NINE WORDS FOR A THURSDAY AFTERNOON* Nine words for a Thursday afternoon, if not necessarily The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols,Conjure up illusions and visions of Goodness knows what!I'm lost for words other than to say, the Number Nine itself Is what Bingo-callers call Doctor's Orders;In which case, I fear and feel I ...

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO CHANGE MY LIFE;I'M LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE IN MY LIFE. Today I feel lonely and aloneNow that Philippe is no longer by my side,Each day I wake after struggling to get off to sleepNo longer feeling on top, but often at the bottom, of the heap.A heap of what one may ask,Nothing special, only worry; main...

After all too quickly spending fifty thousand pounds this time last weekToday, or rather for a short period this afternoon,It is time for reflection.Time to stand or rather to sit still, and appreciate the simple thingsWhich, more than last week's fictional win on the National Lottery, bring one joy.What, pray, are these simp...
