“>I did this voicefile for a competition entry, which I’ve just heard was unsuccessful. I’m not surprised really, it was intended to be heard on the lovely streets of Dublin, and I sound as common as muck and frankly London. here

Until the end of April I am running 2 miles each day to raise funds towards Alzheimer’s research, in memory of my mum. If you’d like to help me reach my target £100 here’s the link. And thank you. 🙂

And it’s from Stand magazine. So that has really given me a much needed boost! The submission was sent by post near the end of December last year. I think I was feeling like casting out a hopeful line to the unknown waters of a new year. I saw the brown envelope, then realised it was a Self Addressed Envelope, on my doormat today, and was so sure it would be a kind rejection that I ripped it open quite carelessly. Definitely one of those read it twice or thrice moments but happy to report it does seem to be an acceptance of three of my poems! Due in Stand Magazine around early 2020 but time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana as Groucho Marx (I think) once said.

Really so pleased to have my first arty not poem thing published today! It’s one of my wee iPhone drawings, in Three Drops from a Cauldron amongst poems and artwork aplenty, if you want a look, see here…https://threedropspoetry.co.uk/2019/02/25/three-drops-from-a-cauldron-issue-25/
