Hi this is blog take 2. Poetry is the main purpose of this Blog. Poetry exists in the cracks left over from family life and work. This does not amount to very much time at all. Poetry is one of the subjects of my dream life. One that I hope to make a reality. As presures on my time increases so the time for poetry is squeezed into a smaller and smaller space. As a result my expectations and hopes for my poetry grow and grow. Typical. So this is a journal of my dream life. One of my resolutions for 2003 is to become a published poet. And another one is to add to this Blog on a regular basis. Just watch this space!

Today we've spent some time updating the Conjuring Sunlight web site. I've added a new poem to the Landscapes page and I've begun a new page called workshops. I'm hoping soon to be able to add some photographs and a selecion of the poems produced from the first workshop in Leicester.

I am overwhelmed by my level of paralysis. So much needs to be done. Today though was a day of hibernation - we kept warm, fed ourselves, let the children watch TV, read. I have not been out once. Katy said it was freezing outside when she ventured out for ten minutes.
