My Christmas story. A thread. Sorry. If you hate threads, or Christmas, or just me, then feel free to mute.
This is a story from Christmas 2019, the first Christmas after my daughter started at uni.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

“I had to phone someone, so I picked on you”.
That moment, when David Bowie, performing “Starman” in 1972 on Top Of The Pops, pointed at a watching camera & thousands of kids watching the show imagined he was looking right out at them.

Poetry is where I feel happiest now - I am not ashamed to be either rhyming or free verse - not ashamed to be woke - not afraid to connect without artifice

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:
"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."
The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!
