Thanks for stopping by my blog. My mom, a poet, used to give me Benadryl when I was a kid. She said it was for my hay fever, which I did suffer from, but I suspect it was sometimes administered so I’d get sleepy. Then she could write poetry in the ensuing quiet. Cheers!
Ah benadryl, the nectar of the peace seekers. We are considering weaning ours from milk to Strawberry calpol.
Voting for benylin, and not the new non drowsy one! The one with the warning not to operate machines after taking!
First tooth today; all the Benylin in Boots couldn’t save us.
Have mercy.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog
Thanks for stopping in at my blog, much appreciated.
Love the tag-line on the blog, sir. And happy to meet you – I share your sleeplessness, and for the same reasons.
congratulations! It’s amazing how much you read when you’re desperately tired. I hope it gets easier on you!
It always sometimes does.
Shhhhh. Don’t wake the baby!
He sleeps and sleeps. Last night however…
These replies have awakened a craving for Benylin – the original drowsy do-not-operate-machines version 😀
You may already know that I have nominated you for a Liebster blog award; take a look:

Thank you for liking by poem The Sun Walkers. My name is Monica and I live in Los Angeles California. That picture is of the island of Kauai (one of the Hawaiian isles).
I am so glad to meet with you and your amazing blog. Thank you for visiting my blog, you are so nice. With my love, nia
That’s very kind. Thank you
Thank you for the visit! I returned the favor and quite enjoyed what I found,
Thanks, I skipped past the word ‘quite’ and replaced it unconsciously with ‘really’. Your site is busy and interesting and comprehensive. Thanks again.
Well quite and really are certainly interchangeable. Busy? Hmm…
Thank you for following my blog!Happy that you like it:) what an interesting blog you have:) for sure will be back here 🙂
Thanks, Siena has always on a list of ‘places to visit’; your website makes it look like a utopia!

Thanks. Pleased to,have found your blog. I’ll explore further. Regards from Thom at the immortal jukebox (plugged in now).
Hi – just a quickie to say we did make it to North Wales this weekend, and had a walk around Conwy – went in the Dylan Thomas shed and had a nice chat with the woman there. Unfortunately we’re bobbin off early tomorrow, so won’t get chance to come to your event – but wishing you the very best, and hope to meet up on a future visit. Cheers!
I intended to email you some of the found poetry we amassed in homage to yours, but ran out of signal and time. If I had thought you’d be this way (and were not just being polite) I’d have requested you master class the session we had in the bookshop basement. Did you see David Crystal in the evening?
Hi there. Had quite a packed anniversary weekend, so we weren’t about in the evening. Hope everything went well. How did the session go?
We’re off away now for a couple of weeks – reading and very little else. Best wishes. Cheers, Steve
Hi there. Thanks for visiting and following my blog. I look forward to having a read of yours – looks very interesting!
You’re welcome on both counts.
Ta for the comment, Glyn. Did you mean ‘Every Laugh is a Dice Throw’?
All the best,
Michael
Honored by your “like.” Thank you.
Honoured that you are following my blog, Glyn, thank you.
That’s a statement to make me smile over a pile of Sunday marking. Thanks and thanks

Hi Paul, thanks for message. The book itself has a great interview on it so I think I’ll let any readers just use that. If you’d like to review the book however, I’d be very excited. Thanks, Glyn
I would be honoured to review it Glyn.
