Group topic

Lovely to see some people putting stuff on the blog. And Abi, well done again!
Sharon, thanks for your sweet comment on my post - the piece makes me feel a bit like that too, sort of sad in an enjoyable way. Only trouble with posting on a blog like this is that I keep thinking "Oh, I could improve that...."

Glen, I enjoyed your post - I like the idea of you going into a bookshop determined to overcome your "quirk". I know what you mean about finding out that words you thought were innocuous in fact are not - I remember finding out something similar in an on-line dictionary of Cockney rhyming slang. Something everyone always treats as merely funny is actually quite blue when you know what it means. It might even have been berk, I can't recall. But I was sitting in the office and I had to quickly close down the page before anyone saw the definition...

Anyway, Group Topic. In honour of Abi's achievement, how about Achievement?

Achievement? Hmmmm...I'll give it a go. Nothing sparks at the moment but I have an errand to do on the other side of the village this afternoon. Maybe a good walk will produce something?

Yes, 'achievement' it is then. Here's hoping.
