After its brief absence, the A to Z of Writing is back. H is for Humour. Everybody likes a laugh, so why is it so difficult to get humorous short stories published (or find funny tales to read)?
Love that bottle. I read in a herbal book I have that the ladies in by- gone days use the belladonna (beautiful lady) to enhance the beauty of their eyes. Think it was to increase the pupil size?

Yes, it was. It enlarged the pupils to create that wide-eyed look that advertisers do with photoshopping nowadays.
Well I don't know what's happened to my blog. I just looked in and the 'blogs that I follow' has disappeared! How the hell did that happen - and has it happened to anyone else who uses blogger?
I've just spent the last forty minutes putting my blog list back. Pain in the neck! I still don't know why it vanished in the first place. Any theories?
Don't know why I can't comment with Wordpress all of a sudden. I've now tried to post on Claudia's, Liz's, Patsy's and Carol's websites but each time I type seaviewwarrenpoint it says "The user name should not be empty"???
Anyway, I haven't posted in a while, but here is a poem that was published on Silver Birch Poetry about the day I left Leatherhead to return to Ireland back in 2001.
What a very entertaining snapshot of your childhood, collide-o-scope. I enjoyed it but didn't comment as an email address and website details were required of me. Is there an easier way to comment?

I'm not sure, Tiny Nell - I've only just started posting on the blog again after a long absence so I'm a bit rusty as to how it all works.

I'm glad you enjoyed the piece though
I spread the good news about passing my eleven plus exam, but I had to deliver some bad news too.
