He was unhurt, but soaked through and through,
When they got home she asked “How are you?”,
With his feet in a bowl,
He replied “Bloody cold,
And I couldn’t half do with a brew.”

This limerick may not make much sense on its own, but is the latest in a series. The others may be found here.

Divorced, grown/flown daughter. In life, I designed IT systems, taking a career break as a bicycle mechanic, until interrupted by a stroke in 2016, aged 48. As I convalesced, I combined the development of health-related apps with voluntary work, and began writing. After a stint working again in IT, I now write full-time, and use my blog space to let my hair down.
