Text of the page (random words):
f elgin about as far from civilisation as you could get unless you counted inverness which she certainly didn t conway was hardly using his phone or laptop and angela had still been unable to get permission to monitor maria s electronic devices or to put surveillance cameras or sound devices in the cottage she had thought about using a teenage hacker from a south london housing estate to hack into douglas computer but he was so unreliable she was worried that it would go tits up so she was finally and reluctantly having to face it if those two brought her department down with whatever they were up to she would take her revenge and in any way possible give a chance to read the first draft of the manuscript andy was mightily impressed maria had managed to include all the facts and incidents and even though she had changed the names and many locations too he could easily see everything he had been working on clearly explained in what read as a great novel about conspiracies ruthlessness callousness and a government out of control more importantly once they went public with the real names and real truths behind it the people would immediately understand share this share

august 13 2026 beetleypete 39 comments not my photo there was some excitement yesterday as there was a chance of seeing a 95 eclipse of the sun from britain we had to go out anyway and decided to leave it until late afternoon as the supposed best time to see the eclipse was between 5pm 7pm first stop was the tile and flooring shop on the industrial estate behind the tesco superstore we chose some wall and floor tiles for the new shower room that is replacing the bathroom and told the salesman that our plumber would be in later this month to buy them back outside just before 5pm no sign of an eclipse starting quickly popped around to tesco to buy a gift voucher for a family birthday coming up still hot and sunny when we came out then we decided to go to the homeware shop the range to buy a new toilet roll holder hand towel ring and small waste bin to have ready for the new shower room that s only a 5 minute drive from tesco by the time we left there it was getting closer to 6pm but the sun was still shining brightly a short drive back to the car park in town we had found out that the turkish restaurant was open again after a short holiday closure and we were the first people in there for dinner starters and main course eaten and enjoyed we took our drinks outside to sit at the small table on the street by then it was 7 20pm and still quite sunny but a few degrees cooler on the way home the sun was shining so brightly we had to have the sunshades flipped down inside the car windscreen we concluded that we had missed the eclipse which had probably happened some time between our starter and the main course share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on linkedin

heard one side of the conversation maria was having on the phone but as she was half smiling he presumed it was nothing too serious he said what and just from a story outline he wants what a complete explanation of why the stones do what they do and a definite ending well tell him from me he isn t going to get one and the reason is simple there is undoubtedly going to be a sequel and it would not do to let the readers know everything in the first book okay so you ll tell him i m not going to be around for a couple of days things to do i will call you when i get back and he will have hopefully calmed down she hung up and looked at andy my agent he s had a call from the publisher and that guy thinks the book should have a firm conclusion and also wants me to make up some crazy scientific reason why the stones make people suicidal for god s sake i only did a run through with him it s not even a first draft if he thinks he can write best selling novels he should quit publishing and write one himself angela made sure to put on some of the blue latex gloves from the dispenser on the wall even though the watch was in a sealed transparent plastic evidence bag the mortuary woman was giving her a shifty look as it probably wasn t every day that they got a call to hand over property to someone who was not a relative or a copper and her i d was non specific just stating home office next to her photo it was one of several issued to her that were used to make sure the person seeing them didn t make an immediate connection with the security services back at headquarters she went to the property room and let herself in using the door code she made an entry into the old school ledger book taking the reference number that followed on from the one above then she took down one of the security boxes opened it using the door code again and wrote the ledger reference number on the white card on the outside of the box instead of placing the watch inside she left it empty then she closed the box and took it to the shelves at the back of the room moving other boxes out of place to slot it in out of order by the time anyone noticed she would have had time to do what she intended in his london flat andy and maria were looking at two piles of stuff on the living room floor one was the keep pile the other the chuck out pile wilfred had made himself comfortable on the two seater sofa and then dropped off to sleep they had four days left on the notice period but only intended to sleep there one more night before heading back to scotland early the next day the property rental company had told andy it would take a full calendar month for his deposit to be returned once a full check of the premises had been carried out to look for any breakages stains or damage his boss at the newspaper had already paid his salary and made arrangements to transfer his pension entitlement once andy gave him the details of the company he had chosen andy didn t like to think about how pleased the editor had been to let him resign not a word asking him to reconsider all his outstanding holiday pay credited without fuss still he knew that small local papers were struggling even though most were owned by bigger corporations he could see it going completely online by the end of the year the pile of stuff to keep was mainly clothes shoes paperwork and books they had brought cardboard boxes with them the day before and by late afternoon everything was packed up ready with the things to be thrown away placed in a row of black plastic bin bags in the hallway to be taken down to the large communal bins situated outside the flat maria seemed happy that it had all gone so smoothly right lets get cleaned up and changed then we can take wilfred for a walk in the park at the end of the road on the way back we can get a bottle of wine and some takeaway food to eat something tastier than we had at the motorway services late last night she leant forward and kissed him

end to see if this is a book you would like to buy to support our friend kevin shadows and birdsong brings together poems that reflect on nature memory friendship and the quiet passing of time moving through woodlands graveyards and everyday rooms kevin morris writes about the moments that stay with us and the ones that slip away the collection touches on ageing loss companionship and the small details that shape a life birds calling in the trees the steady tick of a clock the feel of rain the presence of shadows some poems remember those who are gone others simply observe the world as it is with its mix of beauty and impermanence i have recently released a new poetry collection entitled shadows and birdsong which is available from amazon in kindle and paperback below is a poem from shadows and birdsong followed by a link enabling readers to download a sample or purchase the collection church bells in the rain i hear church bells in the rain and think i will go there one day to sing hymns and pray i have lost count of the times when lost in my rhymes i have passed graves in sunshine and rain i shall walk there again and may go to pray but the gods in each churchyard tree and the old wood i so love call to me of nymphs who sing of budding spring the birds call in the graveyard and the wood alike and night falls over all the church bells tell of long ago when men believed in something higher than them when i hear the thunder roar i think of thor and how civilisations rise and fall i know that i must go to the church one day and one day i shall remain and be as one with
