    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.
