I find myself on the last day of April admitting defeat. Unfortunately pressure of work, family commitments and the builders gutting my kitchen a week earlier than expected (aarrggghhh) mean that I have hit my creative brick wall again. I suppose I could have cheated and just posted some poems that I had in hand, […]
Another day, another marker. Nonetheless I have to read through the anagrams that the generator made of my name so it will take a. bit of thinking time
