West Coast Ramblings: Sixty - It's a Dangerous Age
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2009/09/sixty-its-dangerous-age.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Sunday, September 20, 2009. Sixty - It's a Dangerous Age. I'm sixty this year, in fact in June past. It's the kind of number that makes one pause for thought. The usual topics come to mind; the flabbing body, the turkey neck, worries about the prostate (already realised in the case of my older brother), retirement, the older years if we live long enough or too long, mortality; What does it all mean? Is there a life after death? View my complete profile. Raven...

West Coast Ramblings: Then We Came To The End - Joshua Ferris
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/02/then-we-came-to-end-joshua-ferris.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Sunday, February 17, 2008. Then We Came To The End - Joshua Ferris. Part of it's strength, for me. is that it is a book about a set of characters completely outside of my experience - it's set in a Chicago advertising agency - and I feel I'm being drawn in. Hopefully the effort of sticking with it to now will be rewarded. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog will be used to post some of my ramblings and, sometimes, more coherent writing.

West Coast Ramblings: The Truth
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/01/truth.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Saturday, January 19, 2008. So there I was, gazing in the window at the old printing machinery when these two cops came up to me and said 'What were you doing in that doorway, son'? When I stood up there were these two guys, that it was only two came as a shock, but there they stood, between us and the door, a beer tumbler in each hand. 'C'mon ya bastards! Furiously. She was the loveliest creature and she had picked me! But before we could take things a stage...

West Coast Ramblings: On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwen
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-chesil-beach-ian-mcewen.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Saturday, March 15, 2008. On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwen. I enjoyed this book. It was short and pacey and an enjoyable read from start to finish. I see it is described as a novella, which is probably right. At the start of the book the author has a laugh at the expense of the sex education manuals prevalent in post-war Britain. This is sharply described with quotes such as;. Not long before he enters her. Now, at last he enters her. Florence asks herself .

aiblins: Silly Second Lines
http://aiblins.blogspot.com/2008/03/silly-second-lines.html
Wednesday, 19 March 2008. These don't fit any known tune, they merely rhyme! Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. I wish I hadn't bothered being the Queen. It ain't necessarily so. That there's a hereafter, after we go. In the beginning was the word. Then sometime later, Douglas Hurd. In Christ there is no East or West. Nor mention of a thermal vest. I love the concept! Are you certain about the thermal vest thing? 20 March 2008 at 07:42. 20 March 2008 at 15:30. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

aiblins: January 2007
http://aiblins.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 January 2007. A pocketwatch, a packet of fags,. A promise that today. Would be beautiful, who knows. Why it isn't so, the god. Of the trees, the woman. In the shop, maybe even I,. It's not that we would wish. It not, even a beggar. Needs a penny and a cup. Of something for the road, no. Strange, unlooked for,. Otherly, that we see each day. In a mirror, a vision. Of a life half-lived,. Of an unknown world. Monday, 15 January 2007. Poet and dust jacket. Give little away,. An interesting life,.

aiblins: March 2008
http://aiblins.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 March 2008. Many things start this way. Many things start this way. With ideas, plans etc. Many hurdles, ditches, cul-de-sacs. If you were to write it all down. It might seem fantastical. Things you did, and others,. Those strange coming togethers. Now seem like so much serendipity. You wonder how anything. Involving hope, love or mystery. Sunday, 30 March 2008. And then the rain stopped. You emerge onto an endless field. Happiness stretches behind you like a blue wave. The people in sweden.
