Retired, but the world is an interesting place. Dogs, books 📚, politics, eclectic music taste. Love food and drink, slovovica and travel. Order of preference may change dependant on mood.

I am not better off, the bills still need to be paid, but I am happier, or more content, under a Labour government. Shit is easier to deal with when you don't have to listen to Tories, ad museum.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds
And in order to listen to the birds, the warplanes must be silent.

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.

Flowers? Chocolates? No, the best way to say I love you is roast potatoes. #CookWithIsh
(One potato cut open to show you the mash like middle. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Armadillos).
