Stirring but not shaken sounds a bit like the famous James Bond drink that was shaken but not stirred, but now I certainly have no claims to be "Mr Bond, James Bond", but I "am" stirring but not shaken though. For yes, we must stir and shake off this virus curse that...

A brave new year then, but will it be? A good question I think because after all our "Happy New Year" wishes are done, what awaits us I wonder? Many people are still cowed and hiding from Curse Covid I think, while many are refusing to get vaccinated or are...

Forgive my play on title of "One man and his dog" that t v programme about sheep dogs and their masters, for I just mean me as a "one man band" largely in my Poetry World, although I MUST say I'm supported, encouraged and complimented by a very special group of people...
