Well, what do you know? Three totally different old things.
Sandra, you brought a bit of Rembrandt’s brutal honesty in your piece. I’m not sure whether I was meant to but I chuckled along as I read this. It reminded me of the moment when I realised that my hands now resemble my own father’s as I remember them from years ago. It was an honest piece, and not too brutal in the end.
Alex, this had a wonderful inevitability to it. The atmosphere of his confident indolence contrasting with her sceptical resignation, is deliciously drawn.
Pinkbelt, this is a near perfect description of returning to an old place that was once important. That’s why you are my choice this month. I hope you stick around long enough to set and judge the February comp.
Wow. Never expected to win. My way of gently reintroducing myself. I’m dipping my toe back in so I’ll give it a go. Let me have a think and I’ll post a bit later.
