Horatio and Hortensia
Dear Reader,
Do you remember this picture of me taken last year when we had come back from Lyme Regis with Horatio the mouse. I thought you would like to know that he now has a lady friend called Hortensia. Above is a photograph of the two of them. They are very happy here and are glad to live in the Cotswolds, especially as the know that very posh people live in this area such as the Beckhams, and I am told by a reliable source, that the Duke of Sussex has a house nearby. Not that he will be here often of course but the mice hope to see him on some of their walks. I rather hope to as well. I think I could give him a good piece of advice, viz: less said soonest mended.

I read somewhere this week that audiences at a production of 'Romeo and Juliet' were given a handout saying they must not be taken in or upset by the deaths of the two actors, that they are in fact still alive, so not to worry. Can one really imagine someone thinking that the actors die in the play? So do they have to get new actors for the next productions and so on ..... What next? I ask again, and again, and again....

Truth Modern
Through a kaleidoscope's
shifting bright colours,
set close to the eye,
the viewer's truth is reflected,
assuring the mind of it veracity,
acknowledging its fantasies
as realities,
seeing truth
not as it is, but as we would
like it to be,
spinning words,
detaching truth from its moorings,
setting it loose in murky waters
Illusions of truth
sandwiched between lies
is the authentic truth
of our times.

With very best wishes, Patricia
