Gosh its been humid and hot this past week interspersed with heavy rain. My conservatory roof is leaking now due to the seals melting with the sun I will have to get it seen too soon as its too high for me to get up there... The Papers say it is hotter than Rio today and I believe them. There is no air , I have two fans going, hang the electricity bills and my carbon footprint. Had my hair cut short again although I am never happy with it short but its much easier to cope with in the summer. Out to lunch too many times this month. I keep saying I will refuse these invitations but when friends invite you and have travelled a distance its hard to say no. A school friend came up from Conwy Wales with her daughter who I haven’t met before. Also my friend and her three darling little daughters came over from New Zealand to see her family, I had a good romp and a cuddle with these delightful children and will be seeing them all again when I join their grandparents in New Zealand this winter. Wonderful. Been otherwise quiet as most people are away on summer holidays . I have not felt like doing much but have attended a few poetry sessions. A video of me reading a rather obscure poem was posted on "You Tube". The poems was written in response to a discussion on `What is Poetry`. Oh my voice I’ll never speak again. I blame the recording quality I am sure I don’t sound like that really.
Attended the Radio Four North West Poetry Slam that WOL was hosting in Manchester. Brilliant Slammers pity my favourite Pete Crompton didn’t get through ,but the winners Mike Wilson and Ben Mellor deservedly won and will go forward to the next stage..
