Simon, Thank you for coming over. A few words to the wise from your mother (I shall keep it brief). 1. Your Dad has not slept since the roof blew off his shed. He may keep going for a lie down, but this is different to sleep. Do not poke the bear.

Pop! Goes the We-Easel. Winner in Maps of the Self Challenge.
Welcome to your (Dis) Orientation I hope you are wearing something that wipes down. A pair of waders and a waterproof coat with a drawstring hood would not be too extreme. There is much to digest here. Simply cooking this stuff up, I have found myself dribbling.

My Top Five Reads This Year. Top Story - November 2025.
Introduction I have read a lot this year, far more than I have written, and I feel that the literal soaking that has happened (pun wholly intended) has benefited me enormously as a writer.

THE FLOOR IS YOUR FRIEND. Top Story - July 2025.
In case of emergency. When fears threaten faculty. The floor is your friend. Through ALL the mists of absurdity. There is a constant shore-of-surety. The floor is your friend. Take a helping hand from gravity. Crouch down and breathe steadily. The floor is your friend. Kneel, should you feel trembly. Alarm reduces with connectivity. The floor is your friend. Close your eyes to reduce sensitivity. Feel the wood, stone, tile with acuity. The floor is your friend. Soak in the glory of its solidity; a tonic of stoic sensibility. The floor is your friend. Enjoy the respite from insanity. Relax in edge-to-edge familiarity. The floor is your friend. The beneath-your-feet remedy: Mother Nature's gift for stability. The floor is your friend. Cuddle into its enormity. Become one with a planetary entity. The floor is your friend. Anchor to universal perpetuity. No longer a singularity. The floor is your friend. Drift, a mere twitch inside an eternity. A grain within a galaxy The floor is your friend. Feel the peace of enduring constancy. And be. Breathe. Just be. The floor is your friend.
