Viva Valentine’s Day!

Here he comes, poor old postie dragging his bulging sack up my garden path again…

Yes, it’s Valentine’s day, and once more my beleaguered box has taken a battering as the ladies of the parish ignore my entreaties that they eschew traditional cards in favour of modern-day missives of the electronic variety. Oh well, we can but try.

Anyhow, on the plus side there is a Valentine Special podcast from Flitt and folio to enjoy, so why not pull up a chair and relax for half-an-hour as they offer observations and occasional poems loosely connected to the theme of the day? Oh, and don’t forget to like and subscribe if it’s the kind of thing you like and wish to subscribe to!

A New Beginning

So there’s this competition, right. A song-writing competition, right. Environmental songs, right, for the pFITE festival 2024, right. And me and my mate Paul did a song for them as 2 Blokes, 1 Guitar, right, but we didn’t realise it was a Youtube “thumbs up” voting system…

Thing is, we have ABSOLUTELY NO YOUTUBE PRESENCE WHATSOEVER, right!

So, if you have a Youtube account and you don’t absolutely hate the song, why not follow the link and give us a thumbs up. Who knows, if enough thumbs hit enough like buttons we may just save the planet, and wouldn’t that be a brilliant thing to do?


Cheers. M’dears!

Och Aye the New Year

Yes, it’s January and only three weeks into the New Year I’ve got to say I’m already feeling wintered out. Roll on spring!

That said, I’m enjoying our new podcast venture (latest episode below), and while very much a cultural tourist with no known Scottish connection whatsoever am always happy to join the festivities for Burn’s night with a traditional haggis feast and a few single malts to wash it down.

That and many other delights of the winter months up for discussion and poetic licence in this episode, so if you can indulge yourself in housework avoidance for half-an-hour or so we’d love you to join us.

It’s Been a While

As advised several posts back, my online activity at Lovely2CU has been dramatically affected by the loss of (most of) my eyesight. I’ve been keeping myself busy elsewhere, though, both with VOICES online, and in the real world with performances poetical, musical and occasionally dramatic wherever they will have me!

My latest venture, as always with long-term collaborator Peppy Scott (aka Pam Flitt) is Flitt & Folio’s Housework Avoidance Strategy, a podcast series that blends light-hearted chat and gentle humour with observations on life, the universe and anything and everything with the occasional poem thrown in for good measure. You’ll find the latest -seasonal- episode below, and it would be lovely if you took the time to listen, and, if so inclines, like and share and follow.

Happy New Year!
