Readin’ and writin’ have always been easier for me than ‘rithmetic, so I write stories and poems, make an occasional video, and recently started sketching. This blog’s my creative outlet. I hope you find something here you like.

"I know what you mean" St John squeaked. "I mean, where are the women? We came here for a night of sybaritic pleasure and no totty about. Not a sausage. I was so looking forward to putting the pedal to the metal, if you know what I mean."

But it won’t make the snow disappear and I don’t think it will make the train come any sooner.”

The runes were cast and these are what the gods came back with - a black cat, a lightning bolt, a light bulb, an eye, a question, a footprint, an abacus, a compass and a magic wand - see the picture! I did my best with this meagre material... so here is my offering!
