Client journalists supine in their
Joyful submission and waved a wad of copy.
"It's all about #delivery" and like the paperboy I used to be
I wondered about unpainted impoverished doors that the delivery men walked past.

I was lucky enough to be at the online launch of this terrific book last night & was struck by how much context is everything. In the week that a GSRD woman was killed by the new stormtroopers of the American regime a book that might otherwise have been a celebratio looks like part of the fightback.

as therapists it is imperative we dont work with issues that are unresolved for us - for example if we are grieving a loved one we shouldn't be doing grief work.
A family therapist who cant see that no contact is a valid choice cannot ethically do family therapy

The cycle of the year
Set out in hymns, collects
The prescribed readings
Mapped to days defined by their
Relationship to calendars Constructed of particular histories. Since my faith deserted me I miss the

The promise of #transport to a
Small town boy hoping a
Furtive escape might end in delight
Denies the reality that
Wherever we are the
Vehicle is a tool, not the

Fettle the much loved hack for salt stained roads.

There's a clear trail from Peter Mandelson, through Derek Draper and Damian Mcbride, to Damian Cummings and now Morgan McSweeney, of people who sought power and influence but instead became exemplars of malignant practice within or adjacent to government. We need to reconsider how government works.

Connecting Bran the Blessed with something,
Anything less ordinary than a
Bored teacher, and some half understood history he decried in monotones?
I tried, dear reader, I tried.
