Resisting impulse to make tasteless jokes about screws. Be thankful you have someone who can carpenter - can that be a verb?
You are putting me right off city living and finally I had to chuckle; would not your reason for not continuing the story taken as long as the story itself? I'm getting muddled now - time for a snifter.

It wasn't meant to go on as long....but was off top of my head - the other ones are drafted and redrafted off line. All that remembering, you know..

PS sorry you resisted the tasteless jokes, Pat... not sure that those aren't all that's left to us on that score.... well so many might imagine. Let them. Carpenters nice to have around too.

I was reading about your parking woes and thinking "welcome to San Francisco".

Things seem to be the same all over.

I've just been reading the piece about 'Bessie Wot Works'. It's a brilliant description of the kind of feelings and experience not often talked about - or maybe just not often experienced.

thanks for this, Clare. I quite like this story too - but alas, noone's ever wanted to publish it...
