Less input

[Zondrae]

G'day all, MartyB in particular,

You posted about the site becoming stale. I guess I have dropped my input since I started to learn to play Ukulele. At about the same time as this, first Maureen then Heather came on board. Now I have been involved with one or another poetry forum for about five or six years and, while I once was the most prolific poster, I now am way down the list.

Cudos to Heather and Maureen for keeping things rolling along. I have my own group 'Illawarra Breakfast Poets' for whom I am currently Chair person, cook, bottle washer, and secretary. Not to mention the 'Kembla Flame' for which I did most of the hands on stuff. (I pause to take a breath) IBP have both weekly and monthly 'homework' and, as I am (more or less) leading the group, I have to make sure I do every topic of homework.

I have little time to write anything for competition let alone post poems. Maybe I will go back to some of my older poems, as Heather has done, and post some of those.

Mind you I have over 40 poems posted and listed in my index. This is a brilliant place for me to direct people who want to read some of my work without jumping in and buying a book straight off. By Robyn's encouragement, I have re printed copies of 4 of my 5 books. The one I haven't done yet is only a kind of 'best of' from the first 3. I have two looming festivals in October and 8 birthdays between now and Christmas. I guess you could say I'm a bit busy. If anyone needs to speak to me, I'll probably be trying to catch some sleep.

Goodonya Zondrae. You're putting me to shame with all of those publications. Now...if I could just get a minute to think...I just might manage to get one new book out.

You take care of yourself lassie.

Zondrae ! I got into trouble for spelling Akubra wrong, so you have to get into trouble for spelling kudos wrong.

Marty, we understand. There's not a whole lot to do in Laggan town!

Stir the pot mate and you never know what comes to the surface ?


Zondrae had not finished with the subject anyway.

ah, Glenny,

You are still around. We thought you had dropped off somewhere. Or perhaps gone on a lecture tour of the small islands to the north. Don't ask me what I'm talking about, because I don't know. I'm still not the best. coughing like an old soldier ( who smoked a lot). I still feel rotten and it's been over a week. I haven't had a chest cold/flu/pneumonia for about 18 years. and now Calvin has come out in Chicken pox. Can't really go anywhere and the tasks are piling up.
