Couldn't agree more! I write my stuff by hand, as I prefer it, but then have to put it on the computer as it is unreadable!
I like a real pen not a biro for the occasional letter or card too.

This is very sad. I really couldn't bear not to be able to read especially - I think I can remember (I was 4) when my Mum taught me to read, and I suddenly realised I could read whole sentences - not just C A T. A moment of intense joy. Black Beauty was the book - can anyone else remember that?

Nice! I have a large black spider in my garage which makes cones, in corners. We have come to an agreement to leave each other alone, and it works.

A poignant connection with the ever-present feeling in youth that we
are somehow immortal, able in the prospect of a wealth of years to
ignore the passing of time and how ephemeral its content can be.

A wry, irreverent, humorous look at a black country relationship - not typical but not unusual either.

re 'Accidental Curator'

Two performance artists, Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi, jumped on the bed with bare torsos to improve the work, which they thought had not gone far enough. They called their performance Two Naked Men Jump into Tracey's Bed. Sold for £2.5 million

Willows are my favorite of all trees. One fell on the corner of my house once and the insurance company gave me a check for $10k. I've loved willows even more since that day! Willows are a great reminder to bend with the wind to ride out the storm. Thanks for sharing! ?
