately, today there's an unpleasant link between the words Penka and pea.

Is it writer's block or is it writers' block? If it's the latter I won't feel so alone.

Thank you for the explanation. That's reassuring.

My sister's called Bev Brown but I don't think you're her. I'm a bit new to this. I think we all are. Sorry to have disturbed you but I was just a bit curious.

Apparently Bluesky is the new and better alternative to Twitter / X but I can't see what they're doing to stop it becoming the same as the old. I'm new to this (only a member for a matter of hours) so perhaps I've missed something.

The young lady assistant in the pet food shop had false fingernails that appeared to be wooden. She looked like she had ten of those pencils you get free in Ikea attached to her hands. I wanted to ask if it was painful when wiping her bum but I couldn’t remember the Bulgarian word for splinters.

Thank you our Paul. I only found out about this place this morning. It's nice to know I'm not alone here.
