Silence & foxes

HonestInk,

Last week my eldest little dog and myself quietly followed a fox late in the afternoon in the cemetery. It was a grey day, heavy and humid and still before the storm. He was beautiful and handsome and slightly evil looking at the same time and I was a little…

Fame

HonestInk,

I’ve never been a fan of Britney Spears simply because I never knew who she was. Different generations and music genres. I’ve recently been watching her Instagram. Initially, because it was like watching the antics of Kanye West. It’s a juicy and titillating cringe fest. It’s my afternoon cup of…

I remember as a teen

When the purge comes…

HonestInk,

Russel Brand, accused of sexual assault and rape. Well who would have believed it? Me for starters. You only have to look at the sleaze bag and his permanently open mouth and gritted teeth. I can smell his bad breath and cheesy penis from here. I wonder how many haven’t…

The Sociopath

HonestInk,

I’m going to write about toxic people again. Well about one person I know. A sociopathic woman that I thought I’d left behind a long time ago. Once she laid in wait for me to leave our town’s Continental Market. lashings of pretend Polish beer and strong vodka. She called…

The hard of heart

HonestInk,

When we were dancing the other night my mate next door mentioned that like her I started to get depressed after what The Witch Controller did to us. We both did. We’d spent a lot of time with her. I’d written a poem about us as I felt friendship I’d…

A letter to me..

HonestInk,

I’ve a feeling my sis picked the wrong person to message to about me in her usual passive aggressive tones. It goes as follows: ”Hi S, hope you’re ok. I know your friends with Jo and I was wondering if she is having a mental breakdown or something. She’s posted…

..not even an ounce of empathy

HonestInk,

I used to wonder at the encouraging comments re the new couple in town. He had coke falling out of his massive hooter and she was the bitch from hell. This woman had treated people that worked for her very badly. Left both men and women in tears, including my…

Potatoes

HonestInk,

We started a bit earlier today on this Saturday afternoon. My pal neighbour A and I. Having a barbecue and several beers looking at the tomato forest. 3pm no less. It’s usually 4pm. We used to get told off about even that on the odd occasion we did by The…

Rainy days…

HonestInk,

I started a new painting today. I had this light on. That light on. Every bloody light on. Basically it should be daylight for most of the day. It’s Summer. It’s like the 40 days of night in the UK right now. We will drown under a sea of rainwater…

Endurance

HonestInk,

I was having a lovely time adding to my basket on Temu but my internet is fucked so I thought I might as well write instead. Although I’m on Talk Talk of course it all boils down to good old BT in the end. Doesn’t it always?! That good old…
