My Poetry, My opinion and a Kalashnikov!
This December the book I have been writing, un-writing, swearing at and crying at finally gets published properly. I have tried self publishing with very little success or skill. A move which should have been thought out much, much better. The result was poor. Now the renouned publisher 'Austin Macauley' have taken my book and turned it into something to be very proud of, in my opinion. Yes, I did pay for the service but the skill they have put into the design of my work is great.

Why do we need a Government?. AI-Generated.
This is a picture. It is what it promises to be. A picture. We know because we are intelligent (ha,ha) beings that if we see an Island or two that there is obviously going to be water around it and possibly boats, sea birds and possibly people swimming or fishing. A simple black and white photograph which can lead you to imagine and believe so many different things, just by looking!

Back Billing Farce - SMART?
nbIt was announced this week that utility (Gas and Electric mainly) debt is getting worse and worse by the day. Or is it? In the United Kingdom right now the 2 main SMART used by our utility suppliers are called SMET 1 & 2. The whole point of having SMART meters installed in your homes was to take away the need to provide meter readings yourself. For many people it’s the only way they can submit readings due to where they live, for example, if you live within say, 20 miles of an airport, getting a SMART meter to send correct reads is something of a trial and error.

The I-phone Photographer. AI-Generated.
40 years ago I studied photography in college, to be exact it was in the old girls school, Llwyn-Yr-Bryn. Half our course was looking at the birth and history of photography and the other it was the practical side. It was 5 days a week learning about everything to do with the medium. Normally on a Monday our lecturer Angelo would give us a project for the week.

Too Much for our kid's to deal with.. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
This year I will be fifty-seven years old. From the age of three months until I left home properly at twenty-one, I say properly because I left several times for far fetched riches and soon went back, for all of those formative years I along with my brother and school friends lived on one of the roughest and poorest council estates in Swansea. It was the 1970's and we loved it.

Home from War at last. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Home from War ( The Twenty Two) “I walked most of the way home, there was a train from Portsmouth up to Cardiff but that was it. I started walking up past the Castle, Cardiff Castle, it starting pissing down, at least no one will see the tears running down my face. I cried all the way up to Whitchurch Rd, Smithy's Dad was buying wheat he was going to give us a lift back to Swansea”

Do you believe in God. AI-Generated.
Do you believe in God? I was recently asked if I believed in God. This is my answer….. At the same moment the Japanese Imperial Empire attacked the American Naval base at Pearl Harbour the world was also delivered of a beautiful baby girl. It was December 1941. My mother Ethel Pauline Ellis was born on the 8th December to Alice and Thomas Ellis. She was the last born of seven children.
