I have a very short (and rather strange) story over at the brilliant Metazen today. It’s called Two Old Women Birdwatching in My Garden. I hope you like it. It’s one I’m rather fond of.

Uplifting in so few words:)
Awww, nice one, Nik.
Oh! meant to ask – are you reading in Brighton next week, or is someone reading for you? I would be there if I could, but we're beetling off for a day or so. Good luck!
I loved it. I can feel my back against the bricks of your house; I would make them some cocoa if they come back.kim
Thanks Jen and Vanessa.V – The plan was that I'd get down there to read but a medical appointment the following day has thrown a spanner in the works. At the moment it's not looking likely that I'll be able to read in person (which has p****d me off considerably). Maybe the next one…?And thanks Kim – we could make the cocoa together. :)Nik
Lovely story. ~Miriam
Ok, if you do the next Sparks, or some other reading nearby, I pledge to meet for a pizza or a something,.
Supercool! You're on.
