Back from a little trip down to the opthalmology (cor that's a horrible word to type) department at Canterbury hospital. I now have three lots of eyedrops to use each day!
Horror of horrors. Hubby and daughter had to get their own breakfast and packed lunches today 'cos I had to go out early. I am too, too soft!
Canterbury full of the usual hordes of foreign students roaming in packs.
Am being 'headhunted' by local community group for help with ideas for fundraising and events.
Out of the loop lately though. Up until last year was involved with local am-dram group. Along with husband am responsible for such epic productions as
Monty Python's Life of Brian and Holy Grail and Terry Pratchett's Mort and Guards' Guards. (I was 'woman with donkey in 'Brian') Only a walk on part with one line. I do not usually get on the stage in front of the audience except for scurrying around to set change dressed in black.
In the past I have produced, stage managed, blagged props, built sets, managed front of house and run bookings and publicity. I have also run a series of music gigs. Am planning a blues night at the moment.

Have the itch for 'putting on a show' again though. Would like to do Birdcage, Young Frankinstein or Dangerous Liasons.

He wants to do Jeffrey Barnard Is Unwell or The Ruling Class.

Hey, if you want to read more of my poetry, along with the work of other poets then visit us on

I am now the manager of this site and can also be found on the excellent BBC Get Writing site.

My teddy bear, Pink Mary sits on my desk and tries to help me find inspiration for poems! She is a sweet little thing who I found in the bottom of a basket of odds and ends in a charity shop. 20p paid and she came home in my pocket!
Oh, and I got my hubby out of the local paper. 'Would Like To Meet' column.

The rest of the day? I will mostly be readin' and crittin poems'
Ta, ta.
