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.
* Raises hand. Yes, Johnny. I believe Dog is trying to covey a desire to Mr. Geoff that he would like to change places. Mr. Geoff can have Dog’s seat, and Dog will take Mr. Geoff’s seat. Along with that, Dog is offering to trade tonight’s dinner as well.

I’ll just have a wee nap while he talks. Has no one told him how terribly boring mansplaining is? 🙂

I think Dog is being patient, waiting for you to move just a little so he’s completely in the shade.
