Thrilled to have you there, Paul!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much, Roger - @oormilaprahlad.bsky.social is a wonder!

Thanks so much, Marcelle, for all your support. Lxx

Ah, thanks, Paul (and thanks to @hool415.bsky.social for bigging it up!). Look forward to seeing you soon!

You read for the one for National Creativity Day on 31 May, Mark. I think that was the second 'offical' #LastSaturday - which thanks to the encouragement of @jlmmorton.bsky.social, who read on 29 March, is now a regular and wonderful thing in my life!

Also, @louisepoetical.bsky.social has got the length of her regular poetry evenings spot on. If you have, say, five guest readers, each performing four poems, 70-80 minutes is the perfect amount of time for everyone attending. There are definitely some poetry reading hosts who could learn from this.

Thanks for saying this, Mark. It's perfect for me - as I was saying at the start, I'm a bit rubbish as it gets towards 9.00pm (basically "bedtime") so I'm glad it works for others, too. It's also been great to work out how different poetry voices work well together.

Thank *you*, Marcelle, for all your support.
