THE END of Writing Challenge 2024
DAY 30/30 #WC24 — THE END — #writing those two #words, whether to signal the completion of a #novel or a #writing #challenge, are always fraught with ambiguity.
On the one hand, sadness that this time together has ended; on the other hand, a sense of achievement that we stayed committed and #wrote every day.
Well done to all of us.
After today’s writing target has been met it’s time to re Read more of this blog post »

A sweet, enjoyable book that kept me wanting to read more. Janice and her cleaning clients made a lovely community (even the awful Tiberius added flavour!) and, even as a die-hard cat lover, I couldn’t help liking the cheeky fox terrier. The telling o ...more |

“The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.”

Judy, Hi, thank you so much for reaching out. I'm delighted to be a friend. I couldn't help but notice you were born in Zimbabwe. When I was a young fellow of 18, living in London, and Zimbabwe was still known as Southern Rhodesia, I went out to SR to work as an editorial assistant on a business magazine in Salisbury, as it then was. Love and blessings to you.
Thanks Judy, take care of yourself ok.......
Hello, Judy.I've just watched Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown in South Africa. I have to say, South Africa is a very interesting country. It is a very good episode.
All the best for 2012 to you and your family too, Georges!
