Ref Tony’s previous comment, if a call can’t connect to a mobile it doesn’t always go to voicemail. Plenty of times I’ve called a number and instead of an answer or voicemail, heard something to the effect of ‘the number cannot be reached’ (can’t remember exact wording).
In any case, I think if the caller was worried and desperate to get hold o…[Read more]

Just sailing out of Cherbourg. Bit sad really. Probably last visit as an EU citizen. For a while anyway.

I remember reading after a train crash disaster, of the non-stop ringing of victims’ mobiles. Could you hot say “Somewhere there was a phone that seemed to keep on ringing and ringing.” ?

Very good question. You could have a play with the settings on your own phone to see if you can stop it going to voicemail, or set it for a greater number of rings before it does? I’m sure I’ve known mobiles that ring for ages before the go to voicemail, and also as the caller you can cut off the call and ring back almost instantly if the pho…[Read more]

Mantra.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
Such is the mantra, spoken quietly in hope during clandestine gatherings, or whispered in the darkest moments outside of them, when dreams of life lived to the full fall beyond my control and are squashed like bugs in the mud.
For certain, this mantra is against the teachings of…[Read more]

@jillybean – read your books pretty much in two days. Really enjoyed them. Love Gregory – big, brash, but loyal to a fault.
Couldn’t find them on Goodreads to leave a review though… Have you posted them there yet?

Have we ever had an entry in the form of a song before? Formatting may be a challenge, so bear with me.
On a restroom wall in Baltimore,
Above a broken sink,
Someone scratched this message,
“It’s later than you think”I took this simple line to heart,
I saw that it was true,
And built myself a sturdy boat,
Then sailed the ocean blue.Time goes…[Read more]

Just about to lose my data connection before surrendering to the joys of wifi at sea. No inspiration here yet. The pain chocolat is good though.

Like Richard, waiting for inspiration – and I’ve next week away from home in which to receive it (several ideas bubbling)

Well, Kate, you’ve got me stumped with this months competition. Still waiting for inspiration to strike.

Oh no! I was hoping to inspire, not stump. Maybe a nautical theme from you with the Captain reference?

A trawler Captain, he could be the captain of my sole!

Sounds fishy to me. 🙂

There had to be a catch.
-
Good one. I’ve been trying to come up with some smart reply, but I’ve got nothing, so you win this round!

Still floundering, Kate?

Perfect, Bella!
