Posted on 13. Jul, 2009 by Deb.
In the dark last night, I shuffled the magnetic word pile, allowing my fingers to grope and pluck until five words had been chosen.

Maybe it’s the full moon, but for some reason, old friends are coming back into my life in the last couple of weeks. Not just old friends, but old colleagues I haven’t heard from in ages and, well, old lovers if I were to be downright honest. Which, in this space, I want to be [...]
