Well this is nice, exorcising those late night thoughts. I find I sleep a little better and certainly I feel at home creatively. 'When tomorrow imposes itself on today, defy the portent and slander fate, rebuff the shamans and mystics' prophecy, tomorrow's a mystery the future; a philosophy.' Good night all, sleep tight.
This is a post for those bedtime thoughts, when you're settling down for a peaceful night and there's just one or two things left on your mind you still need to purge before you can surrender to sleep.

Well, if you've … Continue reading How To Own The World – Andrew Craig #Book Review
Harbinger of "instant" coffee With meandering gratification No refuge from the eternal colleague on first A young go-getter at the tender age of three Spousal collisions in the kitchen Jostling for position in front of the kettle The toaster, the fridge, the bread bin And the ever present danger of chores on 'break'. There's been … Continue reading WFH #Poem
This week's prompt is Need. As in, its been ages since I last posted and need to write something. P.s I'm actually a little late for the dead line it seems, but thought I would post anyway, rather than let it waste away in the draft pile :p Need you like stories need endings.
