Re-runs of Monty Python ran here in America in the early 70s. I was lucky to find them. I loved the show, I saw their movies and stole their lines. Terry Jones and the rest of the gang. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Tom,
Thank you for this. My mistake as I intended to write ferment and not forment. It was a poem from the depths of my heart for a lost love. A day cannot pass but he is in my thoughts.

Lucy, that is the darndest thing.That road. I walked it as a child up to MacFish every Saturday with my dad where he'd jolly & lark the staff and buy kippers & shellfish & stuff that's not even legal any more. I'd pedal up the cycle lanes, possibly, the earliest cycle lanes in Britain, to school in Kingston. I'd walk up there to the Toby Jug to work as a 12 year old and then to the Toby Jug Blues Club where Fleetwood Mac played every 6 weeks about as close as I'm sitting to this screen.
And then only on Tuesday I learn a bloke called Tim Harrison has written a Tolworth book and he's involved with The cornerHOUSE in Surbiton that's actually in Tolworth and he books the writers' nights. timharrison444@hotmail.com
Now I jolly and lark and have run a performance agency for more years than is possible and there's you in the middle of the Kingston Road ticking off the ticks and collecting the sights & smells & cacophonies.
I just had to stop and say.
That is a glorious ecological tale to tell. Power to your elbows and great good luck with SWARD

One of my favourite singers (Bill Callahan) sings on his song 'All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast'; "The leafless tree looked like a brain / The birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me".

Powerful writing Keith. I really felt this one. The pull some souls can maintain on us through the years; it can be staggering.
I was thrown off a little by 'forment' - perhaps my ignorance though?

As you have given no preliminary statement that this does not apply to you, and having written it in the first person, I have no choice but to believe you are talking about yourself.
You have also given the same idea to MC

Comment is about The Much Abused Apostrophe Mark (blog)
Original item by Don Matthews
I can only sympathise with those who suffer this affliction. It is likely
to have a variety of causes, not least an over-active mind (allied,
perhaps, on occasions, to an under-active body that isn't tired enough to drop off to sleep).
There's also the situation when separate bedrooms might help - or
the means of cancelling out the audible sound of a nearby partner.
In an age when experiments into sleep problems are commonplace,
it is apparent that the situation has no set remedy, with each in need
of some individual personal attention to source and help reduce or
eliminate the cause(s). As a shift-worker all my working life (now long
retired) I became, through necessity, adjusted to a haphazard system
of sleeping hours, sometimes as short as 4 - 5 hours, before rising
to start work. Now, in retirement, with no regular demands on my time, I have a split routine, often waking for a nighttime loo visit
after a few hours and then returning to enjoy another longer rest
period, with narrative dreams to go with it!! That seems to suit
my present life-style as the years pass.
Best wishes towards obtaining a solution to whatever sleep curse is upon you! Note the time of this comment for my own
situation as far as "bedtime" hours are concerned!

Writers deal in words - the tools of the trade. It behoves us to use
them correctly as in any other trade in which it is desired to be taken
seriously. Who would rely on a carpenter to do a trustworthy job with a bag of blunt rusty tools?
I have no spell-checker but instead rely on a small range of reference
works that include the Oxford English Dictionary, Roget's Thesaurus
and a number of volumes on the use and abuse of the English language. Between them, they provide a wealth of illuminating information to answer any uncertainty I might face or question I might have. The human element acknowledges that the occasional blip
might sneak past in the typing (typo!) of any material but having a novel published is a salutary lesson in the need to read and re-read
one's written efforts to ensure they are as near perfect as possible, not least to keep costs down prior to submission to the printers.
