The Last Leg - Disability Lures
Introduction I am not disabled though I have a lot of health issues. A few of my friends suffer from physical disabilities such as Multiple Sclerosis, needing aid to walk, blindness and more. Many more suffer from mental illnesses including Bipolar, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Dyslexia, Agoraphobia, Autism, BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ) and many more and I always try to be there for them and to offer my support in any way that I can. Although this is not specifically about any of these I will list some helpful contact links at the end of this article.

ABBA - Voyage
The Introduction I am always wary of bands reforming and players and managers going back to football clubs. Sometimes they need the money, sometimes the fit is right and sometimes it just does not work at all. Roxy Music’s various reincarnations have all worked and Fleetwood Mac rejuvenation with Stevie Nicks and Linsay Buckingham were notable successes.

What Should I Write?
Introduction I haven’t written anything about writing and creation recently, and I have been told that I am lazy and my writing is rubbish and I post too much so nobody reads my posts. These have all been put forward as constructive criticism that I should take notice of.

A Playlist Of Places. Top Story - September 2022.
Introduction I was wondering if I could create a playlist of songs I love about places, because I love the place or have a great friend who lives there or it is just a beautiful song that makes me want to go there. We all love something that gives us a feeling of warmth, comfort and longing.

A Deck Of Cards
There were twenty two houses in her road and her house was number one. She lived alone, kept herself to herself, but helped others when she had the time and inclination. She had never been inclined to share her life with another, she loved to have quiet and be able to decide what she would do.

Comfortable Sofa Fever
This is my fourth new entry into the Vocal "Get Comfortable" Challenge I thought taking the form of an epic poem and adapting that would be a fun take on the Challenge and after my "Another Raven" which you can read at the end of this. I was confident choosing Samuel Coleridge's "Rime of The Ancient Mariner" as "Rime of The Things That Comfort Us" until I realised it is in seven parts and close to 630 lines of four line stanzas so maybe four thousand words and I don't think this that would go down well although I have maybe six weeks to stitch together, but The John Masefield poem "Sea Fever" is the model for this slice of comfortable poetry.
