About

As a displaced Brit, I make my home in Canada.
Married, two children, four grandchildremn, two great grandchildren and two en-route!
My work is scattered all over the web. I began with BeWrite Books and my short stories now appear on Rope and Wire, (Western), Bewildering Stories where I have written so bewilderingly, the editors had to put my stories on site because they were bewildered!
More to follow. I am taking my ma-in-law home - she is almosr 103.
Hi to everyone.

    Let me get this right , you are coming on eighty and are in the process of running your mother-in-law home? Strewth, I've been married for 14 years, I was rather hoping the in-laws might stop nagging after a decade or 5...

    I try to do as I'm told (now and then), so I'll bid you goodnight.
    Night night, QBall.

    A flood of greeters. Thank you. Living on the we(s)t coast we are 8 hrs differnt from GMT so it is almost 5pm here. Cold meat and spuds for supper tonight.
    I will be visiting the UK in mid-April. My daughter lives in Horley and my granddaughter and family in Bristol.
    About time my greeters were in bed. Night!

    Hi QBall, nice to have you on board. You'll have to excuse Whisks (or is it me?) but aren't you in the middle of your day/evening about now - not due to sleep for some hours yet?

    Hello Q Ball, very remiss of us not to have welcomed you to the cloud. Usually new members get a host of welcomes. I can only put it down to it being late on an Easter Monday with most people returning to work tomorrow. Anyhow, welcome to the cloud. You''ll find us a very friendly bunch and it will be good to have a gentleman of your experience on the site. Welcome and enjoy.

    Hi QBall, I'll speak to you - although I should have turned into a pumpkin ages ago (it's half past midnight in England). Why, it must be ever so early in Canada; can't sleep?
