Blast. I didn't realise the story had to be based on the theme home. Back to the drawing board I mean pen.

Happy Birthday To You! Have a great day. Best wishes J.T

Peter. I have found the definition of irony. A small piece of nonsense thrown into a sensible discussion to confuse and amuse. :-)

I may persevere with it as a short story. My recent full-sized efforts are going nowhere fast, so I need a positive distraction before I sit down and begin the mammoth re-edit. Failing that I could give up writing, start drinking, find a mistress ...
