I loved reading this.  Such a good read, and such interesting characters.  Wonderful job, silent lotus.

excellent.  i love the ramblings of the first portion
and the twist in S3 with the cruise, a well charted
course, Captain.

dear Tom

glad you enjoyed those two items of bare essentials

portraits can otherwise at times stretch over to the back of the canvas

still loving this, SL. between the "maybe it had been too spontaneous" in S1 to the "Well maybe" when "it felt right" in the last, a thoroughly enjoyable sendup of a kind of personal freedom that makes every decision just too damn important! Tom

dear Tiko

that you find the ramblings of the voice from the documentary satisfying is for me
a great tip of the hat.......and i am glad that the different destinations found their way
to varying dimensions on the chart.

many thankyuus

dear Milner

no need to apologize .....i've heard rumors that Maisie has been tearing pages out of PC
....folding them in eights and using them as book markers in the pages of Paradise Lost.

i'm glad though that you did get a chance to see the poem and that it brought some pleasure.

if Maisie continues such shenanigans, know you most probably can find a copy of my poems in journalese

here we are again
looking forward behind our backs
loved it by the way, Chasan


they rang me, could I do that moorish stuff,
wots all the rage with the Thomas Cook clientele
I said, wot like this you mean:

why yes, they wrote back, will the girl come extra

I particularly like the deliberate overload of qualifications and the irony of "spontaneous"

Must rush. I'm off to get my copy of Aramaic Today before they're all sold out.
