18 Apr – I know you know what you know, but you should know by now that you’re not me.

That essence of being human that allows your brain to wake before your body in case there’s a fire or a predator about – it can’t be switched off when there’s nothing doing and so goes looking for trouble.

17th November – I can catch the moon in my hand, Don’t you know who I am?

Baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough.

8th March – I polished up that handle so carefully, That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navy.

5th March – What goes up, must come down, Spinning wheel got to go round.

22nd Jan – You can thank your lucky stars that we’re not as smart as we’d like to think we are.
