The Baltimore Observer

You see many strange things at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland.  Some are in the water
Others are more - in your face...

'Does she have to do that?'   'Maybe if we ignore her she'll go away!'

Unlikely!  The motto of the species is Tenax Propositi.

I was reminded of George Melly :)

Latest

Here we are at the August Bank Holiday weekend and where did that go?  September is on its way and I'm going to meet the fabulous Nathan Rosen of Micro Horror this September.  Really looking forward to that.  And I get to choose the theme for this year's Micro Horror Hallowe'en Competition having won it three times in a row, Nathan has devised a suitable punishment ;)

There's a new micro fiction up at Doorknobs and Body Paints - Escaping Heat and I'm in the excellent company of Frances Gapper and Angeal Readman so go and have a good read - which Doorknobs always is.

A Special week


It has been a rather special week, a Pearl Anniversary is apt to be special.  We had a meal out, flowers, champagne, friends - what more could you ask for?


The bouquet we were given by our good friends Joe and Bet

The gorgeous card my sister made.

And Moving Times went down well at Every Day Fiction.  Thanks to everyone who read and commented :)
