Thanks for all the nice comments! I think some days away next week will be good but I will try to keep updating regularly here when I am back. (probably also from New York) I just need to find some new inspiration.

@Zazz that is a wonderful “Elfchen”! Thank you ! :) I must try that format some time, it’s a bit like a Haiku.

Dear Girl In The Cafe,

Take a break if you need one.
Lick your wounds.
Indulge in poem writing.
But, please, leave the door to your blog open a crack.

Here’s why (an “Elfchen” dedicated to Ingrid):

GIRL
IN LONDON
READING HER BLOG
REALLY MAKES MY DAY
WORTHWHILE

Thanks Ingrid, she had been suffering for three months so it was a blessed release.
I’m fine but of course there is lots to be done at a time like this (forms, forms and more forms)

So I might read your words in my sons English book one day? I like that thought :-)

Oh no Sue, I am so sorry to hear that! My deepest condolences :(

Who cares about things like films and postcards when real life comes along like this, I hope you are OK.

Congrats on getting the poem published. Is there any way you could get someone to take on your cartoons for cards? I know it’s a busy market but every shop seems to deal in cards these days.

I’m sure your film will get made, we shall all have to be patient.

I’m not a Royalist and am afraid that Charles just annoys me.

I don’t know if we shall get Easy Virtue at work or not. Some people have asked for it buat apparently it’s a Coward story and they have cut out all the Coward lines which kind of misses the point but Colin Firth is in it which is always a plus.

My dear mother died last Friday after twelve weeks in hospital. They sent her to a nursing home on the Wednesday and she died on the Friday morning…(Good old social services). She was eighty-eight and much loved.

well, i for one would miss you if you just stopped posting but at the same time I understand blogging burnout, which is no fun whatsoever. Maybe keep the doors open, but let go of the pressure?

Go where the heart is best served, no point in doing things out of duty, that’s not your style is it? I am going back to a play next and funnily enough was flicking through some old poems the other day and wondering where that writer had gone… http://allenoleary.com/?p=88

Great news about the poeems. Isn’t that typical, one door (almost) closes and the other one opens.
People talk about Prince C. being the next king of England, but I don’t think he fancies the throne at all.
It’s a pity David stops being The Doctor. In the last weeks I watched several other (much older) Doctor Who episodes and I think he is/was one of the best, but I can understand he wants something else. Did you see the teaser at the Children in Need-fund raiser last Friday?

Wait a sec, your film crashed? I must have missed that — I’m so sorry. I can empathize with how disappointment can suck the life out of writing for a bit.

I took a blog break in August. That may be the thing to do…replenish those batteries!
