Woke up this morning by alarms bells
Five AM and all seemed well
But the fire alarm sound out loud
Outside we went to the awful sound
No fire though, just a false alarm
No-one seemed to come to any harm
Most didn’t even come out to be safe
You never know, just in case
Finally get back in after a wait
For the all clear to abate
Then drifting off to sleep
Woken again by the alarm going beep
Finally it’s all over and gone nine
Too shattered to do stuff or even try
So another lost day passes by again
Not even to pick up a pen
Roll on tomorrow…

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
