There appears to be unusual space phenomenon appearing when Eric looks at the moon (See previous posts …’What IS that’ ‘BEJEEZUS’ and ‘ITS THERE AGAIN!!!?’)…I have NO idea what they are …I’ve cleaned his lens …TWICE ….there doesn’t look to be any specs of dust ……ANYWAY it’s quite reassuring to think these guys are out there isn’t it …as I say to my kids …keep your senses open, believe in magic and keep a little spirit of 3 :D:D:D

OMG your scaring me now ….hmmmm ….if I disappear over the next few days I might have been abducted …if it happens PorterGirl I’ll find some way of communicating to you what it’s like up there ….folk might think you’re insane …the secret is to not LOOK as if you are then you will be ok 😉
Thing is I’ve seen your blog …particularly your rehearsal so I think you might struggle a bit with that one:D:D:D

Hahaha! Convincing people I am not insane will indeed be tricky 😉 However, rest assured I will mount a daring rescue attempt, should you be abducted. Think what a great blog post you can write when we return!!

No, seriously. I’ve had a very weird day so I buggered off out of the city on a train, for a day, to sit in a quiet country pub and think. What I’ve told you is true. I’ve helped this lady with her writing. I won’t comment on her in such a public forum but, if you want to email me, you can do it from the Pigeon Post drop down page on my blog site. I’m not taking the piss, having a giraffe or anything else, I’m freaked out.

You write, someone reads. It’s a two way relationship. What the reader gets out of what you write is not always what you intended. Readers provide new and different perspectives. You learn from criticism/critique

There are lots of bloggers who are not writers, who want to post pictures of cats, encouraging affirmations, photos of their exotic holidays and fair play to them. You write about a whole range of things and I read them and enjoy reading them. They’re potential readers to me so I get involved and comment on their posts and I’ve done the courses, too. But I’m a writer. I write. I don’t hide that or pretend I want to do anything else.
