Congrats, MacPhil!

I'm on my way to bed now, but this looks great and I'll take a proper look tomorrow :)

Hi Phil,

Three very different photos and poems! I think I like the coffee photo the best, and I love "She buys me coffee" to end. But my faovrite poem may be the egg poem. I knew Hodgkin, if you mean the scientist. Not very well, but we chatted.

Cheers,
John

Now that's a dramatic painting! My Hodgkin was the Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma guy.

Cheers,

Hullo again,

My favourite pic's the butterfly, MacPhil; I think I like that poem best too, although they're all very accomplished of course! Just something about the Black Jack made it particularly real for me 🙃

Excellent Fliss. I shall share that with my photographer friend. Alas, if I recover from this flu, a visit to the dentist next week...I was tempted by a toffee over the festive period😥🤣

Yes, do share, MacToothless! Sorry about the flu, and the dentist next week. Toffees are terrific... until they're terrifying. I muchly prefer chocs, as when I have tea with them they just melt in the mouth, yums. Wishing you better health as January rolls on 🙂👍

Just another quick visit from me due to tiredness again, but I'll try to pop in properly tomorrow 🙃

Bw,
Fliss ☕️🍫

Congratulations, Phil. Nice poems. Nice presentation too. I love the way the internet gives us publishing without wasting paper (though, admittedly, it creates a stream of waste that's more toxic -- sorry, my mind always goes to the negative).
Signature info:
If you don't like the black theme, it is easy to switch to a lighter color. Just ask me how.
If I don't critique your poem, it is probably because I don't understand it.

Are you saying that you lost a tooth to a toffee? Oh, my. I just ate a whole box of chocolates.

Thanks Caleb. I did not lose the tooth, but the filling, luckily it was not a gold one🤣
