Lots of Thoughts
I don’t know if you ever have something on your mind for days? You know, where it sits in the back of your mind and then germinates.
Bluey again
This morning I had woken in the night a few times and Johnathan was up early so we watched some children’s tv. There were a couple of episodes of Bluey.

I want to talk to you about fantasy fiction. Well, I suppose in some ways ALL fantasy is fiction because it’s not real. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have certain fundamentals that need to be followed because it does.
Unusual things
Are there times you see something and you think “”yeah, that won’t work” or “come on, seriously, show me something sensible!”
