THE ICKLEST PARTICIPANT
This little boy was 8 years old and he read his poem really well for someone
so young. One of the girls told me later that she'd gone over to try and get
the kid's Dad interested, but he wasn't having any of it. When she asked the
boy if he wanted a chance to read a poem to be on the internet, he leapt at
the chance, but his Dad did nothing to encourage him, and afterwards did
nothing to congratulate his son on his efforts.

ROB GEE
I have probably blogged pics of my old mate Rob before, but here is is being
a "poetry redcoat" in Swansea yesterday. Only one person shouted "wanker".
Swansea, you've let me down!

Live. Swansea. Pedalpowered poetry karaoke.
EXPLANATION: My old friend Rob Gee from back in Leicester, who's a performance poet, texted me this morning to ask if I could get over to Swansea to meet up. I got the next train, and just got there in time to catch the last bit of the BBC's poetry roadshow which invited people to read either classic poems or their own, and to help power the amplifier by pedalling the bike. Twas good fun, and went for dinner with the cast and crew later. Was hoping to have time to do some cycling, perhaps Swansea to LLanelli, or even to Carmarthen, but we got a bit stoned and the afternoon carried on without us. This will not be broadcast on telly, just on the bbc website. I didn't take part just observed. bigger and better photos later.

HOW MANY BUGS CAN YOU SEE?
Mavis woke me up at 5.30am to tell me that it was raining and she had to
wear her new coat to school. She loves looking like a tree, and she loves
having invisible pockets!
