Me of having OCD tendencies. I like to think of it more as being Orderly, and using Categories and Details to make life flow like liquid wax down polished granite. Wipes up image-debris and buffs*. I have an eye for angles and equidistance. Everything in life can be organised by categories and details:-. All the games...

A fine WordPress.com site. How very dare they? Published June 1, 2015. Every so often, for a laugh, we round up the family and head off in the direction of a bit of modern art. Each time I am reminded of The Emperor’s New Clothes. Surely,. Everyone is faking admiration, and feigning intellect, as they scuff around with narrowed eyes, tilting their head this way and that, eyeing up a dirty comb with a missing tooth here, or the dried contents of a can of paint that’s been hurled at the wall there?

A fine WordPress.com site. Published October 6, 2014. There’s never really been a pigeon-hole large enough to accommodate me and all my writing baggage. A pigeon. Might be better suited. Sinks into fuzzy daydream*.
