Talking of Daisy
25th November 2003, early evening | Comments (1)
I was just having a nose through the Web, as is my wont, when I stumbled across a comment I’d left at a friend’s site.
Daisy is a painter and she’d asked me to leave a note about her work. This is what I’d written:
A Poem.
A painting by Daisy Foster
Of Provence, or of boats on the Costa,
Will bring to your life, or that of your wife
More joy than the money it cost ya.I thank you.

Blog-roll
A selection of blogs I read on a regular basis.
- Hmm, the blog-roll seems to be a little bit broken right now (it may be that the blo.gs service is having problems). I’ve sent myself an email about this problem, and will try to fix it ASAP.
