    I have to say this wasn't my choice but... 🤨😄 Given my current track record, I'll probably concoct something with about a week to go. 😬🙄

    Personification is one of my favourite starting points for a short story. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

    Yes, Carlos, it's very obviously early you, but it's a sweet story nevertheless. And yes, I meant 'sweet', 🤨😄 something you're not normally famed for. Reading the comments was another pleasure - you really caught people's attention.

    Christmas is Bruce's special time of year, a time he shines, but there's always a shadow...

    Bruce tried to ignore the aches and pains that afflicted him from top to bottom. Sunlight, low, warm, and golden, streamed into the lounge and caressed his lower limbs. Unexpected brightness, reflected in the French windows, was dazzling when his head occupied one particular position. Standing upright required more strength than he currently possessed.

    Hi, @grahamsealby. In the absence of any other response, I thought some clarification from you might be useful. Are you trying to renew a premium subscription?

    Pie? Who cares about pie? It's the that counts.

    It can take many years to accept yourself, whether as you stand in front of the mirror or just contemplate who you think you are. Acceptance is powerful. In some ways, it can make or break your life, I'm glad you're in a good place, Archimedes' bafflement notwithstanding. 🤨😄😘

    And the spinelessness of those teams (with the honourable exception of Germany) who thought wearing an armband was too great a risk. The Iranian team literally risked their lives to protest what is going on in their country. The world cup in Qatar is sportwashing at its finest.

    Yep. Me. I know it's been a while but really?

    I suspect he's eaten as many portions of fish and chips on a beach as I have. That is...

    Me - I can cheerfully sit this one out. a) I'm English and b) clams (and seafood in general) are something else I find 🤢
