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.

I think it was very remiss of Dog’s butler to allow a stingy thing anywhere near his foot. Treats are called for!

He reported us to the Vet who produced an antihistamine for him. I think he like the chicken the tablets were wrapped in as a cure

He really excelled himself in the doe eyed stakes… I do wonder if so much chicken is a good thing

I feel Dog’s pain. As a kid whenever I ran through a patch of clover barefooted I would pick up a sting..Learned to be cautious.

I fell on a wasp’s nest when about 7. I think it took my another six years before my arse and the rest of me were back in proportion…

I’m constantly told they’re good for the garden… which is a bit like saying serial killers do a service in regulating the population

The garden still looks amazing. Love the clover. But my sympathies are with Dog of course. Poor baby. I’m sure he will get lots of cuddles and treats.

Poor Dog. 😦 Is he a bit more wary of tiptoeing through the clover now?
