About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

Odd that. You seem to be in a small group… no idea why.

I have to use a door jamb. If I got down on the grass I’d never get up again 🙂

Sometimes I feel like lying in the yard and giving myself a good back scratch. Lol. Oh to be a dog. 🙂

Apart from the end to end way of greeting – frankly I think handshakes are intimate enough – I agree

Mine especially likes the flat-on-her-back-with-legs-in-the-air maneuver. Some days when she’s down by the liriope, all we see are legs waving above the foliage… 🙂
