Those were the days, or were they?
What makes you feel nostalgic?
A runny egg with toasted soldiers
Cute matching hats embroidered with “His” and “Hers”
Sledding through snow on a tin tray
Going to restaurants and not having to pay
Living the life free of worry
Never being told you have to hurry.
For what was I being trained to do
And everyday learning something new
Was to do things better than anyone else
To be ahead made so much sense
Except when I was left behind
And all I could do was remind
That in the past I had had a life
That was when you were my wife.
The End or maybe The Beginning.💘

All relationships.
In truth, in our increasingly digitised, alienised environment and dismissive dissing World any real relationship is of value because it is truly interactive and there is something to be learned from it.

If you started a sports team , what would the colours and mascot be?
A this is second time around for me, think last time I fancied a kind of jockey outfit, but not with horses ,just the outfit as the colours are usually very nice.
Perhaps the team sport of playing tag in bright orange and purple jockey gear with the peaked cap and posh riding boots( nicely polished). With my little dog as a mascot, jumping around not quite understanding the rules.

They haven’t.
How have your political views changed over time?
I’ve always been a bit confused by Politics and Politicians. They harp on about being Public Servants, but the ones that get to the top are on the whole megalomaniacs, who initially may have had a plan to do good, but with the onset of the status quo of a crashing economy, low growth prospects and aggressors coming at them from every angle , they choose the path of least resistance and the one that helps them line their pockets. Let’s face it if we were in their position we would do the same.
When I was young I was at their mercy , now I’m older I still am. Politics and Greed solve nothing. Politics and the People just causes confusion.
When did a politician ever ask you what do you want? They wouldn’t dare, even if they wanted to they could never give it to you.
Being called a great politician is like calling someone a great real estate agent. Everyone needs them but no one loves them and everyone thinks that their job is easy whereas they are at the beck and call of the market. There are potentially big gains , but then the bottom can fall out of the market just as easily as it was flying upwards when it hit a ceiling. They then look foolish and are left with no sale and no commission.
There is no requirement to trust a politician, because you simply can’t . They have a system and they are part of it. What the people want or need is irrelevant and perhaps all they are is a necessary evil, elected individuals whom may have won fairly or unfairly. There should be legislative structures in place to protect us from their corrupt actions, but these can be dismantled and are hard to replace once they have gone.
When the people are not represented we still have Politicians, and those Politician’s will insist that they are protecting democracy. They are not , they are protecting themselves and their hangers on.

There is no Perfect Space
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?
Reality is there is no perfect space, there are always irritants. The light is wrong, the boiler blew up , your perfect room has no heating. The red marker has exploded all over your desk and stained your favourite napkin which you use to wipe your lips after slurping your home made soup for lunch. Today you forgot to defrost the soup so not only is your bright white napkin covered in bright red blobs , but you have no lunch.
The battery on your lap top is dying, you have unpaid bills and your cat has just decided to poo in the corner as you forgot to clean out the litter tray downstairs.
The cleaner left in disgust three weeks ago and the windows are beginning to rattle as the frames are rotting due to condensation and the force 10 gale outside.
Your ideal writing space that once was, is desolation, however, there is one thing that will never change, you have a notebook and you are jotting down ideas. Now that is perfection.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
What is your all time favourite Automobile?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a novel by Ian Fleming who also wrote the “James Bond novels” made into a film starring along with the Car , the now Centenarian Dick Van Dyke.
The Car took centre stage and would have to be my favourite automobile ever. Although Herbie the VW comes close.

By just being.
How are you creative?
Everyone and all the life that is on Earth and probably the Universe is creating all the time, cells are continuously renewing , so I’m just part of that package and it’s not a bad feeling.

Little Hovel
So what are the biggest influences in my life? Are they who’s or what’s? I think they are both. They are both part of my D.N.A and also part of my experience.
But Little Hovel, is my home and it’s where I can be myself and not have intrusions or distractions that modern life thrusts upon us. Perhaps my D.N.A and my experience taught me that Little Hovel is where the heart is.
