The death of a child (SAD)
Actually, not just sad, but devastating. Effing horrible. So just stop now if you can't deal with that sort of thing today.
You see, this isn't about the death of just one child, but two. And their parents. It's been all over the news in our parts. An entire family and/… Read full post »
Recessions and riding schools
Some people just look good on horseback. I was about seven when I first started riding lessons. Although I am a bit unclear now about the year, I still remember the horse: a big bay mare named Bucky. She was supposedly difficult. I thought she was delightful. At Foxfield they start… Read full post »
A first on Valentine's Day
She is organised and I can tell right off the bat that this isn't her first tango. Early on, she lets us know that she likes to use a videocamera in her work, but only if we are alright with it. Soon, we get down to business and once again I… Read full post »

I have grown old enough… Read full post »
Victoria Vitrix/Royalist for a Day

A mother's lament
- made to hold you
From hip to hip,
Diaphragm to pubic bone,
Puckered skin sags sadly,
Remembering the cadence of you feet
What you are, I once was
We are of the same source,
Cells,
Yet not
One
With each passing day,
Hard as I may try,
My feet r…
In Meowmoriam
Born sometime in the late 1980s or early '90s, Missan was a part of the package when we bought our house at Berchshill. Due to an inability to get along with our other cats and a strong aversion towards our old dog, Hoshi,/…

Michelle has finally returned to drawing pictures when given pen and paper, and does all her "writing" on the computer these days. What's even better is that her drawings have subjects - spiders with big, sharp teeth:
