Inspired by Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) of 15 July 2023, newfangled.

A learned old man, who’d a stammer,
Was impractical, but tops at grammar,
He went terribly pale,
Tried to bash in a nail,
Alas used his new phone as a hammer,

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.

    • I know what you mean. Mine was productive, though. I managed to get a job 3 months ago working from home, so had that to do. But there are, like, aillion things to do around here as the place was neglected for so long. Last year my wife and I split up, not so bad except it means I have to do everything myself. Anyway, I have been repairing doors this evening.
