I stared at the anonymous comment in disbelief. From a jilted lover? My sources suggested otherwise. I pity someone who can declare such a strong statement of hatred to a complete stranger but is too cowardly to sign their name.
Dear Anon,
Let it go. Find a more constructive way to fill your days.

FLASH 55 - LOVER'S BLOCK
Writing was her way of expressing herself. Replacing loneliness and quiet desperation. Until she met him. He loves and understands her completely. Words to explain this new found happiness escape her. She's used to a darker vocabulary.
"What's the matter babe?" he asks.
"Stop making me so bloody happy so I can write something," she replies.

SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS - NEW LEAF
The beginning of a new year is often a time to decide to turn over a new leaf. Previously on New Year's Eve I would eat, drink and party too much. Wake up the next morning with my head in my hands saying never again. I would then proceed to make a list of goals and expect to achieve these milestones just because it was a brand new year. Sound familiar?
How things have changed. This year or should I say last year, I had a couple of glasses of wine and a few laughs with Steve and my family and was in bed by eleven. I woke up at 5.30am with a clear head, a smile on my face and a feeling that all was right in my world.
Most of the changes I made last year weren't resolutions I wrote down on paper, they were imaginings I had while I daydreamed. What I have learned is that turning over a new leaf isn't something which happens overnight. It's not about setting goals you have no idea how to reach. To me, it's about deciding and imagining the life you want to lead, the person you want to be and moving towards that reality. Some days I take a huge step and other days baby steps but it's all good. Also, I don't beat myself up if I don't reach a goal today - there's always tomorrow.
Happy daydreaming!

FOR GRANDAD - Part 2
My Grandad was asked to contribute to a book which was being written by soldiers about their wartime experiences. Unfortunately, my Grandad passed away before his story could be published. I would like to share some of the first draft he wrote with you here. The writing is in long hand and is difficult to read at times but I will do my best Grandad. The previous entry was posted a fews days ago.
On the morning of the 7th June, what was left of my platoon were told to advance through the woods and to take up fresh positions. We were coming under heavier fire now from the 21st P division who were now bringing up tanks and mortars. Just about noon, as far as I can remember, Captain Mason, told us that we were in position and we began to dig in again, enemy fire was now becoming very heavy and we were very apprehensive of our position.
Captain Mason said to me, "Here we are and here we are going to stay." We then heard the ominous sound of a tank approaching. We had only grenades ... ... light .... would be of no use. I looked over to Captain Mason but he seemed unconcerned. The tank stopped some 100 yards away and pumped shells all around us and quite a number were killed and wounded.
PART 3 tomorrow (or as soon as my fingers can type it).

HAPPY NEW YEAR - FLASH 55
Woke up this morning
With a smile on my face
New Year beginning
No time to waste
Cuddles from my sweetheart
Family all around
Licks from my baby dog
A new life I have found
Loved ones I am missing
Thier loss more than mine
Hope they'll come around
If I give a little time
