I haven't written for months, but a prompt on IG got me to write this poem. Not sure if there is any interest over here but here we go!

What was good today was going grocery shopping, buying all the ingredients for a chicken based pasta bake and then realising, when I got home, I had bought all the ingredients EXCEPT the chicken! All because I had forgotten to add it to my list & my brain can only follow THAT list!! 😭

I do wish there was a little more interaction here sometimes. I don't want to be overwhelmed but sometimes I do feel a little lonely as I post. I suppose I need to interact more myself but you only have so much time.
Anyhow I just wanted to speak into the void just for my own head

Well why not the Dexys Midnight Runners' cover of "Seven Days Too Long"? From a wonderful album that my old boss used to play loads! Great tune!
